Netiquette
Example 1
When interacting with others online use good “netiquette” such as:
- Check the discussion frequently and respond appropriately and on subject
- Focus on one subject per message and use pertinent subject titles
- Capitalize words only to highlight a point or for titles – capitalizing otherwise is generally viewed as SHOUTING!
- Be professional and careful with your online interaction
- Cite all quotes, references and sources
- When posting a long message, it is generally considered courteous to warn readers at the beginning of the message that it is a lengthy post
- It is considered extremely rude to forward someone else’s messages without their permission
- It is fine to use humor, but use it carefully. The absence of face-to-face cues can cause humor to be misinterpreted as criticism or flaming (angry, antagonistic criticism). Feel free to use emoticons such as J or ;) to let others know you’re being humorous
