Creepiness is partially context-dependent. If you try to list all details, there will be too many details to remember. On the other hand, if you try to find some general rules (such as: “don’t make people feel uncomfortable”), some people will have problem translating them to specific situations.
This could be possibly solved by making a “beginners” handbook, which would contain the general rules and their specific instances in the most typical situations (at school, at job, on street, in shop), and later some specific advice for less typical situations (at disco, at funeral, etc.).
But still, even the internet version would probably need different sections for instant messengers, facebook, e-mail… even for e-mail to different groups of people… Eh. Anyway, it could also start with most frequent situations, and progress to the more rare ones.
