Theme 4 : Internet
etiquette

What is Internet etiquette ?

Netiquette is short for "Internet etiquette." Just like etiquette is a code of polite behavior in society, etiquette in simpler words is
defined as good behaviour which distinguishes human beings from animals. Etiquette refers to behaving in a socially
responsible way. Etiquette refers to guidelines which control the way a responsible individual should behave in the 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. These are ten examples of
rules to follow for good netiquette: Avoid posting inflammatory or offensive comments online (a.k.a flaming), respect others' privacy by
not sharing personal information, photos, or videos that another person may not want published online, never spam others by sending
large amounts of unsolicited email, show good sportsmanship when playing online games, whether you win or lose, don't troll people in
web forums or website comments by repeatedly nagging or annoying them, stick to the topic when posting in online forums or when
commenting on photos or videos, such as YouTube or Facebook comments, don't swear or use offensive language, avoid replying to
negative comments with more negative comments. Instead, break the cycle with a positive post, if someone asks a question and you
know the answer, offer to help and 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.

vocabulary

Inflammatory : relating to or causing inflammation of a part of the body.
Unsolicited : not asked for; given or done voluntarily.
Troll : people who leave intentionally provocative or offensive messages on the internet in order to get attention
