The best way I think will be honest, polite, respect etc. which I find not many can match or meet the requirements, online or offline, I think people are the same people, online or offline, the same dangerous or proceed with caution. I once have a IMVU account, but it got deleted after some years which i was offline, I mean off the internet after computer died, along with family issue etc., anyway I did not deleted my account, I still want to use it, I have a huge group there with thousands members but, I feel disappointed with IMVU to what they did to my account, I don't like facebook but I still have one account but I got no friends there anyway, only 1 friend at this moment, maybe 2 shortly because I joined a group and the leader is friending me but I'm thinking what we don't ever chatted anything yet, sometimes I see people as spy... easily... am I the only one who would think this way? Maybe~
