WHAT IS AN INTERNET
FORUMS

REDDIT
An Internet forum, or message board, is an
online discussion site where people can hold
conversations in the form of posted messages.
One of the most common places for people to
have conversations, ask questions, and provide
answers is Internet forums.
 HOW FORUMS WORK
In a standard internet forum, a user creates a post. That
post can be accessed by other users at any time. Posts can
contain questions, opinions, images, videos, links, and
more. Users can respond to the post, which creates a
dialogue other users can participate in, also called a thread.
They can start a new thread of conversation by creating a
post on a different topic. All of these threads combine to
make what's called a message board.
 FOLLOWING PROPER
NETIQUETTE
 Read the forum's rules before posting for the first time.

 When commenting, stay on topic or start a new thread.

 Do not use an internet forum simply to promote your own business or products.

 Be respectful of others.

 Use correct spelling and grammar; avoid slang and profanity. (However, some
forums encourage their own jargon, terms and abbreviations.)
 Report abuse to an administrator or moderator, and don't respond to abusive
comments (a futile effort commonly known as "feeding the trolls.“)
Do not post personal information that could be used to impersonate or endanger
you or your loved ones
Do not use ALL CAPS in a post, as it is interpreted as shouting.
Do not use a public thread to conduct a private conversation
Do not start a new post on a subject that's already been covered
