Good morning/day/evening/night!

Here comes the third part in the blog series. In this part, I will write about how to use the internet sensibly. I hope I will help some people, but if you have any questions or suggestions, please write it in a comment!

Internet communities and forums
Personally, I like to register at forums and communities. I enjoy talking to other people, get friends and discuss interesting themes. I mostly register at video game forums. It is a good place to follow game news, too. Well, Planet Minecraft is a place like this.

- Style
I want to start with this topic because this is the most important thing when you register at a forum or community. Before reading the following content, note that it is only my opinion. Everyone should create his/her own style, but let me tell you some advices. I advise to write with right grammar (if you are not English, like me, there can be mistakes :D), because it will show the people that you are serious about registering at that site. Let me tell you some examples:
- If possible, try to avoid slang words, here are some examples: Write...
Thank you or thanks instead of thx, ta or 10x
- Start every sentence with a capital letter, and other grammar things like that :)
Try to choose a way or theme that you like and you will be active in. For example, I love drawing, so I chose to make skins.

- Introduction
It is very important how you introduce yourself to a community. When you are writing an introduction topic or blog, try to be friendly, and tell the people why you registered, what are you interested in, and what are you planning to do in the community or forum.

- Submissions and other work
The only thing I can say here is only share quality work. I already wrote a few things about submissions in my Planet Minecraft: Beginner's Guide
blog (watch out, this link will take you away from this page!).

Chatting and talking
When you are chatting or talking to people online, try to pay attention to:
- Grammar, as mentioned before
- Be friendly and patient: Don't be angry for small things.
- Be tolerant: If somebody makes a mistake or bullies you, stay calmed and give them another chance.
- If you disagree with somebody, try to tell her/him the reasons why you disagree with her/him, and don't start to bully the person or saying she's/he's silly. Accept that everyone is different, and we can have different opinions.

Solving problems
The internet is a great place if you know how to handle it. But unfortunately there are bad people, too, who bully or troll others, or upload and share harmful content (both viruses or content not for children).
You can do the followings if you notice any of the things mentioned before:

- Bad content
If you notice that a person is uploading or sharing content not for children, viruses or any other things which are against the rules of the forum or community
, you can report this person. Usually, there is a 'Report' button at the forums or communities, and then a moderator will check the content that you reported.

- Someone bullies you
If someone is making any sorts of bullying, such as
trolling you (destroying your house in Minecraft, hacking your account, sending you annoying messages or simply not leaving you alone), you should report this person to a moderator or administrator. If you try to get rid of this person, be careful!

All in all, if you follow these advices, you might be good friends with internet! :) Remember to be patient, and you will notice that you can use the internet for a lot of useful things! ;) But don't forget that there are bad people, too, so be careful when you are using the internet! Stay tuned until the next part!

Have a nice morning/day/evening/night! :)
