Before you ask a question, search to see if someone else has already asked it.

No personal attacks.

In general, when asking questions or writing responses, try to make Fluther the type of site that you would like to visit often, and not like all the other Q&A sites out there.

Welcome to Fluther @Samantha_Rae!

hang around awhile and read the Hall Of Fame questions to catch up on inside jokes

No homework questions, no txt spk, be polite in general.
If people ask you follow-up questions, answer them!
Give Lurve where Lurve is due.

It’s nice to thank those that answer your questions if they are helpful.

Go next to John Powell’s PBR and you will lose a hand.

I learned that the hard way.

Don’t make a joke until the question has been answered!

Great question and welcome to Fluther. I wish more newbies cared about learning our etiquette. Way to start off on the right foot :)

@lefteh I’m guilty of breaking that rule all the time. I can’t help myself.

If you want to comment to someone and it is a bit off topic then whisper (code is below comment box)

If you want to address comments to a particular person then do it this way @Samantha_Rae (use at @ sign before typing someones name)

Generally though just be thoughtful and respectful.

Welcome to Fluther. It is by far one of my favorite websites.

There’s no way to tell who lurve comes from so they can’t tell if you’re stalking. I mean- if someone makes a great answer, don’t be afraid to let them know!

Until you’re intimately familiar with other Jellies, it’s usually best to keep your tentacles to yourself.~

Welcome to Fluther! =)

There is a wealth of information about this site at the links at the bottom of this page. One very good way to learn more is to read the archive blogs.
