Editor's Notes

  • #6 1. Spell Check: Spell check and proofread all internet correspondence.2. No All Caps: Please refrain from using all capital letters in internet correspondence. This can be interpreted as shouting. Remember, the user reading your message is a real person. Be polite.3. Tell the Truth: You should always tell the truth Online.4. Be Yourself: Be yourself Online. You are not anonymous Online and other users are real people, too. Do not say or do things Online that you would not do in reality. Your Online image is important. Don't ruin it by being someone you're not.5. Do not flame: Refrain from posting or responding to inflammatory material, or flames on the Internet, because they are uncivilized. A flame is a personal insult communicated through the Internet. If you witness an instance of flaming, report it to an adult.
