Considering the recent post of Eternal21 (and some other ones), I thought - what can be regarded as polite (and, therefore as a boundary of impoliteness). Off the top of my head: 1) always try to get my opponent exactly to 0, and don't cast anything on the last turn if I don't need to.
2) don't stop timer to read cards
3) don't do such things
4) don't gloat and don't make any rude remarks (if only in response or in battle heat, of course )
5) don't use Nicol Bolas deck
6) don't break agreements (for example, "don't select blue in 2hg")
7) don't create lobbies and go away without closing them
8) don't join and go away without logging out
anything else?
p.s. also - don't play gg, mm and (my personal request) as)

I posted something simillar on steam forum but judging by no replies at all I think I abandoned all hope:
There it is:
9. Do not quit immediately if you are about to lose, may lose or your starting hand is bull's droppings.
10. Please say "gg". Doesn't matter if you just won or lost. Such a simple thing but says a lot about you.
11. If playing 2HG, COMMUNICATE and WORK with your partner, don't mess up his board position just because it benefits you and you only.
12. Don't call people "noob" just because they made a mistake, simple slip of the mouse can cause you to cast a wrong spell.
13. Don't act like a teenage girl (unless you are one, in that case I am sorry).
I also wanted to say, love no 1. It happens all the time, people even dont attack with full force so they can get another turn and play with themselves a bit more. So annoying.

Rule number "Only": Be respectful.
Seriously, if you can't do that you need to find someone who is willing to savagely beat you until you get it.

Respect is the very relative thing. Many people believe that respect must be earned. So it's easy to imagine that 1:0 may be the good reason for gloating, calling names and so on (from the victor). Also it's very easy to suppose that some decks may be regarded as "disrespectful" - for example, as in that case, where BoF is considered as such. So if it'll be some kind of rules, I guess that it could make things somewhat easier.

Regarding "Rule #1" I would like to say that attempting to get your opponent to exactly 0 life can backfire. If they have creature removal and you hold back on your attack just so you can say that you aren't trying to "overkill" them, then you open yourself up to lose on the next turn. What if they have some lifegain available? I always try to, within reason, kill with more than enough. Now, if they are tapped out, have 0 cards in hand, no defenders then do your "polite" move if you want, but take more into consideration.
"#2" This is a game for beginners. If you can't handle newbs (which are different than n00bs) pausing the game for a few seconds you either need to get some patience or go play another game.
"#6" There are agreements in this game? IDK how to handle this rule.

--------------------------------
"#9" Why would I want to stick around for a grueling, non-interactive game when my starting hand is bull droppings and I've already mulliganed to 5? No thanks. It's easier to just drop and get into another game.
"#10" I would love to if it didn't take so long to send a message on the PSN.
Chancellor of the Spires  is one of the worst cards in the deck. With only two of them, you are almost never going to get one in your starting hand. If you do get it in your starting hand, it will just sit there. If you get to cast it, it will get burned immediately. - gombl3r CW is NOT how a mono blue deck should work. -Khronikos If anyone in our little group believes in prayer ... we could use all you can give us.

I've really been leaning toward not trying for that elegant 0.
I've always been a proponent, but I have been screwed quite a bit.
Lost a 2hg match a few nights ago when my partner went for the 0.

Not a proponent of "keep it close to zero" myself. It can backfire. In fact, I'm at the point where if someone considers it rude to swing with all you can, I consider that to be on them. A person has a right to try everything available to them to win, in case they have a mental lapse and forget about the Icy Manipulator  or some other card effect that would buy their opponent another turn. As long as the time taken is roughly the same, who cares if you lose by an imaginary 20 life or an imaginary 0? If you're worried about someone thinking you're gloating by doing so, a little light chat and a "gg" will put the idea to rest, and you don't have to worry about losing that one game out of 30 where you forgot about Guardian Seraph  because you were theoretically being polite. But I guess we've already covered this extensively in the thread specifically about the topic, so on topic -- probably the silliest are the leaderboard chasers who use GG/SS/etc exclusively, and once they win they quit out so they can't be counter-picked. I guess they're entitled to chasing those numbers if that's what gets them off, but it stinks to have to go through the lobby process again because a guy is afraid that an even match might make his e-peen number reflect that he loses sometimes.

It's not that relative.
And I'm not going to waste anyone's time explaining how to be respectful to someone.
It's an incredibly simple concept.
It's just sad that in the 21st century, the age of virtual courage, few people know that respect is actually a concept much less what it means...
So, you be nice to people you play against in DotP, you treat them with respect and if they disrespect you like the guy in the thread that inspired this one did, block them, report them and wish them well in their short pathetic existence.

Ok. It should be "try to evade" instead of "don't". The thing is - there is a whole campaign with revenge and stuff to learn cards. I just think that if you (in real life) come to the company of strangers who play for fun, not money, it'll be rather rude to ask every time about cards (rules, pieces and so on). It's wasting of their time without proper compensation.
"#6" There are agreements in this game? IDK how to handle this rule.
Their were the thread somewhere nearby about some people who propose not to choose blue in 2hg and after that play it themselves. How to? Just to be fair, that's all.

Completely agree.
