Internet Etiquette
Internet etiquette means the way a person conducts himself or herself when on the internet also known as Netiquette. It is also called netiquette, combining network and etiquette.
Proper Internet Etiquette
Mind your language - It is very important to avoid usage of improper or bad language. You might be told to go off line immediately if you are using foul or abusive language. Flaming or verbal abuse should be avoided completely while interacting on the Internet. Though you may not agree to it, it is not correct to verbally abuse and disrespect the other person because of it. If you want to give your opinion about it, it should be done in a polite manner and not by insulting or harassing the other verbally. Indulging in flaming can only lead you to gain online enemies. Therefore, never be offensive, racist, biased, libellous or obscene on the Internet, be it via email or otherwise. Some jokes are just in bad taste and will not be appreciated.
Banned Capitals - While chatting with anyone, you should not shout. In internet jargon, shouting refers to writing in capital letters. Avoiding using capitals, as it can be considered as rude, is one of the basic internet etiquette tips.
Guarding Your Own - Anything which goes on the internet does not remain personal. Keeping your very personal information to you is preferable. Posting personal, very private information in wrong places can prove disastrous. Being extremely careful while posting personal information will avoid further problems and complications.
Internet etiquette is all about being respectful and courteous and using proper language. All the other things then fall in place.
