The core rules of netiquette

  • Be clear. Vague messages waste time and invite misunderstandings.
  • Be kind. You can be direct without being rude.
  • Be concise. Respect people’s attention.
  • Be careful. Anything online can be copied, forwarded, or screenshotted.
  • Be fair. Critique ideas, not people. Avoid pile-ons.
