Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Most of the online dating sites will usually have a forum and a blog where you can write your own posts and comments respectively. Other dating sites may also have an array of interactive features where you can create quizzes, polls, conduct surveys, play games and more.
The trick for maintaining good etiquette on these parts of the dating site is to understand that your post or comment is being read by many other members of the site. The communication aspect of these features are very different to using say the messaging section where the communication is one to one.
Usually the forum will have a main post where a ‘thread’ of discussion emanates from the topic related to the post. To make an effective contribution to the forum board, requires you to read what has already been written and then write something useful so that the flow of conversation keeps going. Don’t offend other people or ridicule them, be courteous to any responses made on your thread and comments.
One thing to keep in mind about forums and blogs that are tied to the dating site, is that your profile reflects the contributions you have made to the forum or blog. So it is in your interest to make sure that your remarks are good and proper as it reflects in the overall quality of your profile in the eyes of other members.
