Hellooo Denizens of GD! :)

Does anyone remember this thing called Netiquette :p

I remember back in the good old days of dial-up 14.4k modems these was a certain set of rules on how to behave when online and posting in bulletin boards and early forums but this seems to have gone to hell! :D

Do any of you use Netiquette anymore or? :cool:
 
I'm finding the lack of netiquette in the technical forums is diminishing it as a technical resource i.e a lot of threads tend to get hijacked and taken off topic! :p

That's not so bad if you follow the thread as it rolls out but for anyone with a genuine technical need it's a bit of a nightmare trawling through a thread looking for some nuggets of info amid the rants, flames and general thread drift! :D

Can you imagine if there was no rules/guidance to driving, once you got in your car you could do as you saw fit, pretty scary! :cool:
 
The OcUK forum uses some original netiquette for it's signature rule i.e four lines of text :)

If you have ever used a forum which doesn't have signature rules then you know how OTT some people can go! :D

Not many people like SPAM either so clearly there is some good things about Ye Old Netiquette! :cool:
