Digital Etiquette

Watch sending to multiple recipients.

Don't send a personal message to a group of recipients.

Avoid humor.

Some people might not understand the joke at all, so you could use emoticons instead.

Pay attention to language issues.

Improper, inappropriate or bad language may get a participant kicked out or permanently banned from a forum or group.

Do not capitalize everything!

It seems like yelling.

Reply quickly.

People will expect to receive a reply within a day.

Think before posting.

What is posted on line today, may come back and haunt you tomorrow.

Watch criticism because it is hard to interpret people's mind over the Internet.

Sometimes people mean to say something else.

Obey copyrights law.

Do not steal!
