RFC 1855 - eine Netiquette



Information Services (Gopher, Wais, WWW, ftp, telnet)
- As in other environments, it is wise to "listen" first
to get to know the culture of the group.
- It's not necessary to greet everyone on a channel or room
personally. Usually one "Hello" or the equivalent is enough.
Using the automation features of your client to greet people is not
acceptable behavior.
- Warn the participants if you intend to ship large quantities of
information. If all consent to receiving it, you may send, but sending
unwanted information without a warning is considered bad form just as
it is in mail.
- Don't assume that people who you don't know will want to talk to
you. If you feel compelled to send private messages to people you
don't know, then be willing to accept gracefully the fact that they
might be busy or simply not want to chat with you.
- Respect the guidelines of the group. Look for introductory
materials for the group. These may be on a related ftp site.
- Don't badger other users for personal information such as sex,
age, or location. After you have built an acquaintance with another
user, these questions may be more appropriate, but many people
hesitate to give this information to people with whom they are not
familiar.
- If a user is using a nickname alias or pseudonym, respect that
user's desire for anonymity. Even if you and that person are close
friends, it is more courteous to use his nickname. Do not use that
person's real name online without permission.
