Regrettably I haven't been the greatest participant here, but my years of being a moderator hopefully give me a way of dealing with some of my karma by sharing some experiences.

• Self-policing - OK, I got this one
• Egoless interaction - the Big one
• Low drama - my failure, I claimed I was departing twice, and yet. Just can't put that CT down.
• No mind reading - communicate about needed information
• Come with something to give
• Build a nice community and you will have a nice place in cyberspace to hang your hat.

I like the list, and it would be nice to build an acrostic which gets the same points across. There's an acrostic endorsed by the National Autistic Society, SPELL, which gives a general framework for creating a supportive environment for people on the spectrum. If any of you know anyone on the spectrum -- family members, students, friends -- this can be an incredibly helpful set of principles to bear in mind.

Structure [consistency, safe and predictable environments]
Positive [approaches and expectations]
Empathy
Low arousal
