Core Rules of

Netiquttes
Netiquette, or network etiquette, is concerned with the
“proper” manner of
communication in the online environment. Whenever you
communicate in virtual
World, consider the following “rules,” adapted from Virginia
Shea’s Core Rules of
Nitequette.
Rule 1:Remember the
Human
When communicating electronically, whether through email,
instant message,
discussion post, text, or another method, practice the Golden
Rule: Do unto others
as you would do unto you.
Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online
that you follow in real life
While it can be argued that standards of behavior may be
different in the virtual world, they certainly should not be
lower. You should do your best to act.
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace

“Netiquette varies from domain to domain. “ (Shea,1994)


Depending on where
you are in the virtual world, the same written communication
can be acceptable in
one area, where it might be considered inappropriate in
another.
Rule 4: Respect other people’s time and bandwidth
Electronic Communication takes time: time to read and time
in which to respond. Most people today lead busy lives, just
like you do, and don’t have time to
read or respond to frivolous emails or discussion posts.
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online
One of the virtual world’s best things is the lack of
judgment associated with
your physical appearance, the sound of your voice, or the
clothes you wear.
Rule 6: Share expert
knowledge
The internet offers its users many benefits; one is the
ease in which
information can be shared or accessed, and in fact, this
“information sharing”
capability is one of the reasons the Internet was founded.
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control
What is meant by “flaming” and “flame wars” “Flaming is
what people do
when they express a strongly held opinion without holding
back any emotion.
Rule 8: Respect other people’s privacy
Depending on what you are reading in the virtual world, be it
an online class
discussion forum, Facebook page, or an email you may be
exposed to some private
or personal information that needs to be handled with care.
Rule 9:Don’t abuse your power
Like in face-to-face situations, there are people in
cyberspace who have more
“power” than others.
Rule 10: Be forgiving pf other people’s mistakes
Not everyone has the same amount of experience working
in the virtual world.
And not everyone knows the rule of Netiquette.
