COMMUNICATION

Chat Etiquette

What is Chat Etiquette?
Describes how you should act while chatting online, and how some people act wrongly-how to react to that. The following are some tips on of chat etiquette:

• Talking in caps. This is not only annoying, but perceived as yelling. Personally, I would much rather see people typing all in lower case with frequent typos and misspellings than see them type all in caps. You wouldn’t yell things in a normal conversation, would you? And if you would, I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t really enjoy conversing with you.

• Asking people for personal information, AKA A/S/L. Would you go up to a complete stranger in public and ask their precise age and where they lived? Or what their current relationship status is? I don’t know about others, but I find this to be very rude.

Forum Etiqutte

What is Forum Etiquette?

Forum etiquette means maintaining a standard of posting behavior that is acceptable and appropriate. Forum etiquette can be flexible, according to the subject of the forum, but there are certain standards most people expect others to maintain. Some lines must be drawn for the safety of all posting on the forum.

One of the staunchest rules of forum etiquette is not posting personal information about another poster. Even if that poster has all but drawn a map to his house, posting a real name or address is considered grounds for a permanent ISP ban on most forums. This could compromise someone's safety. This is probably the most serious breach of forum etiquette and most moderators take it very seriously.

Net Etiquette

Net Etiquette are the rules that have developed as people have begun to communicate and interact on the Internet. The following are some good net etiquette rules to follow:

• Before you join in a newsgroup or discussion board, always check that your questions are relevant to the group. It is a good idea to watch the conversation (in internet jargon, this is called "lurking"), before you join in. Most groups have an FAQ , (Frequently Asked Questions) list, and if there is no standard message saying where you might find this, then you can put a question to the group/list to ask where you might be able to find an FAQ list.
