Discipline 8: Career & Professionalism — Lesson 4 of 12
Lecturer: Rachel Osborn

The post you regret was never about the platform. It was about the moment you posted it in. This session covers deciding posting rules before a bad night happens, never replying to a critic in the moment, and getting a second pair of eyes on anything posted after a controversial match.

The three rules

1. Decide the rules early.
2. Never reply in the moment.
3. Get a second pair of eyes.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
