Hey guys today I will be talking about 6 netiquette rules and explaining them.
Number 1- don’t identify yourself
When your online it is not always safe, when you are online or on social media it allows strangers to communicate with you, if this happens you must not ever give them any information about yourself or anything about you because you don’t know who they are.
Number 2- remember the human
The golden rule you parents and you kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple, do unto others as you’d have others unto you, imagine how you would feel if you were in the other persons shoes, stand up to yourself but try not to hurt other people’s feelings.
Number 3- have the same rules you have online that you have in real life.
in real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, because we’re afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that there’s a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that a lower standard of personal behaviour is acceptable in cyberspace.
Number 4- know where you are in cyberspace
What’s perfectly acceptable in one area may be dreadfully rude in another. For example, in most TV discussion groups, passing on gossip is perfectly permissible. But throwing around rumours in a journalists’ mailing list will make you very unpopular there.
Number 5- respect other peoples time
It’s a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labour-saving devices than our grandparents did. When you send email or post to a discussion group, you’re taking up other people’s time. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn’t wasted.
Number 6- make yourself look good online.
I don’t want to give the impression that the internet is a bad place where people are who just can’t wait to insult each other, but that’s not true most people who communicate online just want to be liked. You won’t be judged by the colour of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing. If you use the net right.
Here is a website that gives you a more explained version of this.
