WHAT IS NETIQUETTE
Netiquette is a combination of the words network and etiquette. It is defined as a set of rules for acceptable ONLINE behavior. It
is essential that we use and abide by the same rules ONLINE as we do offline, or in our regular lives.
Rules of Netiquette
One, acknowledge and return messages promptly.
Two, avoid sarcasm. People who do not know you may misinterpret its meaning.
Three, be concise. Keep messages concise—about one screen, as a rule of thumb.
Four, begin messages with a salutation and end them with your name.
Five, copy with caution. Do not copy everyone you know on each message.
Six, including a subject line. Give a descriptive phrase in the subject line of the message header that tells the topic of the message
(not just "Hi, there!").
 Seven, no spam (a.k.a. junk mail). Don't contribute to worthless information on the Internet by sending or responding to mass
postings of chain letters, rumors, etc.
Eight, respect others' privacy. Do not quote or forward personal email without the original author's permission.
Nine, use a signature (a footer with your identifying information) at the end of a message
Ten, use appropriate intensifiers to help convey meaning.
Eleven, use appropriate language:
