What is Netiquette?
 “Net” + “Etiquette” = Netiquette
 Netiquette are the manners that
everyone should follow when
communicating online.
Rules of
Netiquette
▹ Be nice and respectful
￭ Just because you can’t see
someone, doesn’t mean that
person can’t have his/her
feelings hurt. If you won’t
say it to someone’s face, then
don’t feel free to say it in
writing.
▹ Don’t use bad language.

￭ Using bad language


just proves you don’t
know how to say
something well.
▹ Don’t spread rumors or
lies.

￭ This is a form of bullying


and is against the law.
￭ Words and writing are
powerful.
￭ Treat that power with
respect.
▹ DON’T SHOUT.
￭ All caps = shouting.
￭ Use all caps like you
would a highlighter —
only occasionally.
▹ Don’t break the law.

￭ Stealing from others


isn’t just impolite; it’s
illegal. That means
files, movies, music,
etc.
￭ If someone else did
the work, don’t take it
without asking.
Control Flame Wars.

￭ “Flaming” is when the fires


of gossip get out of control
and rapidly spread.
￭ Don’t get caught up in it. If
someone comments in a
discussion in an
emotional way or in a way
that breaks another rule
of netiquette, don’t get
involved.
 Be forgiving

￭ Everyone is new at this.


￭ Everyone may
occasionally make a
mistake, like a spelling
error.
￭ Let the small things
pass.
