To help create a safe online environment, you can do the following:
- Respect the privacy of others.
- Follow user policies.
- Be cautious when using slang or jargon.
- Avoid online harassment and cyberbullying.
Refusing to enroll in public discussion boards is not necessarily a requirement for creating a safe online environment, as engaging in such spaces can also promote positive interactions. However, it is important to participate respectfully and responsibly if you do choose to engage in them.
