KRISSYBABYXO

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
More people should ask this question!
As has been said before me, if you don't
know an answer pass up the question.
Never be rude.
Never give advice that is illegal
or can get someone in trouble.
Never answer anyones homework questions
with the answers. For instance if it is
a math question, Use different numbers to
explain how to solve it.
Never use backgrounds that make your column
illegible.
Always use proper punctuation and English.
Do not give details on how to have sex. We
do have younger users here. We realize they
are going to have sex but we don't have to
give them every detail on how to have it.
Advice on how to prevent pregnancy and disease
is a plus whenever you can add it in.
Be cautious when answering medical type
questions. Many diseases and illnesses
share common symptoms. We aren't doctors
and there is also no need to scare someone unnecessarily. Its a good idea to encourage
people to talk to their parents or a doctor.
You will sometimes get frustrated with
seeing the same type of question over and
over again. Its normal! We all do. :)
I'm sure there is a ton of stuff I am leaving
out. Be sure and read the Help/FAQ. It has a
lot of information.
And always file an abuse report if you see
anything that doesn't seem right to you.
Someone being rude etc.

I agree that you should never tell somebody something they want to hear unless it is actually what you feel is the right thing. An advice columnist can't give good advice if they aren't actually giving advice. (If that makes sense...) That, and someone who only wants us to powder their little bottoms aren't really seeking advice.
Avoid answering questions you don't know, and can't find the answer to. If I am unsure of the answer, I research it online.
If it is something you don't feel you can give a good answer to, skip it. If you can give a good answer, but someone else has already said it, skip it unless you have something else to add.
I started my column with the intent to help others in the best way I can, and that is how I still run it. Either I use my own experiences, put myself in their shoes (and all the people involved in the question), or give them the same advice I would give my own son. Sometimes it takes research.
As a rule, folks tend to be happy with the advice I give. Sometimes, they absolutely hate me for what I have to say. It is their choice to see my point of view or not, and I always feel good knowing I gave the best answer I could give in order to help them.

Read each question carefully, think about what you are going to say, think about what would happen if they took your advice both a good and bad side, and decide on if it is the right thing for you to say. Dont say what they want to hear but say what you really feel they should do. After that you should do just fine! :)
