What Is Netiquette ?
It is a word that came from the two words “net” and
“etiquette”. It is an etiquette applied online that
shows proper manner and behavior. If you are a
member of an online society through social media
you are called netizen.
And in interacting with other netizen online, we
need to maintain good behavior which is acceptable
to others in online community.
The Core Rules of Netiquette by Seth T. Ross
1. Remember the human.
You need to remember that you are talking to a real person when you are online.
The internet brings people together who would otherwise never meet.
Remember this saying when sending an email: Would I say this to the person’s face.

2. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real
life.
You need to behave the same way online that you do in real life.
You need to remember that you can get caught doing things you should not be doing online just like you can in real
life.
You are still talking to a real person with feelings even though you can’t see them.

3. Know where you are in cyberspace.

Always take a look around when you enter a new domain when surfing the web.
Get a sense of what the discussion group is about before you join it.

4. Respect other people's time and bandwidth.

Remember people have other things to do besides read your email. You are not the center of their world.
Keep your post and emails to minimum by saying what you want to say.
Remember everyone won’t answer your questions.

5. Make yourself look good online.

Be polite and pleasant to everyone.
Always check your spelling and grammar before posting.
Know what you are talking about and make sense saying it.
 6. Share expert knowledge.
Ask questions online
Share what you know online.
Post the answers to your questions online because someone may have the same question you do.

7. Help keep flame wars under control.

Netiquette does not forgive flaming.
Netiquette does however forbid people who are flaming to hurt discussion groups by putting the group down.

8. Respect other people's privacy.

Do not read other people’s mail without their permission.
Going through other people’s things could cost you, your job or you could even go to jail.
Not respecting other people’s privacy is a bad netiquette.

9. Don't abuse your power.

Do not take advantage of other people just because you have more knowledge or power than them.
Treat others as you would want them to treat you if the roles were reversed.
10. Be forgiving of other people's mistakes.
Do not point out mistakes to people online.
Remember that you were once the new kid on the block.
You still need to have a good manners even though you are online and cannot see the person face to
face.
Online Safety and Security
The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It
can be used to promote your business,
gain new friends, and stay in touch with
the old ones. It is also a source of
entertainment. But like most things in this
world, there is always “another side of
the coin.” The Internet is one of the most
dangerous places, especially if you do
not know what you are doing.
Tips to Stay Safe Online
1. Be mindful of what you share online and what site you share it to.
2. Do not just accept terms and conditions; read it.

mode,” a feature of the browser, will not protect you from hackers.

 Think Before You Click
1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions
to yourself: Would you want your parents or grandparents to see
it? Would you want your future boss to see it? Once you post
something on the web, you have no control of who sees your
posts.
2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online.
Talk to your friends about this serious responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will
not be able to scan that post.

scan.
5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask
the one who posted it to pull it down or report it as
inappropriate.
