Some rules to follow for online etiquette:
- Respect privacy

- Sarcasm can be hard to convey online add jk, lol, or emojis to make sure they know you are joking
- Allow expression of opinions
- Avoid arguing online- Keep the drama onstage and not online
- Think before you post
- Would you say what you are posting in person?
Just as you would not want the audience making noise, taking pictures with the flash on, or other distracting behaviors while you are performing, we need to be a courteous online audience.
