How To Behave On An Internet Forum

Internet forums are either a brilliant community where you can meet and chat with new, interesting people, or full of scornful idiots who deserve to be banned from The Net in its entirety. This film explains some of the common mistakes people make in forums, which makes them the sort of loathsome fool no one wants to know.

QUIT YELLING: All-caps look like shouting

In an attempt to get the message across, it is sometimes tempting to write text in all caps. While this is certainly useful to grab someone's attention, there are two problems with this. The first is that all-caps writing is often perceived to be shouting. While this may sometimes be the intent, it is generally inappropriate in a classroom, whether online or face-to-face, and can be taken as a breach of online etiquette. The other problem is that it is more difficult to read extended lines in all uppercase letters, and after a while they lose their effectiveness.
