Etiquette and manners while online?

an angel · 13-11-2009, 09:24 PM

How do you feel about online etiquette?

Do you think it's perfectly fine to be rude and insulting to people on here, or should you be as polite on here as you are (or ought to be) in real life?

Edit: Oops, I was going to make a poll too...

I think you should just talk online the way you'd talk to someone in person.

William · 13-11-2009, 09:26 PM

You should be yourself, nothing else

can't you make a poll?

well answering you, i behave here as i behave in real life, i'm polite with people (even with people that may not deserve that).

remind you that as there are polite people, there are rude people in real life too.

one thing about the forum is that I usually skip "hello" unlike in real life... except I wish it was that way in real life.... If by manners you mean formality, etc... saying hello.... asking how someone is doing or about the situation.... I don't like to use that often on a forum....

but I value people's words equally on a forum as I do in real life. I'm not going to be more or less rude. How I act on a forum should reflect how I truly feel..... which is usually just random

By manners I mean being a nice person and not constantly insulting people.

I don't think I can make a poll now, because I have to check some box before I post the thread, and I forgot to do that...

EmmaLouiseSmyth · 13-11-2009, 09:34 PM

I would agree with the be yourself statement

You shouldn't be untrue to who you are, someone will like you and your ways.
... unless you're a total bitch in real life and there's no hope in people liking you

Josh42 · 13-11-2009, 09:37 PM

Just like in real life, I only give respect to those who deserve it.

the_gloaming09 · 13-11-2009, 09:52 PM

I think that you should just treat others the same way that you would in real life, but perhaps even pay more attention to what you say. I know that it is really easy to get miscommunication online because you can't tell by a person's tone.

MrMagpie · 13-11-2009, 09:53 PM

YOU CAN'T SEE MY WORDS IN REAL LIFE TO TELL IF THEY R IN CAPS LOCK OR NOT.

A lot of people are ****s. I'm amazing.

an angel · 13-11-2009, 09:57 PM

I think I'm nicer online than I am in real life. Sure I've said rude things on here every now and then, but I'm not super friendly in real life... not that I'm mean, I'm just very reserved.

I bet kelsie is not that pervy in real life
