A Little Reminder To Us All

I just wanted to say that sometimes we have new people asking on people's comments to be followed I've had a few myself in the past, and yes it can be slightly irritating.
But then it occurred to me the other day that maybe these newcomers have come from other social apps, which mainly work on a follow me I'll follow you basis, and do not realise that it isn't how things work on Opuss.
All they need is a kind word to explain how things work which will firstly make things clear, and secondly show what a supportive community we are.

Thank you for reading x

Opuss has given me a love of words and writing...

You're right โค๐Ÿ˜“

Well said. I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable with the clique attitude on here.

Agreed

Indeedy.. Although I usually just delete them in the rare occasions I get them ๐Ÿ˜‰ @eddie12309 +1

@Burrfoot or -1

@Irrational_Kimmi @BethyBoo @minxyMolly thank you for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜

@eddie12309 ๐Ÿ˜‚ I have no idea! I thought I was being down with the kids, does '+1' mean you agree with the comment? Took me months to figure out what NSFW meant !

@eddie12309 I don't think it was a clique attitude, we are all happy to read new work and welcome new members, but when they turn up, post rehashed old quotes then ask for likes and follows and kick off when they are told that's not good etiquette around here, then yes, they might get told off.

@DrCarrow sometimes we just assume people know better ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜˜

@eddie12309 I just remember what a daunting place it was when I first joined but it's easy to forget not everyone knows how it works and I know what you mean about the clique at the end of the day there is some really good new talent on here and it would be a shame if they felt that they don't fit in or that there isn't room for them ๐Ÿ˜”

@eddie12309 thanks for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜

@Burrfoot I tend to ignore them, because I assume they know better which isn't always the case tho ๐Ÿ˜’

@Burrfoot have some ๐Ÿป๐Ÿปfor the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜

@HarleyQuinn thank you for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜๐ŸŒน

@Irrational_Kimmi not everyone that that asks for follows has posted quotes ๐Ÿ˜Š

@sjw i guess, thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŒน

@eddie12309 ok so I'm over-generalising but the point is actually join in a bit to the app first. I didn't ask for any followers when I joined - I read other people's work, commented and had a bit of common sense. I guess my standards are too high?

@Irrational_Kimmi I see your point the point your making but what I'm saying is that if they are young and have come from other social apps they maybe assume that's the way to get followers so they just need a few kind words obviously I'm not talking about those that know how it works and repeatedly do it but even then isn't it easier to just delete or ignore the comment ๐Ÿ˜Š

@sjw I've just said plainly - asking for follows isn't what we do around here. I've not been rude or mean unless they have acted bratty. Just deleting their post doesn't really address the issue.

@Burrfoot maybe. -1 as another follower goes.

@Irrational_Kimmi of course your standards aren't too high. But as @sjw says it can be quite daunting on here and if your used to a certain way, they shouldn't be vindicated for getting it wrong, its not a good advert for Opuss. That's all. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@eddie12309 โ˜บ I guess we just have to encourage them to get involved with the community โ˜บ

Holla! Well said :3

Cool :)

@gazplend bog off!!! xx

@gazplend mwaah for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜x

@eddie12309 me too! Well said from me too @sjw ๐Ÿ˜ฝ

I agree Sienna, very wise of you to notice this and to post an opuss letting us all know. When u first joined I was very intimidated, I commented on opusses and liked many too, I always got support and constructive criticism on my posts. An I understand what you're saying about how it is a race to get the most followers, it tends to be like that on twitter. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’

Splendid :)

@crowncottage thank you I just felt we all needed reminding myself included ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜˜

@LittleKitten that's what made me think that some genuinely dont know that's not how things work ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’

@ecut0004 thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

Lovely Sienna. What a kind soul you are!๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŒŸ

@Bluegerbil thanks again for the RP ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’
