Knot Etiquette
Newbies & lurkers, please don't be shy! Feel free to make a post introducing yourself (and post on the "about you" sticky). Tell us what your role is in the wedding, your date, how FI proposed, whatever you want! We love intro posts and it gives the all of the "regulars" an opportunity to get to know a little bit about you & your wedding.
Some things for you to remember:
1) Lurk first! Take the time to just observe, read posts and get a feel for how things work here before you start posting... or dive right in!
2) We talk about a lot of things, not just wedding related information. Many people actually become friends. That's a good thing, embrace it!
3) Vendors are not welcome. Please don't come on here advertising your business. It will be deleted as soon as I see it and let you know.
4) Don't ask a question unless you actually want an answer. You will hear all sides, people who agree with you and people who disagree with you. Be prepared for that. We are a friendly bunch though so don't be shy.
5) Google is your friend. Use It. Love it. Also, search through prior posts, there is a good chance someone has just answered a question similar to yours.
6) Don't post ANY personal information. It is a public message board and ANYONE can read it. Personal info includes phone numbers, full name (esp last name), work info.. etc. If your screen name has your full name or email in it, please change it. It's for your protection.
7) Give credit. No you will not be banned for not giving credit where it is due, but please do so anyway. If a knottie has been particularly helpful, give her a shout out. If you use another knottie's photo in your bio put their name and a link next to it (if you remembered to save it). If you didn't save it, don't be offended if she asks you to do this.
Happy planning!!
