Digital Etiquette

Obey copyrights law.

Do not steal!

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

Sometimes people mean to say something else.

Think before posting.

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

Reply quickly.

People will expect to receive a reply within a day.

Do not capitalize everything!

It seems like yelling.

Pay attention to language issues.

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

Avoid humor.

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

Watch sending to multiple recipients.

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