1. *Always learn to appreaciate other people’s posts, even if they are not your friend.* It makes them feel important and encouraged to come up with something more positive.

2. *Never run people down on the platform in a group chat.* You will cause them to withdraw and will never come up with their objective views on issues.

3. *When you see something you don’t like from a member, inbox the person.* Don’t attack him/her on the platform publicly.

4. *Never insult or use unpleasant languages on members.* You expose your uncultured manners and attitude to people and may turn the platform to combat ground.

5. *Be quick to say sorry and apologize when u have erred.* It helps to bring down the tension which your utterances must have created.

6. *Don’t try to enforce your ideas or suggestions on members.* Nobody has monopoly of knowledge, allow majority conclusions to prevail on issues.

7. *Never settle scores with anybody on a general group chat.* It will give others the opportunity to take sides, thereby causing others to withdraw.

8. *When anyone is celebrating, he/she may not need to be your friend before you celebrate with that person.* It’s the spirit of togetherness

9. *Some have the gift of talking and others the gift of reading.* Learn to contribute to the group… Even if it is just using the symbol 👍… It makes people know that you appreciate the group.

*There are 3 types of posts you will always see on a group chat:*

(A) *Offensive posts*.. Don’t attack the person, it could be a mistake.

(B) *Inspirational/educative posts…*
Commend the person.. Don’t just read and keep quiet.

(C) *Meaningless/wrongly uninformed posts..* Start by appreciating the writer, then correct the information, but don’t hush him up with condemnation.
*#Be kindly affectionate to one another….*

Thank you all for making the group great and alive. Let’s keep accommodating and tolerating one another. 🤚🏽
