In no way do I advocate typos, however, I know that they happen from time to time. I do not think a typo needs to be pointed out and teased about.

Before you login to Hawkeye Report Message Boards, add a good grammar check program to your computer. Regulars on the Hawkeye Report Message boards frequently taunt and tease people who don’t properly make a sentence. With multiple languages spoken each day in America and around the world, not everyone has perfect English skills. Again I do not advocate not using proper English, however there are people of different education levels, speaking backgrounds, ages, among other things. Not everyone is an English Professor but some people on the Hawkeye Report Message Boards think everyone should speak proper English at all times. Remember we are talking about message boards here. Should we be concerned about someone that has enough time to sit there and correct everyone who posts?

Decide if that’s a community you want to support and be a part of. Take some time to learn their terms of service and who to contact for help.

Once you’ve decided to log into an online community, pick an appropriate user name. Remember these names live on in “cyber space” long after you’ve logged off or left a community. Pick a user name that you wouldn’t be embarrassed of a future boss or family member finding. Then begin slowly with the community. Get a feel for how the people respond and accept you. If you don’t like the way an online community feels, move on to another website. Life is to short to spend time online being taunted and teased by cyber bullies.

Use caution when enjoying any website. If you encounter a cyber bully or cyber bullies don’t respond to them. This just feeds the feeling they get by picking on people. Don’t give them that satisfaction. You can log off the online community for a while, as well as block and mute them, if those options are available to you. Remember to report cyber bullies to the website administrator, some websites care how their guests are treated. If an online community don’t care how their guests are treated or that you’re being cyber bullied, then leave that online community. No one deserves to be cyber bullied.

Enjoy those online communities. Don’t be a victim of cyber bullying.
