I've been gone for a little while so I need to catch up on my spam......anyway here goes:

net·i·quette    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (nt-kt, -kt)
n.
Etiquette practiced or advocated in electronic communication over a computer network.

This defintion I pasted from dictionary.com(no i'm not promoting the site) is not helpful to me very much. I'm mostly new to the internet-I've been on more in this one year than I've been on my whole life. I would like to know what is acceptable. Some pointers. For instance, if you don't really know a user that well, is it ok to pm them?

No. I don't anyway.
But I don't mind if people PM me for a serious question, or a private joke.
Also, capitals are considered shouting.
You are allowed to make fun of the MODs in a respectful manner. Hell, you can say what you want about them, as long as you put a ;) behind it, they'll always fall for that one. :lol:
Don't flame members with high post counts if your count is below 100. (unless it's the likes of hypo and consorts)

Sum of it all: just blend in...when in Rome, act like a tourist..... :)
