If there were any advice that I could give to any user who is already here or is looking to start editing here, it would be the following:
If there were any advice that I could give to any user who is already here or is looking to start editing here, it would be the following:
#'''Do not post your personal opinion on a talk page'''. Stick to the facts. Further, do not bring up personal matters with others on the talk pages. If you have a problem with something, request to speak to them in a private manner. What is posted here and on talk pages will be seen by everyone. No matter how witty you think you are or "in the wrong" you believe someone is.. it won't help your situation. Most of the time, you will be seen as the villain for publicly humiliating (both you and the) other user.

#'''Never take to heart what users say on ''that site'''''. You'll become obsessed with everything they do. "Did they mention me?" "Maybe they'll see that new edit I made and have a laugh about it."
