The joys of proper netiquette

SixOfSpades · 04-03-2005, 04:19 PM

Greetings all!

I am researching the niceties of proper manners when communicating over the Internet, and am looking for examples of what does....and does not constitute proper behavior. So if you know of any sites (especially if you can provide links, URLs, or quote the text outright) that show interesting use of leetspeek, smilies, weird abbreviations, capitalization protocols, etc., and then how these conventions are recieved by those people to whom they were directed, I shall love you. And in a week's time I shall post the most entertaining results, along with a few ones that I dug up and happen to be particularly hilarious.

Gracias in advance!

My favorite instances of leetspeek come from random screenshots of games. They're just a clip of what they were 'talking' about, and it's usually a mixture of offensive, aggressive, and completely nuts lol.

I deliberately set myself up for these sort of comments you know.

okies..you asked for it...

you'll find some interesting, however never wanted to be known by men, abbreviations in the abbreviation explanations on the community boards at www.babycenter.com go to the site, go to community and open up a list of bulliten boards, off to the left in a blue side bar should be some links, one of which will lead to the abbreviations page.

at least two things you don't want to know- CM and AF

krunchy, that pic is definitely going in my project. Thankee. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The smilies and abbreviations were nice, RevRuby, but I'm looking for how they are used in communication with other(s) on the Net. Specifically, I'm trying to find examples of how one should or should NOT interact. For example, a standard rule of netiquette is to always lurk for a bit before you post something, and don't wildly deviate from the accepted standard of communication. That rule was broken recently here on Ironworks, and the (in)famous "Yo dizzle" thread is the result.
