Communication between people Keep your audience in mind (for example, are you addressing a group or a single person, how well do you know each other etc.) when choosing your words and the structure of your sentences. In particular, try to avoid (unintended) coarseness, ambiguities or even insults in your texts. Due to the lack of non-verbal communication, your text can easily be misinterpreted. Always remember there is a person the other side as well!
Legibility To keep your message easy to read, you need to take a few things into account. Consider the use of correct syntax and spelling, capitalization and punctuation. If you quote a message, do not change the wording, just leave out any unnecessary information, and only quote the part that is relevant. Avoid unnecessary (HTML) formatting and excessive use of colour. Continuous use of capital letters or bold writing comes across as loud and makes your text more difficult to read, try to avoid this.
Double entries, cross posting We continuously try to keep the forum clear and uncluttered for all users, but for this we also need your help as members. - Double entry: This is creating a new thread on a topic that is already being discussed on the forum. - Cross post: This is posting the same response in multiple threads. Both are detrimental to the clarity of the forum. If you create a topic, first use the search function to see if there is not already a topic with your question. Both double posts as cross posts will be removed by us immediately and without warning, though the poster will of course be made aware of this via private message.
