• Remember you are talking to other human beings who have feelings and if you say nasty things you could hurt them - more than you think
• Behave online the way you would if you were talking to someone in real life - don't be rude or aggressive.
• Know where you are in cyberspace - don't insult goths and emos here!
• Don't waste other people's time. Try not to bore other people with your rants and whines.
• Make yourself look your best, check your spelling, make sure what you say makes sense.
• Share your knowledge, if someone has a question you know the answer to - answer it!
• Keep flame wars under control, be friendly, be polite, smooth over differences.
• Respect other people's privacy. Don't try to break into their accounts or pester them if your attention isn't wanted.
• Don't abuse your power. Knowing more than others doesn't give you the right to take advantage of them.
• Forgive other people's mistakes. Don't make them look stupid or humiliate them, if it's important, let them know, preferably by private email.
