Not-a-meme #18:
How important to you are good manners in Second Life? I don't mean the hold your pinkie up type of manners either.
When you tell someone you will do something or be somewhere for something do you show up? Are you generally polite to other players you don't know? (Heaven knows I pick on the ones I do know hehe). Do you feel free to blast others because of the anonymity factor? Do you belong to the group who says if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all group? Feel free to rant, vent or rave about your view on this subject.
For myself the I try to be very much what I would like others to be. I'm not perfect by any means but I do try to think about others. Some of the stuff I have seen in the past week alone has left me with my mouth gaping open. I'm all for manners in Second Life.
Examples:
The model who didn't show up for a big fashion show. (Off SL this would so get you fired you would never consider skipping a show unless you were seriously ill!)
The person who complains about the free hair given out. (Off SL if some major person in hair was giving out free cuts you would stand in line for hours cheerfully!)
The Blogger who trashes other in order to make themselves feel more important.
There are other examples... if people are counting on you to do your share in a project then do it! Be patient with the new players remember you were new once too! When people are counting on you to uphold your share of a project then do it! I can go on and on but you get the point. :) I say it's time to bring basic manners back into fashion don't you?

Interesting question Rose. I'll respond in your comments as I don't have a personal blog. I for one do not understand a lot of the nasty, rude behaviour that is so frequently witnessed in SL, and on some blogs. It really isn't that hard to be nice, and the reward is that most of the people you deal with will respond the same way. It's win win. I don't feel that the anonymity offered by SL is any excuse to treat people differently to how you would treat someone in RL, but then my persona in SL is very much my real personality anyway. You mentioned patience with new players, that is actually something I am having increasing difficulty with; I used to go out of my way to help newcomers but after a number of bad experiences with new people in recent times, I don't really make a big effort there anymore. I will however be polite unless you come towards me naked wearing a freebie penis and ask me for sex :)
Stephanie so nice to see you posting in here :) Yes the sex thing does tend to end the nice toward new and old players! :D

Quite a long reply of mine that covers in-world Second Life manners as well what I consider to be (SL) blog ettiquette. Ow, and my worst sin. *grins*
