"Many of us want to move discussions to an online format, and when doing so we cannot assume that our students will always know how to behave online. This is why a rubric for participation is a good idea (good for setting expectations for getting good grades), but I would also suggest spending some time creating a document for norms of behaviour (outlining the dos and don'ts) when conversing online.
I did a bit of research on this topic for this post. First, I found an infographic 
which can be used as a quick summary for the rules and regs that an instructor may want to use in their class. Here's a nice design to use as an example:
Peter Connor, meanwhile, lists some good rules that we may want to be inspired by, when we list our own dos and don'ts for our online discussions:

And here's an interesting paper, that differentiates between explicit norms (as per the above) and the implicit unspoken rules for online behaviour.
If you are looking for a definitive paper on online discussion facilitation, you'll do well to read this resource on PDF:
How do you set the tone in your online discussions? Do you explicitly list dos and don'ts, or do you assume that your students will behave correctly - and correct any deviations one-on-one, behind the scenes? What resources do you use?"
