Proper Netiquette and You

Netiquette (short for "network etiquette" or "Internet etiquette") is a set of social conventions that facilitate interaction over networks, ranging from Usenet and mailing lists to blogs and forums. However, like many Internet phenomena, the concept and its application remain in a state of flux, and vary from community to community. The points most strongly emphasized about USENET netiquette often include using simple electronic signatures, and avoiding multiposting, cross-posting, off-topic posting, hijacking a discussion thread, and other techniques used to minimize the effort required to read a post or a thread.

Let's examine the core rules of "netiquette", shall we?

Rule 1: Remember the Human

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life

Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace

Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online

Rule 6: Share expert knowledge

Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control

Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy

Rule 9: Don't abuse your power

Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes

When browsing the "web" let's all try to remember that we are talking to people and not computers. Always remember to be courteous and practice proper "netiquette" when sending "e-mails" or posting in "chat rooms". Following these simple rules can help avoid misunderstandings like this:

    Don't worry Dangerous, I am sure Stale is just "flaming" you. One of our lovely moderators will "ban" him soon enough.

    Usually, if you feel that cursing in some form is required, it's preferable to use amusing euphemisms like "effing" and "sugar." You may also use the classic asterisk filler -- for example, s***. The archness is somehow appropriate to the net, and you avoid offending anyone needlessly.

    I feel like my keyboard would really hurt if I hit someone with it. More than the average keyboard, it is weight and feels sturdy.

    dont confuse the effort it would take you to swing it with the amount of hurting you could do with it

    I'm going to teach my offspring proper netiquette by instilling them with a smug sense of superiority over their peers.

    I may also register them preemptively on all major internet forums when they're born so they can use their regdate to lord over everyone else.

    Thanks

    Someone said they wanted me to reincarnate into an ant so that they can crush me under their heel in another life

    Mexican Lizard Fucker was pretty great

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7xH72dFySg

    This was recited by memory to me after a match

    Someone said "Zen I want you to sit on your monk pole and rotate" which made me giggle

    I like taking a fatherly tone with the slur-spewing teenagers on XBox Live. I call them "young man" and ask what their mother would think to hear them talk like that. This has two desired effects, it either sets them back a bit and makes them shut up (or laugh and shut up) or it gets them SUPER ANGRY which is just as good.

    I always remain polite.

    I'm not mad at you son, just disappointed.

    The first rule about nettiquite is that no one can talk about nettiquite.

    The second rule is everybody is gay and they are all welcome and to be respected.
