OT: Netiquette
Netiquette is the code of conduct when communicating online, whether in chat, e-mail or message
boards. Here are some netiquette tips to keep you in good favor:

Be polite. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Do not use all caps. It's considered shouting.

Do not use obscenities.

Do not use abusive, hateful or otherwise offensive language.

Use emoticons and abbreviations to convey emotion.
