A really nice summary of all things Steemit can now be found at www.steemithelp.net. There you can find all kinds of information on how Steemit works. Everything from the signing up process, to navigating the platform, learning the basics, posting and curating, an introduction to other tools complementary to the eco-system, etc. etc, this truly is an amazing website and I encourage everyone to take a look.
It also has a quite good overview of the Steemit etiquette. And even though that etiquette is well eloquently written there, I feel that the accounts that are not conforming to this etiquette will probably never read that in the first place. So here's a summary, a little more blunt, in Game of Thrones style:
Don't post and run
Don't over-post
DON'T POST NUDITY OR GRAPHIC IMAGERY UNLESS YOU TAG IT WITH NSFW
Don't be a fake, plagiarise or pass off others' work as your own
Don't engage in tag spamming
Don't re-steem everything you see
Don't post unrelated links in the comments
Don't directly ask for votes
So what do you think? Are there important parts of Steemit etiquette still missing? Hope to hear from you in the comments!
I liked this. I have a question maybe you can answer for me. Why do people resteem tons of stuff? I understand sharing something you like, but is there some kind of value from resteeming everything?
As far as I understand it, re-steeming is the ultimate upvote. Maybe you get a percentage of curation rewards from upvotes that stem from your re-steem. But it should only be done when you really want your followers to see the particular post, because you think it's brilliant or exceptional in another way.
But I've unfollowed people for re-steeming nearly every trending post, because their blogs became unreadable.
For now, my own policy is to never re-steem, I've got a certain style to my blog, and I don't want to disrupt that. I hope that one day my blogs become so good, that after reading one, you'll want to read the next...

I checked your post, great article man, commented there!
Thank you very much!!! I appreciate the support :):)
Very useful for a beginner like me ! Even though I am not into Game of Thrones. I prefer Game of Genomes ;-)
How cool is that! I've never heard of Game of Genomes, just checked that out.
And now I'm wondering why the logo of the Jackson Laboratory seems so incredibly similar to Steemit's...
