Abstract

The Discussion Forum Netiquette is a set of rules produced by Sanoma Group for everyone participating in anonymous discussions on the forum, Vauva.fi (Baby.fi). It originally started as a discussion forum for a family magazine. The magazine has been discontinued, but the popular discussion forum expanded years ago to cover all societal topics. It is now owned by the Sanoma Group. The service does not have pre-moderation; instead, messages can be removed afterwards. The Netiquette emphasizes respectful discussion and prohibits actions such as sending racist and offensive messages, endangering children’s safety, and trolling or provoking.
