People forget there online manners alittle etiquette helps. As the tone and protocols of the Internet change so does etiquette. Usually, however, it's still based on the premise of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life.

Etiquette Do's and Dont's
There is no accepted rule of thumb for how conversations should be conducted over the Internet. While many people are happy with the idea of complete freedom of expression, it can sometimes lead into an "anything goes" attitude where profanities, slander and outright lies fill the airwaves. With the international differences in class, culture and philosophy and culture, it's difficult to establish a set of universal norms and perceptions. Nevertheless, there are some basic rules that all users interested in good netiquette should follow.

Don't send messages in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. This is recognized as the Internet's version of shouting. Although it will get your message noticed, it's also considered rude. When sending e-mail or posting a newsgroup message, use the standard mixture of upper and lower-case letters as if you're writing a business letter. It creates a much better image of the sender.






Check your messages and posts for proper spelling and punctuation before sending them. You may have the IQ of Einstein, but nobody else knows that on the Internet. If you constantly make spelling errors and use improper grammar and punctuation, you'll be perceived as less intelligent than you actually are.

Try to avoid sexist language and racially motivated humor. It creates a lot of ill will on chat channels and often lowers the group mentality of those on the same channel with you. Such language doesn't play well with other cultures, either. What you may think is a little joke could be taken as a major offense by someone in another country.

Think before you send a message. Remember, somebody somewhere is keeping track of all the e-mails you send and receive. A good rule to follow is that you don't send someone anything in an e-mail message that you wouldn't say to that person face-to-face. Just because a personal attack is sent out behind the security of a computer screen doesn't mean it hurts any less.

If you really feel the need to flame someone and send such a message, be prepared for the consequences. Aside from getting ignored and/or berated by other users or kicked out of a chat forum, it gives you a bad reputation among those on chat forums. Who would want to talk with someone who never has anything good to say?





* Some people (like channel operators or sysops) take particular offense at users who repeatedly send flames and have their own ways of dealing with such a situation. More experienced users, for instance, can look you up by your e-mail or IP address. If that happens, don't be surprised if you receive a bunch of nasty flame e-mails in return, or possibly something even worse, such as a homemade computer virus.

Use common sense and follow the Golden Rule. Don't do or say anything in a chat channel or e-mail message that you wouldn't want done to you. Treat the people you talk to with dignity and respect. Be courteous and polite. Respond in a timeful manner. Don't act on emotion. And be a professional.

The need for a sense of etiquette arises mostly when sending e-mail, posting a message on a newsgroup, or conversing in a chat channel. Spam is a form of electronic bulk mail, usually sent to individuals or groups identified through newsgroup postings or other e-mail lists or chat. Very few Internet users like spamming. It's impersonal, it wastes server and download time. Other Aspects of etiquette: Acronyms, Smileys, and Signatures....Listed below is just a small example of some of the acronyms (and their meanings) you may encounter in a chat room or newsgroup:
WB -- welcome back
JK -- just kidding
BTW -- by the way
LOL -- laughing out loud
IMO -- in my opinion
FYI -- for your information
BRB -- be right back





Smileys are a type of visual shorthand. They're used as a way of conveying personal emotions while sending a text message, and are almost always placed at the end of a sentence, after the punctuation mark.
Some of the more popular smileys are:
:-) Happy

:-( Sad

;-) Winking at you

X-( Mad
