By Mark Twain
Once upon a time, there was a young man who decided to join a virtual community. He thought it would be a great way to make new friends and learn new things.
However, he soon found out that there were rules to follow, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. He started posting all sorts of random things, and he didn’t even bother to read the guidelines before doing so.
The rest of the members in the community were not amused. They tried to explain the rules to him, but he just didn’t seem to understand. So they came up with a clever plan to teach him a lesson.
They decided to create a virtual avatar for him, and they gave it the most outrageous outfit they could think of. Everyone else in the community was dressed in smart business suits, but his avatar was wearing a clown costume with a red wig and a brightly coloured nose.
They then sent him a message that said, “Welcome to the community! Please make sure you follow the rules from now on!”
Needless to say, he learned his lesson and he started following the rules from that day forward.

John had just recently joined the local community center and was excited to meet new people and get involved with the activities there. Little did he know, the community center had some very strict rules about proper behavior - and John was about to learn the hard way.
John was eager to make a good impression, so he decided to join in on the weekly potluck. He showed up with a dish he’d made himself, a dish that was definitely unique and delicious, but it was also a bit too spicy for some of the more conservative members of the community.
John was quickly reprimanded for not adhering to the potluck rules, and he was even asked to leave. He was embarrassed, but also determined to do better next time.
So the next week, when John showed up to the potluck, he was determined to follow the rules and make a better impression. He had even gone so far as to make two dishes, one that was mild and one that was spicy, just in case.
Unfortunately, John had forgotten to bring a bowl or plate to serve his dishes with, so he ended up serving them from the potluck table - in his shoes. Everyone was a bit taken aback, but they had to admit that the dishes were pretty tasty.
John had definitely made an impression - but not the one he had been hoping for. He had certainly learned his lesson - never break the rules of the community center!
Write a parable about a person coming into a virtual community and not following the rules. The story is set in the modern world and doesn’t directly mention forums or online communites.
By Stephen King
Once upon a time, there was a small town. The town was known for its tight-knit community and everyone in the town was well-respected by their neighbors.
One day, a stranger came to town and he was immediately noticed. He seemed strange and out of place, but he was welcomed into the community. He was given a warm welcome and the people of the town were eager to get to know him.
At first, the stranger fit in well with the community and everyone was happy to have him around. But it soon became clear that the stranger was not following the rules. He was rude to people, he didn’t show respect to his neighbors, and he was always trying to do things his own way.
The people of the town soon became angry and frustrated with the stranger. They tried to talk to him and explain why his behavior was inappropriate, but he wouldn’t listen. He continued to do his own thing and he refused to change his ways.
Finally, the people of the town had enough. They decided to kick the stranger out and not let him back in. They were sad to see him go, but they knew it was for the best. It was a lesson to everyone that rules are important, and that if you don’t follow them, you won’t be welcomed into the community.
One more to show the range of style with a simple prompt change!
Write a thriller story about a person coming into the playground and just started shouting without following the rules. Make it a parable for new users to online communities.
By James Patterson
It was a quiet evening in the small suburban park. Kids were playing in the playground, and parents were watching from the benches, enjoying the pleasant summer air. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness. It was a man, wearing a hood and carrying a backpack. He strode purposefully into the playground, and then he started shouting.
“This is my playground! I’m going to do what I want, and nobody can stop me!” His voice echoed through the park, and the parents stopped their conversations and looked around, confused and a little scared. The kids stopped playing and looked at the stranger in alarm.
The man continued to shout and make outrageous demands, ignoring the rules of the playground and disregarding the parents’ attempts to calm him down. He seemed determined to disrupt the peace and order of the park, and no one could stop him.
This strange scene was a parable for new users to online communities. Just like the man in the park, these users often come into the online space and act without adhering to the established rules. They may make demands, be rude, or even be threatening. They may disrupt the conversations, the activities, and the sense of safety that exists in the online world.
In the end, the man in the park had to be escorted out by the police, but the lesson remained. For online communities to be successful and safe, everyone must take responsibility for their actions and follow the rules. Any user who fails to do so will be dealt with accordingly.
