Etiquette on Zephyr Instances

When sending zephyrgrams to instances, it is best to avoid doing things that might annoy other users who are subscribed to those instances. You should generally avoid things like sending excessively long messages, having excessively long zsigs, using the font @huge, using color. Using ALL CAPS is considered shouting and should be used as little as possible. Also, it is customary to send messages that are not really relevant to the discussion on an instance (for example, a joke about something said on the instance) to the instance instancename.d. This is used particularly for instance help and instances for discussion about classwork.
