Netiquette is a set of unofficial rules for good behavior and politeness followed by users of

online and digital technologies such as the Internet, email, and chat rooms. Netiquette is derived
from the word "etiquette," which refers to the general rules or conventions of correct and polite
behaviour in social settings and situations. It is thus the practice of exercising polite and
considerate behaviour in online contexts, such as Internet discussion boards and personal
email.

Netiquette is short for "Internet etiquette." Just like etiquette is a code of polite behavior in
society, netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet. This includes several aspects of
the Internet, such as email, social media, online chat, web forums, website comments,
multiplayer gaming, and other types of online communication.

While there is no official list of netiquette rules or guidelines, the general idea is to respect
others online. Below are ten examples of rules to follow for good netiquette:

1. Avoid posting inflammatory or offensive comments online (a.k.a flaming).


2. Respect others' privacy by not sharing personal information, photos, or videos that
another person may not want published online.
3. Never spam others by sending large amounts of unsolicited email.
4. Show good sportsmanship when playing online games, whether you win or lose.
5. Don't troll people in web forums or website comments by repeatedly nagging or
annoying them.
6. Stick to the topic when posting in online forums or when commenting on photos or
videos, such as YouTube or Facebook comments.
7. Don't swear or use offensive language.
8. Avoid replying to negative comments with more negative comments. Instead, break the
cycle with a positive post.
9. If someone asks a question and you know the answer, offer to help.
10. Thank others who help you online.

The Internet provides a sense of anonymity since you often do not see or hear the people with
whom you are communicating online. But that is not an excuse for having poor manners or
posting incendiary comments. While some users may feel like they can hide behind their
keyboard or smartphone when posting online, the fact is they are still the ones publishing the
content. Remember – if you post offensive remarks online and the veil of anonymity is lifted, you
will have to answer for the comments you made.

In summary, good netiquette benefits both you and others on the Internet. Posting a positive
comment rather than a negative one just might make someone's day.
