What Are The Essential Traits You Need, To Survive On A Forum?

What are the traits, you think are necessary to survive on a Forum?

Have you changed in any way since joining a Forum?

You can answer this question as seriously or as funny as you like!

Friendliness, but not over friendly.
Interested in others posts or problems.
Able to help with advice if asked.
The ability to join in, eg post pictures etc.
A sense of humour is advisable & an ability not to take offence as the typed wording can be misconstrued at times.
Finally to have fun in the virtual world you chose to be in.

Tolerance of others with different views to our own.

Not trying to dictate how others post.

Empathy, and a sense of humour go a long way.

Hi

A very thick skin.

The ability to accept that those who pretend to be your friends are not.

Life as an Enforcement Officer was really very simple,bad and good.

The Internet is not.

Same as Nom, but with the ability to sit on your hands at times.

I agree Nom, and you are definitely right about biting your tongue.
