User blog:Mata Nui/Think before talking

Right... This should have been said long ago.

Before you say anything that might seem offensive or insulting, stop and think.

Especially if English isn't your native language (Yeah, that applies to me too), since you might not always know exactly how to say things, and what sounds one way to you, might sound completely different to someone else.

Even if you're joking, make sure that it is obvious that you are joking.

And if you feel someone is insulting you, then tell an admin, and it should get dealt with. Don't yell at each other.

And if you feel that your emotions are getting out of control, then leave the computer, and come back when you feel more stable.

But most of all, always assume that it is a misunderstanding, that no one meant to insult you, because they mostly don't.
