Terkadang disaat kita masuk kesebuah wadah, baik itu kondisi dan komunitas. Pasti ada sebuah peraturan mau mengikat ataupun tidak. Dan akhirnya secara tidak langsung menjadi norma. Begitu juga di steemit, walaupun tidak ada peraturan yg mengikat tapi kalau kita telusuri di FAQ disadurkan bahwa @thecryptofiend telah mencoba membuat Etiquette Guide (petunjuk etika) dalam steemit. Karena itu bukan peraturan langsung dari steemit, bisa jadi ini telah menjadi norma di dalam dunia per-steemit-an. Apa-apa saja Etiquette Guide itu?

1. Berikan fedback dalam postingan anda
Sebagian dari kita mungkin hanya mengejar nilai dari postingan, tanpa peduli hasil apa yang didapatkan oleh pembaca tulisan kita, dan juga tidak pernah menjaga komunikasi dari komentar-komentar yg tercipta dari postingan kita

1. Don't post and run
We are all pressed for time but it but it just looks plain bad if all you ever do is post and never curate or comment on other work. In a way this could be seen as simply taking from the system without giving.

2. Jangan terlalu berlibihan dalam membuat postinga.
Mungkin dulu di BBM disaat melihat teman kita setiap saat gonta ganti status kita akan mengatakan lebay. Begitu juga di steemit. Itu akan mengganggu follower kita sendiri. Disaat mereka melihat postingan kita yg berlibihan mereka akan merasa tidak enak, padahal vote power mereka telah kritis, gak ngevote gak enak tapi kalau mau ngevote voting power habis untuk kita. Dan hal ini jua mempengaruhi insentif kita sendiri kalau ngepost lebih dari 4 postingan.

2. Don't over post
As I said most people don't have much time. Take some pity on your followers and don't post 10 times per day. Not only will less people actually take the time to read your work but you may end up annoying and losing followers. It will also reduce your payouts if you post more than 4 times a day.

3. Hindari pornografi dan pornoaksi
Selain di Indonesia sendiri akan dijerat dengan UU ITE di steemit sendiri jiga berlaku norma asusila, karena bisa jadi ada anak dibawah umur yg melihat itu.

3. Don't post nudity or graphic imagery unless you tag it with NSFW
This is important. It may be acceptable in your nation to be showing bare breasts on your work computer but it might not be the case where your reader is located.
Also your reader could be a child. Please keep this in mind. Graphic images without this tag are likely to be flagged.

4. Hindari HOAX dan Plagit
Banggalah dari hasil karya sendiri, walau itu masih jauh dari kata bagus tapi itu hasil kita sendiri, ketimbang setelah postingan dan akhirnya ketauan belangnya bahwa itu hoax atau plagiat. Itu hanya merusak reputasi kita sendiri

4. Don't be a fake, plagiarise or pass off others' work as your own
This is important. It relates to people trying to make money by impersonating others, making false claims, or stealing other people's work to claim it as their own. There is a whole community of people watching you here and you will eventually be found out. Just don't do it.
No matter how much you earn it is not worth it for the damage to your reputation.

5. Bijaklah dalam menggunakan tagging (tagar)
Di steemit postingan yg melalui web itu dibatasi 5 tag, buatlah yang benar-benar berhubungan dengan tulisan kita.

5. Don't engage in tag spamming
If your post does not directly relate to a particular tag you shouldn't be using it. A post about trumpets that just happens to have a photo of a trumpet in it should not be tagged with "photography", similarly a post discussing DASH is fine in "cryptocurrency" but should not be tagged with "ethereum". Tag spamming annoys people and rather than getting you extra upvotes is likely to get you a flag.

6. Bijaklah dalam melakukan resteem
Ini salah satu yg saya alami sendiri, ada beberapa id yang menjual jasa resteem untuk meningkatkat upvote user yg mentransferkan sbd atau steem. Disaat kita menjadi pengikutnya, maka wall kita akan penuh dengan resteem mereka. Ini kecuali steemit melakukan perbedaan tab atau halam untuk postingan dan resteem itu akan sedikit membantu.

6. Don't resteem everything what you see
This goes hand in hand with overposting. The re-steem feature is great. It's new and shiny and a different way to share but please be conscious of your followers. Unless they are only following you, you have to assume that their feed has other re-steemed material in it. Further just because YOU like a subject DOESN'T mean that they do. Just be polite and only re-steem limited numbers of posts that you are sure others will like.

7. Jangan tampilkan link di kolom komentar yang tidak berhungan dengan postingan.
Mungkin sebagian orang berpikir ini salah satu aksi promosi, tapi tidak bagi si author dan curator lain. Itu akan dianggap spaming. Ada tempat tertentu yg bisa menerima tondakan itu, seperti di komunitas atau postingan-postingan tertentu. Gunakan itu!

7. Don't post unrelated links in comments
This is considered link spamming. We all understand that you took great pride in your post but if your link is not related to the direct conversation and seems to be there purely to promote your own work then it looks bad. You are at risk of getting flagged and it is unlikely people will appreciate what you are doing. There is a great chat channel for promoting your links as well as a forum section - put it there.

8. Jangan meminta untuk mengevote dikolom komentar.
Jangan buat anda terlihat hina dimata yang lain, mungkin meminta untuk mengunjungi postingan kita masih bisa diterima tapi meminta untuk divote, ini lebih parah. Jangan lakukan itu.

8. Don't directly ask for votes
This is similar to posting unrelated links. Asking for votes is fine if it is in the post promotion channel but it should be done indirectly by posting a link i.e. it is bad form to ask someone directly for a vote. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking if people have seen your post but directly asking them to vote for it is rather unfair and goes against the spirit of proper curation. It may also make some people feel uncomfortable for this very reason.

9. Vote sesuai hati nurani.
Jangan lakukan vote kesemua postingan dengan harapan anda akan mendapatkan timbal balik. Lakukanlah vote sesuai selera anda, kalau tidak suka dengan kontennya buat apa anda ngevote?

9. Don't expect reciprocal votes
If you are voting purely for the purposes of getting more votes then you are doing it wrong. You should only vote for content you like and should not expect people to vote for you just because you voted for them - it removes the whole point of curation. Further people may take offense to your expectation as it indirectly implies you did not like their content but only voted for reciprocation.

10. Jangan memanfaatkan postingan untuk uang cash
Mungkin ada postingan postingan yg menceritakan kesusahan orang lain lalu meminta uang cash untuk disalurkan, kalau untuk beramal itu sangat baik tapi kalau untuk masuk kantung kita? Ini penipuan namanya.

10. Don't bribe people for votes, re-steems, follows or ask directly for money
This is fairly easy to understand. It is likely to get you flagged as well as potentially annoying others. Plus once people have followed you there is no guarantee they will keep doing it. So you will just be wasting your money AND ruining your reputation. I have also heard of people asking directly for cash - this may be OK in the case of charitable causes but NOT when the charitable cause is your own wallet. It looks bad and will also damage your reputation.

11. Jangan gunakan steem anda untuk mendapat perhatian steemians.
Tapi inilah yang terjadi, bagi pemula harus merogoh kantung steem atau sbdnya untuk mendapatkan perhatian atau upvote siraksasa.

11. Don't use the wallet to get attention
The Steem wallet allows people to send messages. Unfortunately people have recently been using it to send out tiny amounts of Steem as a means of advertising themselves or their posts. Don't do it you will waste your money and annoy a lot of people.

12. Jangan gunakan @all di chat room
Bagi yg menggunakan steemit chat atau discord, mohon perhatiakan ini. @all ini akan menotifikasi semua anggota chat, dan disaat hal yg disampaikan tidak berhubungan maka itu sangat mengganggu.

12. Don't ever use @all in chat
This pings everyone and is very annoying. There does seem to be a solution in the works that will remove the ability to do this so hopefully this will not be a problem for long.

13. Jangan melakukan chat privat terhadap user yg tidak mengenal anda.
Di steemit chat sebagian user melakukan hal ini untuk dapat berkomunikasi dengan whale atau dengan user dengan sp tinggi. Lebih baik izin dulu di room chat apakah bisa melakukan privat chat?

13. Don't direct message people you don't know in the chat.
I have seen lots of people doing this particularly to whales and people with higher SP. It is understandable but it is also an intrusion on people's privacy and hardly polite. Don't do it unless someone has explicitly said they are OK with it (e.g. reporting abuse to Steemcleaners etc.) or you have another really good reason - just sharing your post is not good enough.

14. Jangan gunakan bendera disaat anda tidak setuju.
Kita tau ada tool kecil disebalah kanan yg berbentuk bendera, itu biasa digunakan untuk menandakan konten yg tidak layak, bukan untuk ketidak setujuan anda ttg yg disampaikan

14. Don't flag content just because you disagree or don't like it
This is a big issue and I'm sure some people will disagree with it but I think the majority of the community agrees that the flag issue is for posts which are harmful or abusive and should not be used as a dislike or downvote button. Don't like something? Post a comment explaining why or if you can't be bothered to do that or don't have the time move on.

15. Jangan mejadi stalker.
Sudah menjadi lumrah di starup starup lain seperti facebook, instagram, bahkan whatsapp sekarang bisa stalker. Suka sih boleh tapi terus membayang-bayangi si target itu malah menakutkan. Jantan dikit donk. Tembak langsung kalau ditolak ya terima, jangan dukun bertidak.

15. Don't be a stalker or a troll
Some time ago there was a particular user who was deliberately going after female members of the community in a distinctly unsavoury way. People may think this is acceptable online but I personally think it is disgusting and reprehensible behaviour. Luckily the reputation system can help by silencing these people but we also need to make it clear that we won't accept it as a community. Further any activity bordering on criminality is particularly stupid since it is recorded in the blockchain. It should also go without saying that general trolling behaviour will not help your reputation either.

16. Janganlah menggunakan kalimat yang melecehkan wanita.
Mari kita membangun steemit ramah terhadap gender, jauhi komentar komentar yang membuat user wanita merasa tidak nyaman. Hormati wanita karena ibu, saudari dan anak perempuan kita adalah berkelaminkan wanita.

16. Keep the adolescent remarks to yourself.
I have noticed a few users making the kind of remarks on images of women that are quite immature and frankly I would expect from a 13 year old boy. I know these aren't necessarily done with any malice but we as a community need to be a friendly and inviting place for women and I don't think it is particularly helpful. You as a man may find it funny but I'm not sure a woman would - imagine if it was your mother reading your comments.

17. Jangan bermental sinetron.
Semua kita memiliki permasalahan kehidupan sendiri sendiri. Dan jangan merasa diri kita ini paling sial kehidupan kita dan membawanya dalam steemit. Ingat! Jika kita merasa ujian yg kita hadapi lebih berat dari yang lain, berarti kemampuan kita lebih dari yang lain. ALLAH tidak menguji hambanya melebihi kemampyannya.

17. Don't be a drama queen
We all have bad days and we have all been complete arseholes from time to time but the best thing to do is deal with it in an adult way. There have been a number of people who have instead proceeded to have a complete meltdown and create all kinds of unnecessary drama. This never looks good and you will only embarass yourself in the long run - particularly since it is stored in the blockchain to remind you forever.

18. Berkomunitaslah untuk kebaikan.
Memang tidak dipungkiri dalam steemit sangat membutuhkan jaringan. Tapi disaat sekelompok melakukan persekusi di steemit ini malah tidak menyehatkan steemit.

18. Don't go on witch-hunt
This is not new but seems to be happening more lately. People are ganging up on each other in a way which I don't think is really helpful. I think it is fine to point out problems or inequalities when you see them but unless someone is specifically doing something malicious I think this can only serve to make Steemit less friendly and inviting to people. It is particularly striking when multiple people seem to go on the offensive against a single person.

19. Hindari postingan yang menimbulkan perdebatan
Masih banyak conten yang kontruktif untuk dipilih, hindari keadaan yg menimbulkan debat kusir.

19. Don't make it personal/Don't make argumentative posts
Maybe it is because I'm English but I don't think it is polite to do an entire post focussing on a single person without first discussing it with them and trying to resolve the situation person to person. If you want to call out certain kinds of behaviours it might be more productive to do so in a more general manner so people don't feel that they are being singled out. If you go after a particular person all that will ensue is an argument that will continue to escalate and make everyone look bad.

20. Kritis boleh tapi ada etikanya
Jangan melakukan kritikan yang membuat orang lain rendag diri, berikan kritikan yang membangun dengan kata-kata yang sopan. Dan juga jangan anti kritik.

20. Don't critique people's work unless they have asked you to.
I normally ask for people's opinions on my work and I am fine with criticism (although even I have feelings) but just because someone has posted their work up does not mean that you should start critiquing it if you don't like it. Not all people are thick skinned about things and I have seen a few cases of people demolishing another person's work in a distinctly unpleasant way. Also if someone has asked for a critique keep it polite and constructive. If you are not able to do that move on.

21. Jangan gengsi untuk menggunakan kata "maafkan saya".
Tidak ada orang yang sempurna dan tidak ada orang yang selalu benar, jika anda yang memulai meminta maaf maka orang akan lebih respek kepada anda.

21. Do admit when you are wrong /Do apologise.
I had an old teacher at school who used to say that it takes both honesty and bravery to admit you are wrong. We tend to like to pretend we are always right even when we are not. People are generally forgiving and if you have been an idiot just own up to it and apologise. People will respect you more for it.

22. Maafkanlah makan anda akan jauh dari strees.
Memaafkan itu sangat sulit sampai ada sebuah pepatah "forgiven but forgotten", semestinya memaafkan itu juga melupakan, kalau belum melupakan berarti belum memaafkan.

22. Do forgive people.
This is the other side of apologising. We all screw up and we all make mistakes. If someone has apologised and is trying to make amends please give them another chance. Holding grudges not only harms the other party, but it harms you and the community as a whole. It can also make you look petty and immature. Part of being an adult is accepting the failings of others as well as our own. As I said earlier "to err is human".

23. Piknik terkadang diperlukan.
Hidup kita bukan seputar steemit. Jika telah jengah dan banyak hal tidak mengenakkan kita dapatkan di steemit, tutup laptop ajak istri dan anak piknik. Itu akan memancing ide ide baru untuk dituangkan di steemit.

23. Do take a step back
In keeping with the previous few points sometimes it helps to take a step away from your computer and do something different to help you regain perspective. If you are getting into a lot of arguments and conflict give yourself some time away and reflect on things.

24. Balaslah komrntar di postingan anda
Ini cara lain untuk membangun komunikasi di steemit dengan user yang lain. Membalas komentar dapat memabngun reputasi anda di mata user lain.

24. Do answer your comment
If people have taken the time to make a comment on your post you should at least take the time to read them and in appropriate cases reply to them. It is understood that if you have a lot of comments you can't always answer them all, however, ignoring your comments could be considered being ungrateful.

25. Bantu dan berteima kasih kepada yang lain.
Tidak semua user punya pemahaman yang sama, terkadang ada user yg punya kendala dan pertanyaan, jika anda melihat itu jadilah yang pertama untuk membantu mereka dan berteima kasihlah kepada yg suka membantu.

25. Do help others out and do thank people.
A lot of us know cryptocurrencies and are familiar with the concepts. That does not apply to everyone on Steemit. Everyone has to start somewhere and if you find someone who needs help or has a question don't wait for someone else to act - help them out yourself if you can. That is a fundamental of a good community. Also don't forget to thank people and pass on the good will.

26. Sebarkan ke jagat dunia maya.
Jika menemukan postingan yang sangat bagus, sebarkanlah! Share twitter, linkedin, facebook agar cityzen tau di steemit ada author yg berkualitas.

26. Do share great posts.
There are links at the bottom of every post that allowing sharing on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Be a good citizen and help to spread good content by sharing it on other social networks and also posting links in the "postpromotion-other-only" chat channel. This not only helps out the poster but helps to spread the word about Steemit by showing people what great content is available. Steemit should not just be "every person for himself/herself".

27. Berikan perhatian kepada new post.
Jangan hanya melihat umpan dari yang kita follow saja, atau yg lagi trend sekali kali main di new post.

27. Do check out new posts and curate.
There are many new people joining Steemit every day. Unfortunately it is hard to get noticed. Please try to spend at least some of your time looking at new posts rather than just being on your own feed or the trending page. Not only do you have the prospect of discovering a new hidden gem and making a new user feel appreciated, but you could also be rewarded much more handsomely for the curation. This also applies to the chat, if you are expecting other people to look at and curate the links you post it makes sense that you should take a look at other people's posts too.

28. Bertanggung jawab terhadap flag.
Jika postingan anda di hampiri oleh cheeta atau ditandai flag, gunakan hak jawab anda jangan pasrah.

28. Do always comment when you flag a post and go back and check it.
I think simple courtesy dictates that if you flag a post you should tell the poster why.Obviously if the reason has already been posted by other people this becomes less necessary. You should also go back and check to see if the content has been verified or the poster has complied with the reasons for the flag and if so remove your flag. Simply flagging and vanishing is not really fair.

29. Berikan verifikasi
Ini berkaitan dengan point no.4. Terkadang sangat perlu meverifikasi disaat anda dicap hoax atau plagiat dan buatlah orang percaya kepada anda disaat anda di tandai hoax atau plagiat
Ada postingan bagus dari @reneenouveau untuk penjelasan lebih rinci.

29. Do provide verification
This is relevant to point 4 but I have placed it here because I wanted to put all the "do" suggestions together. Unfortunately as often happens in life dishonest people have made it harder to trust those who are posting on Steemit. You don't HAVE TO verify but it may help people trust you more and get you more up-votes.There are even secure ways to do it now that allow you to maintain your anonymity. Please read this excellent post by @reneenouveau for a detailed explanation.

30. Dimana kaki berpijak disitu langit dijunjung.
Pahami aturan yang berlaku dumana anda berada, hormati kearifan lokal dimana saja bukan hanya disteemit maka anda akan diterima dengan tangan terbuka.

30. Do always read the rules for the chat channel you are posting in.
This goes without saying. Read the rules of the channel before you post. I think mistakes are bound to happen, when they do, apologise and delete your post. If you persistently break the rules you will likely end up permanently muted and unable to post.

itulah etika yang mungkin bisa membuat kita lebih nyaman dalam berkomunitas disteemit. Terimakasi tela berkunjung ke blog, jangan lupa voteup dan resteem kalau ini bermanfaat. salam
