How to avoid mistakes when communicating in an online forum?

Your original question, as an example, read: How do avoid mistakes when communicating online forum?

First, watch for spelling errors (to, instead of do in the original question).

Second, used complete sentences. In your question, you left out "in an" before the end of the sentence. Those little words can change the meaning of a sentence. For example:

Bring the dog bed.

Bring the dog to bed.

Bring the dog to his bed.

Each has a different meaning. We need to little words, like "to" to explain meaning.

Third, avoid "texting" abbreviations. They make people look uneducated, despite their real education.

Fourth, be brief if you can. But if you need to explain points, do so. Don't make people guess at your intent or thoughts.

Fifth, be courteous. You never know when brain and fingers might hit the wrong keys; a nasty E-mail could go to your spouse, your professor, your boss....or even to your grandma. If you're courteous all the time, you won't ever have to worry about someone seeing you at your worst.

Why was I banned from 4Chan You have been banned from all boards for the following reason congrats you rolled a ban I've never seen this before Anyone else know what it means?

My best guess would be that you were using "rolls" or "gets" on boards other than /b/. If you weren't, it's likely someone else in your house was. Nobody gets permanently banned unless they post felonious images, so you should be unbanned soon (the ban page will say how long it is).

What is the best way to be included if people are organizing to meet somewhere in front of you and do not include you in the invitation?

How rude. :-(

If they inadvertently didn't include you, then perhaps you are really invited, too: ask one of your closer friends in the group and see if they think you were meant to be included. If so, then maybe you can just come along with your friend.

If you're sure that they intentionally didn't include you, then they suck and you shouldn't want to be hanging out with such people anyway. Seriously: stay away from sucky people like that. In that case, best make your own fun--ask a friend of yours or a family member to do something else with you instead. Or, rent a good movie and have a nice time watching it by yourself.

A networking security method of controlling access.

Let's say I don't want users to surf the Internet - I can deny access via the port specifically allocated to the HTTP protocol used in web pages (port 80), and no browser will be able to send out requests to access web pages.

If you don't understand about TCP/IP ports, there's info on Wikipedia.
