I was going to post this in the 'closing account' thread, but I have no idea where that thing is going.
However, that thread had me thinking about forum etiquette. I haven’t been here long. My first post was last August. I had a few posts early on that had, what I thought at the time, were slightly snarky or unnecessary responses. I have gone back and looked and now I think they are just funny or silly.
The point being, in any community, it takes a while to understand the dynamics and assimilate a bit.
I also went back and noticed some things I did (or didn’t do) that I would now find negligent or offensive. For instance, my very first post was a beef rib cook I did. I received a ton of positive posts and welcomes to the forum. I just looked, and I did not ‘like’ or ‘agree’ with one of those responses. At the time, I didn’t know any better. I have corrected that error, so those of you who responded to my first post have received ‘likes’ or ‘agrees’ 10 months after the fact.
And thanks to all for a very warm welcome 10 months ago.

Just kidding.
While it it is always nice to “like” or “agree”, I would never think this an outright obligation. Still very considerate of you to revisit past posts.

This forum is about food, cooking, having fun with your EGG and similar topics ... please don’t post links or images or create posts that are irrelevant for the purpose of this forum, which includes insulting, offensive, racist, sexist, political, discriminatory, obscene or vulgar remarks or any post which may be found to be in violation of any law or ordinance.

If you do any of this, we will of course delete the post and call upon the Buffalo to determine the extent of your suspension or permanent ban.
Please make the effort to be respectful of other users, moderators and administrators at all times. We are talking about the BIG GREEN EGG after all, so don’t be a troll -- lighten up and have some fun!
You have every right to disagree with fellow forum members and explain your perspective, however, thou shall not get combative or attack, degrade, insult or otherwise belittle fellow posters or the forum staff or the quality of this community. It does not matter what stature you think you hold in these forums, you are expected to maintain decorum and play nice. The Buffalo is ever vigilant, and doing otherwise will get your account suspended temporarily … or permanently if the situation is blatant or repetitive.
Above all, this is not a gathering place for insults – if you can’t keep it upbeat, at least be neutral – if you have to be snarky, please post elsewhere.
