A question for those of you who have been on here a long time. What advice would you give new and newish posters?

Do you make any rules for yourself about the types of threads in which you post or how frequently. I have noticed about myself that I can get pulled into unusual topics posted by or attracting prickly personalities (maybe that means I am one😯)

I had an account a long time ago before smart phones. I noticed it had some pull on me then but everything was quite different. I don’t interact with strangers in other social media, so I can’t apply most of my unofficial facebooking rules here.

Anyway what have you learned about yourself or your habits the longer you are here? What unofficial guidelines have you made for yourself?
 
If it’s anything that deals with scrupulosity I just say that the OP should talk to their pastor and/or spiritual director (because they really should).
 
I pretty much avoid anything dealing with politics or politicians. Those threads lead me to extremely uncharitable thoughts about my fellow Catholics.
 
If you suspect it is a minor, but they indicate otherwise?

Avoid the thread? Continue conversation hoping that you speak some truth for other eyes to see? Depends on the situation?

Thank you! I find these helpful.
 
There are about twenty forums and subforums here altogether. To start off with, my suggestion would be to give them all a try. Eventually, of course, you’ll probably find that there are only a handful of forums where you can regularly expect to find discussions that match your main areas of interest, but don’t be in too much of a hurry to narrow down your focus.
 
I generally don’t go into the politics threads and subforums. Because, why would I want that misery in my life?

Also, never forget your sense of humor. It makes you less cranky when you are on those threads that might go up in flames.

Sometimes you just have to drop things and have a fun time on here.
 
I only do it when I’m bored and am looking for some mental exercise… 😒🚬
 
I try not to make the same point to the same poster twice. If they don’t get it they don’t get it. Just move on.
