Respect is every where all the time. Respect is taught and shown all throughout the world. The A5OD will be NO exception.Without respect this community will not function as a whole. We ALL need to show respect to one another.
Many things that take place in an online community, such as this, fall under the category of Respect.
Courtesy of Posts- If you have the answer to a question, do not answer it with "Use the Search Button." Answer their question with respect and you may include "Please try to use the search button next time." However, this does go both ways. Please do not create stupid threads with no purpose what so ever to them. Also, please do try and look around and search before you post a question.
Flaming- Please, lets not see any of this on the A5OD. I realize we are on an online forum, but that gives you no right to make fun of someone or call them names. Flaming is an immature way to make your self feel better and have a sense of power; we will not stand for this. The second that you register to this wonderful website, you agreed to be a civilized human being that knows how to show respect toward a fellow poster.
Karma- If you see a poster being very helpful and respectful and you think they deserve some karma, then go ahead! Don’t forget to leave a nice comment too; these nice comments always make my day. In my opinion I like the comments better than the points that they come with! This also goes both ways though. If you see someone being negative, flaming, or disrespectful you can give them negative karma points and please report their post to a moderator. Hopefully, they will learn their lesson.
Without respect the world would crumble and so will this community if we don’t use and show respect. Respect is a big part of the A5OD so please read over this thread, then read it again and always think of respect before you post!
