NETIQUETTE

NETIQUETTE

There are some rules that apply all over the Net, and they should be observed

in 4D as well. Generally these are rules about normal behaviour and courtesy.

You should behave towards others on the net in the same way as you would face

to face. You are not as anonymous as you might think, and extremely bad

behaviour can leave to consequences regarding your access to the Mud and even

to your server provider getting notified.

Some things are a bit special for the net, and should be observed for your own

sake:

• USING ALL CAPS, LIKE THIS, is interpreted as screaming and considered

  very impolite.

• Using an excessive amount of !!!!! or ???? is also interpreted as screaming

  and considered very childish.

• Excessive and repeated use of socials can be very irritating for other

  people and should be avoided. If you want to check out what some socials do,

  go to a private room and test on a friend.

• Some socials, especially those of a sexual nature, can be offensive to the

  receiver. If you are told to stop kissing or groping someone, you'd better

  do so immediately. Sexual harassment is no more fun on line than it is in

  the real world.
