Netiquette: for all the Internet users

 Netiquette: for all the Internet users

I have learned so many things about Netiquette. First of all, I have learned about the meaning of etiquette and what Netiquette stands for; Secondly, I have learned about the rules, kinds, types and examples of Netiquette; Lastly, I have learned the meaning of newbies, meaning new users, flaming, meaning insulting interaction between Internet users, lurking, meaning reading the discussion and keeping it as a secret or not exposing it to the public.

 There are two classifications of netiquette: the Netiquette Basics and the Netiquette of Sending. The four basic rules of netiquette are summarized below:
  • Help the "newbies"
  • Research before asking
  • Remember emotion
  • People aren't organizations 
These rules should always be followed. Netiquette of sending is classified into three: 
Be Brief, you should send messages briefly, so that your message will not be tiring to read; Netiquette of Replying, examine your message first before sending it; and Netiquette of Confidentiality, be confident always and respect everybody.

 Once, I had an experience, it just happened last week. I broke one rule of netiquette. I used an abusive language. I said it because I got mad at the one who posted the post. I felt bad. I deleted my comment immediately. Then I felt thankful to our teacher in computer beacause she thought us about netiquette.
