As a courtesy to others — and to protect yourself — please follow these etiquette guidelines when using MICPA's Connect service.
Discussion of fees is prohibited.
Use a brief, clear and descriptive Subject.
Delete lengthy signatures and disclosures before sending your message.
Be sure the topic you are discussing is appropriate for the group you are posting to.
When replying to a message, please direct your reply to the proper person or Group:
When you simply hit the "reply" button on a group message, the entire group will receive your reply
If you wish to reply only to the person who sent the original message, click the person's name which will take you to their online profile. From there click Message this Person. Alternatively, you may use the Private Message link in the left hand navigation.
Do not use MICPA Connect to send angry, critical or emotionally charged messages. If you have a conflict with someone, send them a private message.
USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IS THE ELECTRONIC EQUIVALENT OF SHOUTING and is considered rude by some people.
Don't reply with “thank you” or “me too” responses. Send those directly to individuals, and not the entire Listserv.
Advertising services, soliciting business or distributing other self-promoting material through the forum is not permitted.
Posting job announcements or resumes, or distributing other self-promoting material through the forum is not permitted.
Advertising or promoting non-MICPA related continuing education is prohibited.
Use humor and sarcasm sparingly. Humor in messages can easily be misinterpreted; remarks that you think are funny can come across as rude to others.
