Have fun
Whilst not necessarily etiquette it's probably the most important thing of playing online. Everyone is there to have fun, so don't try and ruin it for them.

So this list isn't exhaustive as to the should and should-nots of online gaming, but they are the biggest annoyances that most people suffer from. At the end of the day, if you're in any doubt about the way you're behaving, think how annoying it would be if someone was acting like that towards you. And remember, with the inclusion of blacklists, you may find yourself with no-one left to play with!
