Netiquettes - Do you consider it RUDE?

Postby netcat » Wed Jun 25, 2008 10:36 am

Hi
I would like to get everyone's opinion on a site my friend showed me. The address is http://www.pleaselearntherules.com and it is a place to send people when they don't use BCC when sending to groups or forward time wasters to your work address..

Here is my delimma: I am thinking it might be a nice way to let people know I don't appreciate them sending my email address out to a bunch of strangers but I don't want to seem too rude. A lot of the people who send me these kinds of emails are just new to using email or the internet.. What do you guys think? Is this kind of response rude?

Thanks!
Regards

Fuck off you tedious cunt

Do you consider that RUDE?

I'd wager it's more effective.

Welcome to the forum Netcat

This is indeed a forum where you can ask questions and hopefully receive constructive responses. Unfortuantely, netiquette is perhaps the last thing people are thinking of these days, when they can't even get the hang of etiquette in normal life.

It's up to you if you wish to send this link to your friends but I think you will just be ridiculed for doing so.

Welcome Netcat -

After using the interwebby every day for about ten years now, I was only recently made aware of the difference between cc (carbon copy) and Bcc (Blind carbon copy) :oops:

I had an e-mail from a guy who wanted me not to 'cc' him ! I didn't find this in the least offensive - so I would reccomend you just ask your mates and state your pref.

Is there a site where I can direct some one to help them recognise Image
