Netiquette describes the rule for online behaviour in newsgroups, forum communities and chatrooms.
Netiquette derived from the two words Internet and etiquette.
Members of an online community usually enforce netiquette and moderators of the community often set the ground rules to use.
Examples of netiquette Rules:
*Respect everyone online. Do not spread rumors or send hateful or harmful messages. Don’t use inappropriate and offensive language.
*Think before you type, make sure what you write cannot be misinterpreted. Use emoticons or abbreviations to teasing, convey humor, or other emotions while online.
*Avoid spamming. Chain letters, Unwanted junk mail and jokes can be annoying and time consuming.
*Don’t type in all CAPITAL letters. This is considered shouting by the online community.
*Don’t be pest and annoy people while online. People may have work to do and can’t continue to communicate with you at that particular time.
