General rules for online discussion:
- Carefully read and reread responses before you send them. Proofread for errors in grammar, punctuation, and spelling as these kinds of mistakes can muddle your message and confuse the reader.
- If you are using humor or sarcasm, clearly label it as such. i.e. ―ha ha‖ or
- Know your audience. Make sure that the person(s) to whom you are sending your message are the appropriate one(s) with whom to communicate
- Avoid cluttering your message with excessive emphases (such as stars, arrows and the like). They may make the message hard to follow.
- If you are responding to a message make sure you refer to the contents of the original message.
- Be specific, especially when asking questions
- Include your name in the text of your message, as well as other contact information, such as email address or phone number for a reply. The end of the message is a good place for this information.
- When typing, use upper/lower cases appropriately. ALL CAPS gives the appearance of shouting and can seem rude.
- Just as you shouldn’t drive when you are angry, you should not send email responses when you are angry. Type a response, but do not submit it immediately. Chances are, when you reread it, you’ll be glad that you waited.
