How to Post a Comment on NXTLOG
A friendly message from the NXTLOG Moderators...

The Commenting feature on NXTLOG has become very popular! It's a great way for NXTLOGgers to leave complimentary feedback, ask questions, and have a dialogue about MINDSTORMS NXT projects.

Leaving a comment on someone’s NXTLOG project is like joining in on a conversation. Good “commenters” add to the conversation in an informative and friendly way. Become a great NXTLOG commenter by keeping these simple guidelines in mind BEFORE you comment.

Add NEW information

More than ONE person leaving the same comment is too much (and not ORIGINAL). Read the thread of comments before you comment to make sure that the message you leave offers something NEW to the conversation.

Don't comment for the sake of commenting

DON'T comment just to see your username on a NXTLOG. DO comment if you wish to add something valuable to the thread of comments.

K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple and Specific! Keep your comments short and to the point. NXTLOGger's who only say "Cool!" all the time may gain the reputation for being unoriginal commenters. If you leave a comment, say something MORE than just "Cool!" say something SPECIFIC about the NXT project that makes it "Cool!" Also... using too many !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a comment is NOT Keeping It Simple and Specific. (It can also can cause eye strain, may make readers think that you are shouting, and it may wear out the ! key on your keyboard. So PLEASE use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sparingly.)

PLAY NICE! and PLAY SAFE!

If you disagree with something in a project or in a comment, PLAY NICE and add to the conversation in a friendly and respectful way. DON'T leave your e-mail or your full name in a comment because it's not safe to leave your personal contact information on a public website. DON'T place in links in comments (or projects) to NXT videos hosted on websites that are not your own. Many video sites have content on them that are not appropriate for NXTLOG visitors. DO PLAY SAFE and help to make NXTLOG a safe and fun online community.

Stay on Topic

It is not a good idea post a comment on a project about a NXT Snowmobile that says, "I like the sun!" Please STAY ON TOPIC.

No Double Posting or Cross Posting

Double Posting or Cross Posting is leaving the SAME message on the same or multiple projects. No one wants to read the same comments over and over!

What does that say? Oh... Spelling Matters! Well do you best. Everyone who visits NXTLOG wants to read and understand what you have to say. So, do you best to check your spelling and punctuation BEFORE you publish a comment.

Give Credit to the MINDSTORMS Community

If you want to share an idea that you learned from another member of the MINDSTORMS community, give them credit. (Everyone appreciates a little praise).

Don't comment when you are feeling angry

No one is at their best in when they are feeling angry. If you find yourself angrily typing a comment, STOP, take a breath, and give it a day. Revisit the thread when your head is clear.

Someone is reading your comments

All comments on NXTLOG are moderated (read by the MINDSTORMS NXT team) before they are published. So if you don't see your post online, it may be still be in the moderation queue, or it may have been rejected because... 1. The comment was a repeat of a comment previously posted by another user 2. You weren't "Playing Nice" in your comment 3. The comment had personally identifiable information (like an e-mail or full name) 4. The comment was a Double Post 5. The comment was off topic 6. The comment had a link to a website that has inappropriate content on it 7. The comment just had way to many !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and sent the NXTLOG moderator into shock
