Comment Etiquette

AirAboveWater is the largest community of jumpers on the planet. There are thousands of jumpers on the site from over 200 countries around the globe who jump and want whats best for cliff jumping. At AirAboveWater we are constantly working to elevate the quality of our site and hope you can help by elevating the quality of your posts and comments. When commenting, try to follow the guidelines below and respect your fellow jumpers, we all share the same love for the sport.

Explain your criticism

Disagree with or dislike a photo, video or article? Feel free to get it off your chest, but explain your reasoning as thoroughly as you can. Think about how your comment can help the person who posted the content. Comments like ‘lame’, ‘its ugly’ or ‘this sucks’ don’t add anything productive to the conversation and will be deleted. Try to be positive and helpful whenever possible and just remember, if you have nothing nice to say, it’s probably best to keep it to yourself.

Read before commenting

Before asking a question that seems obvious, read the comments as it’s probably already been asked. If you want to know what the song in the video is, look around, it has probably already been answered.
Read your comment before clicking submit. Review what you wrote, check your spelling and grammar. Does it make sense?

Share the jump

AirAboveWater was created with the motto ‘Share the Jump site’. The purpose of the site is to help jumpers find new jump sites and educate people in cliff jumping. So try to help out your fellow jumpers if they seek help; even if the question seems really basic to you. Everyone started somewhere, don’t be disrespectful. And, please-do not send us a video or photo and tell us it’s a private jump site. We WILL find it or someone else will send it in!
