The Do's And Don't In Steemit Platform by @goodybest

Good morning friends, you're welcome to my blog! As users of this wonderful platform there are things we should do and things we shouldn't try. So today I'll be writing about those things. STEEMIT is a great platform with many users and as such it has set of rules and guidelines or acceptable behavior for its users to abide by them. I hope this information will benefit someone but especially the new users. What are this rules? Find out in the next paragraph.

THE CUSTOMS/GUIDELINES OF STEEMIT

I designed it
1.STEEMIT IS A PROOF OF BRAIN WORK: So don't plagiarize, do not take or pass out others work as your own, don't tarnish your reputation by making false claims or stealing others work and pretended as yours if you do endings plagiarism will surely come for you.

2.DON'T POST AND RUN: it is bad for you to only make your post, without curating and commenting on other users work. If you're fun of this that means you're simply taking from the platform without given. So create time to engage in commenting and curating.

3.DO NOT OVER POST: Please have mercy on your followers, some people don't have plenty time, so do not post 10times in a day because people will not have the time to read all that and can even annoy them. And most importantly it will also reduce your payouts if you make More than 4 post a day.

4.POST NUDITY OR GRAPHIC IMAGE ONLY IF YOU USE NSFW TAG: have it at the back of your mind that if you post nude or graphic images without the nsfw tags you will be likely to flagged.

DON'T ENGAGE IN SPAM: don't use a tag which your post is not related to. For example a post about Tron is ok in cryptocurrency but you shouldn't tag with Ethereum. This is because tag spamming annoys people rather than getting upvotes, and you may be likely flag for committing this offense.

DON'T POST UNRELATED LINKS IN COMMENT: It is considered link spamming. If your post is not related to direct conversation don't drop the link of your post because you want to promote your work. It looks bad and you're at the risk of getting flagged. There are great channels for Promoting links, like the discord, telegram and Whatsapp, put it there.

I designed it using polish app
VOTE:

• Don't ask for vote, if your post is interesting it will definitely be voted.
• if you vote someone don't expect to be voted back(reciprocation)
• Do not pay to get votes
• Don't ask for money directly
• Do not vote yourself, It is wrong in the sense that it is a social platform where you encourage others to relate with you and judge your work not you judging yourself. Others who vote your work do so because they benefited from what you have written or that what you have written is beneficial, you can't rate yourself.

DO NOT FLAG OTHERS CONTENTS: simply because you disagree or you don't like it. If you don't like something post it at the comment section of the post explaining your reasons, if you can't do that then move on.

DON'T (DM) DIRECT MESSAGE PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW IN THE CHAT:it is considered intrusion on people's privacy.
Donot pretend to be familiar with other users you don't know. don't lick people who have great Steem Power.

DON'T USE YOUR WALLET TO GET ATTENTION: Sending small amount of steem as a way of advertising yourself or post is wrong.

ALWAYS PROVIDE YOUR VERIFICATION: So that people will know that you're a real person.

DON'T MAKE AN ARGUMENTATIVE POST DON'T MAKE IT PERSONAL: If you intend to call out certain behaviors it is better you do so in a more general way, so that people will not think or feel that they're singled out. If you point out a particular person argument with definitely ensue and escalate.

HELLO KEEP YOUR ADOLESCENT REMARKS TO YOURSELF: don't behave like a 13year old boy if you see a beautiful woman. Be friendly and help in making the platform a comfortable place for women.

HEY DON'T BE A DRAMA QUEEN: Everyone used to have their bad days deal with it yourself don't transfer aggression on other users. Don't create unnecessary drama, it won't look good on you, you will only embarrass yourself.

Source
DON'T BE A TROLL OR A STALKER: going after female members of the community in a distinctly unsavory way is prohabited. If you commit this thanks to the reputation system because it will silence you.

PLEASE DON'T RESTEEM EVERYTHING YOU SEE: it's just like over posting, always be conscious of others, so be polite and resteem only a limited number of post you know will benefit others.

COMMUNITY AND CONTESTS:
Follow the rules of the community you join. If you partake in a contest make sure you follow the steps and the rules of the contest in order to stand a chance of winning.

Donot critique people's work except they ask you to.

Admit when you're wrong, and apologize.

Forgive people

Reply your comments

Do thank people and help others.

ALWAYS CHECK OUT NEW POST AND CURATE: spend sometime on new post not only on trending, comment and vote on them because it goes a long way in keeping others active at least they will know someone like their write up.

Share a great post on other social media platform like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram etc. It's a way of Promoting steem.
