Rules of Engagement: Revisited

(I'm feeling oh, I dunno- reckless)

...or "Rules I Need Reminding Of"

and a scale of 1-10 for how I think I'm doing...(10 being "the beast is caged", 1 being "drama queen-a-rama")

Rule #1:
When in doubt, don't do it, post it, upload it, respond or comment to it.
(1, if only counting today) +2!

-5

Rule #2:
Don't gossip about other vloggers.
(7, doin' MUCH better, although skpe-time needs work) +2!

-5

Rule #3:
Don't be a fly to shit. Ignore drama.
(2, shit on that one just recently) +2!

-5

Rule #4:
Don't VUI (vlog under the influence)- of alcohol, lack of sleep, cold meds, or maps
(6- I wish I could say I shaved points off for the other three, but lack of sleep is my achilles heel)

Rule #5:
If prone to addiction and running-of-the-mouth, stay clear of LIVE channels
(10, they're a waste of time anyway, DOH!! Points off for #2!)

Rule #6:
If compelled to call people on their shit, consider whether it's constructive in any way- otherwise, let it be. It's their shit.
(2, aw man...still suck big-time on this one)

Rule #7:
Don't feel you have to stand up for anyone when they haven't asked. Respect them enough to know they can handle their own battles just as you would, without expecting anyone else to have your back.
(0, sucka me)

Rule #8:
Consider bulletins as for the good of the community, to promote others, or for a collective project, and maybe random pleasantries-nothing else.
(10, yeppers)

Rule #9:
Leave metioning others out of your vids unless you have their permission.
(10, doin' okay on that one)

Rule #10:
If someone un-friends or un-subs, don't take it personally.
(10, hell no)

Rule #11:
Back away from vlogging (quietly) when necessary.
(8, need a break right now, methinks)

Rule #12:
Don't leave without dropping a comment.
(9, hardly ever)

Rule #13:
Never give advice unless directly requested. Even then, resist- offer choices. Most people just want an ear.
(9, for the most part. Getting better at boundaries, too)

Rule #14:
Keep it a hobby- 1 hr. tops per day, otherwise, it's an addiction.
(3, HAHAHAHAHA!! This one's just freakin' hopeless, but okay, I'll try)

Rule #15:
Forgive yourself for breaking the rules and move on.
(10, yeah baby!)

NEW Rule #16:
Dont take yourself so seriously. (thanks Judith!)

SCORE: Last time 98, This time 88. Ruh Roh

TIME FOR A LITTLE BREAK!

Syd....I was just kidding.Those are excellent rules...really.
I would never ever want to be too much of a smarty pants and
give the wrong impression.I could never come up with 16 rules so well thought out and considerate of others.Please teach....don't send me to
virtual time out. ;-)

OMG! are you kidding me?I can't even remember all those rules.
I'll have to study them all night... like I'm taking an exam in the morning.What was that about giving out advice?;-);-)

i like 8, 10, 11, 13 and 15.

1. sometimes, the things i doubt have the best responses. like... i should stop doubting myself. :)
2. what defines gossip? ...yes, i'm trying to find a way around this one...
3. sometimes drama is...something that perks interest in itself? maybe?
4. why not! *googly eyed as i type*
5. this is easier for me. it really isn't my thing unless it was something planned between me and... hm, oh let's say YOU. :)
6. this is a good one and i think i do this.

i'm too ....... to finish. but i like this list.

I think you need to cut down on the rules! You'll be opening Parliament next! Just need "I will only do on LV what I enjoy"!!
