Netiquette
A practical example of covenants is in the use of netiquette when participating in online forums and discussion boards. Teaching and Learning Online defines netiquette as the etiquette of online communication and the use of the Internet.
For a comprehensive list of rules for a variety of forms of online communication, see Harvard University's A Quick Guide to Newsgroup Etiquette http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/soc-sci/netiquette.html which is displayed below.
Pay particular attention to the section that discusses Discussion Groups, because there are many key points that you may want to refer to later.
