聊天室礼仪 Chat Netiquette
● 做到礼貌，对聊天室新菜鸟也是一样。欢迎来到聊天室的人们，一个简单的“Hello there”，可以建立起对方对沟通的信心。
● 集中话题。如果话题是关于“足球运动”的，那么就不要乱扯你一直百试不爽的“绝妙食谱”。
● 运用一些缩写尽量让消息短小便捷。这样就省下对方不少时间拉滚动条。
● 尊重他们，即使你不同意某人的观点，告诉他们你理解，但是你有不同的想法。
● 如果你是因为对方的性别，文化，信仰，取向的原因不喜欢他，不要声张。没人喜欢听见偏执或者愤恨的想法。如果你不能尊敬别人，那么最好离开聊天室找其他的地方。
● 不要打扰其他人聊天。等别人分享完故事和想法，你再插入。
● 不要在聊天室骂人说脏话。
● 不要从一个聊天室到另外一个聊天室，尾随跟踪某人。这和在现实生活中一样讨厌。
● 不要随便把你朋友的秘密告诉别人。这样做非常没有礼貌，唯一的例外是如果你的朋友被非法侵犯或者打算自杀。那样，请悄悄话告诉聊天室的管理员。
● 不要再聊天室大喊大叫。聊天室里“大喊大叫”是指用“全用大写字母”。如果你突然变大字体，也属于大喊大叫。
● 不要诅咒别人。无需用不合适的语言来表达你的情绪。直接用网络表情符号就可以了；
● 不要用侵犯性或模棱两可的名字。这样做很可能会被踢出聊天室或者被屏蔽。这些不合适的名字包括：种族诋毁，地区中伤，性别和文化歧视，私密部位等。
● 如果你向管理员投诉某人，不要恐吓他。举个例子，不要对管理员要挟说“把Bobby踢出去，否则我和朋友们都会离开”。这样做你和Bobby很可能被管理员一起请出去。
● 不要去聊天室捣乱，把其他人赶走，然后再进另外一个。这是非常无礼的举动，最后只会被请出聊天室。
● 如果你是管理员，确保你不会滥用你的权利。不要随便以“踢人”为乐，或者仅仅因为和成员聊天“不爽”就请人出去。不要逼着让大家怕你马屁。你的责任是维持秩序，不是被大伙崇拜。管理员的权利得来不易，失去却很容易。
▽ Be courteous and kind to newbies (people new to a situation). Welcome these people to the chatroom. A simple, "Hello there ArticCat", can build confidence and open the lines of communication between you and a potential pen pal.
▽Keep on topic. If the topic of the room is "Football Chat", don't go in and start chatting about some great recipes you have been trying.
▽ Use acronyms to keep your message short. This avoids a lot of scrolling to read messages.
▽Be respectful. If you disagree with someone, tell them you see their point but you think differently.
▽ If you don't like a person because of their gender, culture, religion, sexual orientation, etc, keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear bigotry or hatred in a chatroom. If you cannot respect someone, then leave the room and find another place to chat.
▽ Do no interrupt another chatter. Let the chatter finish their story and then you can share yours.
▽ Never call someone names or start a verbal fight in a chatroom (better known as flaming).
▽ Don't follow someone around from chat room to chat room. Stalking is no more welcome in cyber-space than it is in real life.
▽ Never tell your pals secrets to anyone else. That is very rude. The only exception to this rule is if your pal told you they were abused or contemplating suicide. Then, and only then, should you tell the administrator in private.
▽ Don't yell in a chatroom. Yelling is done when TYPING IN ALL CAPS. It is also considered yelling when you increase the font size and/or use bold lettering.
▽Don't use swears. There is no need to use an obscene word to get across your emotions. Use your emoticons for that.
▽ Don't use offensive or vulgar nicknames. This behaviour usually gets you kicked out of a chat and possibly banned from entering again. Offensive and vulgar nicknames includes race slur, religious slur, sex, private body parts and cultural slur.
▽ If you need to complain about another chatter to the administrator, don't use threats. For example, don't tell the administrator to kick out Bobbyland or you will leave the channel and take all your friends with you. If you use threats the administrator is most likely to ignore you or you may find yourself getting reprimanded along with Bobbyland.
▽ Don't go into a chatroom and try to get everyone to leave it and go into another one. That is very rude behaviour and will only get you kick out and banned from the room.
▽ If you are the channel operator, be sure you don't abuse your adminisrative powers. Don't kick people out 'just for fun' or ban someone because they 'rubbed you the wrong way'. Don't make people bow to you and kiss your feet either. You are there to keep order and enforce the rules, not to be worshipped. Administrative powers can be taken away easier than they are given.
