Respect Fellow Rainers

When was the last time I visited the Active Rain Community Guidelines?  I'm sure I read them when I joined Active Rain.  Lynn B. Friedman is hosting the 2018 Blog Jumpstart Challenge.  I almost missed the 15 blogs in 25 days contest. 

Today my challenge is to share a topic from the Active Rain Community Guidelines that I find appealing or worthwhile.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I stumbled upon the Active Rain website.  At first I did not comprehend exactly what I had found.  I'm sure I read the guidelines and clicked submit and visited a few times before I noticed a few select members in the community were always available with positive words and encouragement. 

Active Rain offers a platform - similar to networking or hanging out at the water cooler ...  

Once I became a member of this community I begin to understand why these important rules were in place.  The Active Rain community is huge!  Members consist of real estate professionals, mortgage professionals, and a variety of vendors nationwide plus this platform is open to consumers.  

The ActiveRain Community Guidelines cover expected actions and respect for our industry, fair housing for consumers and general overall good behavior from all members.  This is the one rule in particular That I find Appealing
