It lays out rules including:
2) This picture should actually look like you. Using a picture in which you appear significantly more attractive than you actually are creates confusion and disappointment.
5) Why are you smoking/drinking in your picture? It doesn't make you look cool. Also, your beverage or that plume of smoke is probably blocking your face.
6) You must have some kind of legitimate network. If you have never in your life been affiliated with any school, employer, or region of the world, question your own existence.
9) Confirm all friend requests from your school, even if you have no idea who the person requesting your friendship is.
12) Don't edit your own wall, it makes you look like a loser.
13) Fake relationships can be confusing for those not in on the joke. Make sure your interested in status does not match your fake relationship.
14) Don’t over-poke. Poking is the lowest form of facebook communication. Poking an actual friend once can be a nice thinking of you but poking a stranger ten times is not ok. If you’re trying to flirt, suck it up and send a message.
Its interesting how upset people seem to get about this. For instance, one woman posts on the group page:
"hi to you all..this is my gripe...facebookers who do not reply...i post something on a wall...& i get no reply..if i say "hi" to that person in the street...they wouldn't walk straight past without answering...would they??.."
This is another example of social norms developing along with new technology.
