This week's tip is about understanding the Internet! Once something has been posted, it shouldn't be considered something you can take back. We like to think of ourselves as careful posters, thinking about your e-reputation if you will. It is very easy, in the heat of a conversation on a thread or in a blog, to post something that at the time may seem like a witty remark to you but to someone else could make you seem like little more than a bully. Here are a few tips to better improve your netiquette.

　　1. Remember that they are human.

　　Remember the golden rule that you're told in kindergarten: Do unto others as you’d have others do unto you. Imagine how you would feel having these things said to you.

　　2. Understand where you are.

　　What is considered acceptable in SW may not be in another part of the forums. It's important to make sure you fully understand the rules before posting.

　　3. Make yourself look good online.

　　It's important to remember that it is likely you will be judged by the quality of your writing. Make sure that what you are writing about is fairly logical and is void of flame-like qualities.
