"Netiquette" is a must-have if you`re planning to use forums. What is netiquette, you ask? Basically same as offline etiquette. It is essential to have a good understanding of acceptable ways to communicate with other forum members. That`s why it`s so important to do a LOT of reading in forums before you start posting messages yourself.

This is where good moderators come into play. They check forums for inappropriate posts and spam, they keep boards clean, and make sure everybody plays by rules. Forums without moderators tend to turn into ghost-towns, with nothing but spam bots visiting them. A nice clean board needs good moderators to keep it that way.

In worst-case scenario, if you break rules in a forum, by maybe spamming, or using inappropriate launguage or behaviour, either administrators or moderators may well end up banning you from that particular forum. If that happens, they will most likely delete each and every post you`ve made, whether it`s good or bad.

Happy Visiting and Posting. Anna-Marie Stewart

While a lot of programs truly ARE legitimate, there`s thousands more that aren`t. There are certain questions you need to ask promoteur of any program/opportunity/offer before you make your decisions.

1. What is FULL outlay expected of me for membership fees, equipment and supplies? 2. What will I get for my money? 3. What exactly do I have to do (step by step)? 4. Will I be paid a regular wage, or will my pay be based on commission? 5. Who will be paying me?

Take your time. People promoting scams will likely use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy in to them. If business opportunity is legitimate, it'll still be around when you're ready to decide.
