Welcome!
I wouldn't say there is any specific etiquette that would be unknown elsewhere. Busy boards like BA or AA sometimes can get edgy to the point of rudeness, but such instances are rare.
You will find an average Frequent Flyer quite good natured because, as a rule, those with severely deficient inter-personal skills generally don't end up in jobs that involve a lot of flying.
Members are generally very unforgiving to "Don't You Know Who I Am?" attitude where someone recently silvered or golded, or flying for the first time in C or F, comes up with a long story of complaining based on a single incident (luggage lost / upgrade denied / stodgy cheesecake in First etc.). Most members are very experienced and know how this industry works and know the difference between an incident and a trend.
I would say it is a very kind-hearted and good-natured forum.
