Can someone please provide me either a link or a list of some good reposting rules for FAcebook?  I notice some reposting of exact content that doesn’t seem to be giving credit to the original owner and before I give anyone some pointers on online etiquette I thought I should be sure I have the facts. 

I have been teaching that you should either “share” which shows from whom you are sharing or give credit to the originator via @ and perhaps even thank them which of course, post your name on their page publicly recognizing their good post ( and doesn’t hurt you if you are using it for biz).

Is there a good set of reposting rules that I might use as a guide and to share with others in my classes?

Thanks

I don’t have a set of rules,  @vembraholnagel – I think most of us are making this up as we go LOL.  But you can see the “Shares” directly on the post itself.  So you know who is sharing your Facebook posts.  I sometimes reference the person who originally posted in the comment but when someone shares from a Facebook post, the Page name shows up there to give “credit”

But sometimes I find people sharing my posts in different ways and I don’t really mind because it goes back to my blog.  Or sometimes I see the same photo or  link that doesn’t go to my blog shared soon after I’ve shared it and I don’t really know if someone is just copying what I’m sharing or just happened to find it at the same time.  Again, I don’t mind too much since giving credit to someone for sharing another 3rd party piece of content doesn’t make that much sense to me.  But I do know sometimes that people do give credit (like thanks @AndreaVahl for finding this link or helpful post)  I always think that is a nice thing to do but not totally necessary.  
What are others thoughts?  Anyone else have some sharing etiquette do’s and don’ts?

@vembraholnagel Thanks for starting this thread.  I agree that it’s important to ackknowledge those whose work you are sharing and I see how this can apply to other social media avenues also.  I will certainly pay more attention to this in the future when I am reposting.

@vembraholnagel I’m actually writing an ebook on Facebook etiquette. Good to know I’m not the only one who thinks about this stuff : )

@andrea-vahl I think it is good practice to acknowledge the source when you re-post a shared article but I agree, not necessary in every circumstance. I try to but sometimes I forget.
