According to Google (search, not Inc.) it was Voltaire who said that common sense wasn’t so common
I believe that some people are idiots or worse. But most are probably just clueless and/or lazy

Hi Etienne,

Thanks for reading! Definitely agree with Bill’s rule. My other favourite SM policy is, “Don’t be stupid!”.

The irony is…off the back of this post, I’ve had a few more LinkedIn requests than normal. And 50% of the invitations I got had the stock LinkedIn invitation to connect!

Hi Maebellyne

I mostly agree with what you wrote and totally love this article.

Since we don’t have any physical proximity online, I believe that a more “vague” behavior than in face-to-face situations is okay. Say I visit a LinkedIn group only 2-3 times per year, I think it’s still okay to “like” one or two discussions or comments. At an event where nobody knows me it would however be weird if I came in, tapped somebody on the shoulder and walked away

But you’re right that we don’t need any special rules for online behavior. There’s already the Golden Rule or Bill Boorman’s “social media policy”: Be a grown up!

So funny how all of this is “common sense” and yet so many people struggle to do these things, which necessitated you to write this post in the first place…

You can use Photoshop to edit the template. Let me know if you have any problems with it.
