15/40

What does lurking mean?

Lurking is a slang term for reading a message board without

posting or engaging with the community.

Lurking is sometimes encouraged by forum moderators as a

way for new members to get a sense of the community and

etiquette before participating.

Lurking also may occur if a user simply wants to get some

information without adding to the discussion.

A person lurking on a message board or other onlinecommunity is referred to as a lurker.
