- Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet.
- Is the code of acceptable behaviours users should follow while on the Internet or online or cyberspace.
- It is the conduct expected of individuals while online.
- Rules for all aspects of the:
- World Wide Web
- Instant Messaging
- Chat rooms
- Newsgroups & message board.
- Electronic communication lacks the facial expression, gestures and tone of voice to convey your meaning. It’s easy to misinterpret meaning of words.
- Remember, when you communicate through cyberspace your words are written.
- Chances are they're stored somewhere and they can come back and haunt you.
- Any message you send could be saved or forwarded by its recipient. You have no control over where it goes.
- When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you, take a look around and spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives.
- Get a sense of how the people who are already there act, then go ahead and participate.
- Don’t expect instant responses to all your questions and don't assume that all readers will agree with or care about your passionate arguments.
