• DO choose a screen name that is appropriate. If you choose a risqué or offensive handle, it's just a matter of time before someone reports you. And if you play on a site that provides ranks, ratings, badges, stamps or some other types of goodies, you could lose all of that.
• DON'T assume you know how to play the game before trying it out. Most game sites offer a "How to Play" guide, which will give detailed instructions about each game.
• DO set the expectation. If you want to play a friendly game, tell people in the chat room that you are starting a "friendly" game. If you want to play a super-competitive game, then say so.
• DON'T stoop to the level of an abuser. As tempting as it may be to defend yourself or others, refrain. Most sites offer a "mute" or "block chat" feature that prevents you from seeing the chat of chosen individuals.
• DO report abuse when you see players breaking the site's rules. You may be the only one who does.
• DON'T be a poor sport. It's only a game and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. If you lose, then do it with dignity. Don't accuse your opponent of cheating or just being lucky.
• DO be friendly in the chat room. A simple "Hello all" or "Hi everyone" will immediately let people know that you're a friendly person. This will make it easier for you to find game partners and to make friends.
