one is when one member asks you for an answer and you answer them , you might have to repeat the message to other members who ask ?
Also I for instance repeat certain sayings to all members across the forum , hope this is not wrong or do I need to include other sayings ?? ( maybe be more personal )
If you're engaged in conversations with people and you happen to repeat sayings or advice you've given previously because it is relevant to that conversation, then that is ok. If you were jumping into threads across the forum and copying and pasting in the same replies without regard for the person or the conversation, then that would be repetition.
Another example here is if you are the person seeking support. You may start a thread asking for support around something that's happening for you at the moment. Then you jump into several other threads posting the exact same thing without regard for the conversation going on in that thread - that would be repetition.
Perhaps a way of thinking about these guidelines would be to imagine that you were in an offline/face-to-face conversation. At what point would the behaviour start to seem disrespectful, or potentially upsetting for the people you're engaging with?
Also about tagging others , do you mean just tag that member ?
or is it ok to add other members names ( is this putting pressure on them to answer) because that is not my intention at all @espressologic
I wouldn't consider tagging people to be putting pressure on. If you imagine the forum is a big hall with different groups all having conversations in the room, tagging is the digital equivalent of waving at someone and calling them over into your conversation.
Tagging someone and then saying "why haven't you replied to my post yet?" or "I've noticed that [tag] hasn't responded to me, they obviously don't care" would be examples of putting pressure on someone to answer. This would apply to other forum members as well as our staff.
Does this make sense?
