    Here are a few pointers to help you get the most of Goal.community. There are no rules, of course, but these suggestions might help you express yourself even better:

     

    1. Avoid writing e-mail messages or posting in newsgroup using all caps. It makes it seems LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING! Unless, of course, you have something to shout about.
    2. Sometimes, it’s hard to express online exactly what you’re feeling. To add humor and personality, try using “emoticons” (you have a list in "Insepert Smile")
    3. Remember that anything you post in a newsgroup or type during a chat session is a public comment. You never know who is reading it, or who may copy it and spread it around. So be sure you mean what you write.
    4. When you post a message to a forum or newsgroup, stick to the topic. Don’t indiscriminately post unrelated comments, or worse, advertise to every community anything you can think of. This practice, known as “spamming,” will quickly lead to another unpleasant Internet practice: “flaming”. What is flaming? Sometimes you might offend someone unintentionally. Be prepared to receive some angry P.M. or be treated rudely in a public discussion. This is called being flamed. If you attack back, you will spark a flame war. To contain the heat, the best response usually is not to respond at all. Or, in worst cases, contact the community administrator.
