One assumes that you have the best of intentions to begin with...
1) If you are new to a website, community, blog or forum, be sure to read the FAQ and rules first.
2) Read everything properly and thoroughly before responding.
3) If you don't want to risk a nasty response, don't post anything at all.
4) Never put more than 3 exclamation marks in a post. If all your sentences end with exclaimation marks, it makes you look like spam.
5) Don't laugh at your own jokes. Avoid ending your sentences with LOL. (Ironically, I just did.)
6) If you aren't sure about something or how to do something, ask nicely.
7) Don't post links without telling people where they lead to. Don't click on links if you don't know where they go.
8 ) Don't post links to prank "click and get counted" sites and scam sites.
9) Poetry.com and its affiliates are scams. Don't boast about entering and being accepted into their contests. (Read about these scams and more: link )
10) Don't post your email address in your signature because you will be spammed. Don't post other people's email address or personal particulars without permission.
11) A cookie file is not a virus.
12) Don't assume everyone's American.

Well, at least you are funny. Some people aren't, and when they laugh at their own jokes, it just grates grumpy-me.
