What Not To Do When Posting On Forums-A Rant
Filed Under internet home business, forums | Posted on January 26, 2009
Many of us who are trying to promote an internet home business use forums as a means of free advertising and to learn more from other marketers. It really is like an online course in so many ways. I’ve had learned so much about internet marketing and affiliate, MLM and investment opportunities through forums alone.
You can make great connections through forums and inevitably make some invaluable business contacts. I have “met” a few people online who have majorly helped me along the way.
Doesn’t sound too much like a rant though…does it. Now here goes…on the MMG forum at http://www.moneymakergroup.com/forums.html or something like that there is a complete asshole who has provoked me into writing this post. The anonymity of the internet lets people hide behind their computers and let’s their true personna come out. These people are often to cowardly to act that way in real life.
On forums, most of us try to promote our own programs on threads specific to our company and will maybe comment on another thread in order to learn more. Most of us try to stay above board and actually try to provide an intellectual tone.
Not this asshole. Should I say his name? Why not….no one knows him. Well maybe towards the end. This guy constantly posts on other threads and essentially puts anyone who promotes anything else down. He never provides a comment that would give food for thought…just nasty, mean and completely unintellectual.
He has done it to me and commented on things I was promoting, but what really pissed me off is I have been reading his posts lately on every thread and he does it to everyone. It doesn’t seem the guy has an intelligent bone in his body and uses anyway he can to put everyone down.
This is what not to do when posting on forums. You will not make friends or connections this way. It will not happen. You only lose respect and when you need help in this cyber community people will turn on you too.
Here is to you. Let’s just say his name starts with an O and ends with an R. Maybe you can get a life and stop needling people but rather contribute in a positive way. If the world were filled with people like you we would be in a hopeless situation.
Until the next time,

It is hard at times not to go ballistic on the rudeness of others. But I have to agree it doesn’t represent the online businesses we are trying to promote. I enjoyed your blog.
