Betty teaches you the importance of keeping your OFFLINE identity separate from your ONLINE identity

Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Netiquette - Spoilers!
How angry am I? So angry! And why? Well, it all started yesterday as I was reading through a forum for my favorite TV show. One of the posters must have assumed everyone in the forums saw the last episode, because he wrote exactly how it ended.
Thanks for ruining it! I’ve been so busy lately that I missed the last episode. I was going to watch it tonight, but no sense in doing that now! Ugh. And to think, this all could have been prevented if he let the readers know his post contained spoilers.
My fellow Cadets, if you’re going to reveal any fact about a show, book, movie, play, etc, that your reader may not know, tag it as a spoiler! The easiest way to do this is by writing ****SPOILER ALERT**** before the spoiler and ****END SPOILERS**** afterwards. By doing this, you will keep your readers happy and they will not have to worry about you spoiling anything for them.
Oh, and finally, PLEASE don’t put any spoilers in the title of your post! At least give your reader’s a fighting chance to decide for themselves if they want to read the spoilers!
