[Brian J. R.]

Do set a good example for others. If other's see that you are being kind to the newbies, they will do the same.

Do remember, Chief Delphi is a helpful place. It has gotten me out of a pickle more then once. Be a kind, understanding, helpful person. You will get it in return.

As Big Mike said, they are just dots. But do pay attention to what people say when they give you reputation. If it is good reputation, keep doing what you are doing. If you get red dots, that means that you are not acting as would be expected of a FIRSTer. Remember, this is not a typical forum, this is a resource, contribute to it as if you where taking to the person face to face.

Do constructively criticize. It helps everyone out to be told, in a professional manner that is, that their ideas can be improved upon.

Above all, Do remember Gracious Professionalism. It is the lens we all view each other through.

If anyone disagrees with me or wants to add to my thoughts feel free, I love constructive criticism.
