Its nice to hope that people have common sense, but its difficult to remember if you're upset.Also this might be a nice guide for newbies looking to see what it is a good and not a good thing to do.To start off:1. Always let people know when you're going to be unavailable for posting.2. Always follow the rules the GM gives out, even if you don't agree.  Its okay to tell the GM that, but in the end it is the GM's game and her/his final decision.  If you don't like it, don't play it.3. Resolve player disputes in email and do not post them on the boards.  Basically if you don't have something nice/polite to say, don't say it.  Its okay to disagree and criticize.4.  Be careful of the language you use.   What may seem ok to you maybe be offensive to someone else.  Keep in mind that this is a multicultural community.  My suggestion is to keep it as neutral as possible unless you know the person and know it is ok for them.5. Refrain from personal attacks...even if you try to do it subtly.umm...any more etiquette thoughts?</blockquote>
