INTRODUCTION TO
NETIQUETTE
Netiquette refers to the code of polite
behavior practiced in online interactions.
It combines the words ‘network’ and
‘etiquette’ to guide respectful
communication in digital spaces.
WHY IS
NETIQUETTE
IMPORTANT?
• Promotes respectful communication
online
• Helps prevent misunderstandings and
conflicts
•Maintains a positive digital environment
• Protects individuals from cyberbullying
and harassment
The rules of etiquette are just as
important in cyberspace as they
are in the real world- and the
evidence of poor netiquette can
stick around to haunt you for
much longer. Follow these basic
rules of netiquette to avoid
damaging your online and offline

10 BASIC RULES OF NETIQUETTE OR
INTERNET ETIQUETTE
1. Remember That Real People Take Priority
:If someone is in the room with you, stop what you
are doing and look at them. And don’t answer your
cell phone unless it is to tell the person on the other
end that you will call them right back. If you are
expecting an important call or email, let the person
with you know upfront, and apologize for taking the
call.

2. If You Wouldn’t Say It to Someone’s
Face, Don’t Say It Online
Name-calling, cursing, expressing
deliberately offensive opinions-if you
wouldn’t do it to the face of anyone who
might conceivably see what you write,
don’t write it.
10 BASIC RULES OF NETIQUETTE OR
INTERNET ETIQUETTE
3. If You Wouldn’t Show It in Public, Don’t
Share It Online
Naked sex pictures, drunk pictures, drug use
pictures, unedited home video-if you would
have a problem with your boss, your parents,
or your kids seeing it now, or at any point in
the future, don’t post it online.

4. Don’t Exclude Your Audience
If you have an in-joke to share with one other
person, or a small number of people in a larger
online group, send them a private message.
Don’t make everyone else feel left out by
posting an obscure comment to your Facebook
status, forum, or Instagram story.

5. Don’t “Friend” Then “Unfriend” People
No one believes you have 1,000 friends, but it
is still insulting to be dropped from someone’s
friend list. Think about it before adding them
or accepting their invitation. If you don’t want
to be in touch with them, don’t add them in
the first place.

6. Don’t Overload System Resources With Enormous
Files
You might think that sequence of nature pictures
with inspirational statements is wonderfully
moving. It might even give you a sense of serenity.
But that is the last thing it will give the person you
email it to if it crashes their server, depletes their
inbox quota so their emails get bounced for a week
before they realize, or uses up the last bit of space

7. Respect People’s Privacy
Don’t forward information sent to you without
checking with the original sender first. Use BCC
(blind carbon copy) rather than CC (carbon copy) if
you are sending something out to more than one
person. You might think that we are all friends
online, but your friends may not want their names
and or email addresses publicized to people they
do not even know.

8. Don’t Repost Without Checking the Facts
That cure for cancer might sound pretty
impressive, but it will just cause upset if it is a
hoax. And urban myths add to the noise of the
internet and waste people’s time. If you aren’t
sure of the facts, email it to someone who
does know or can find out. Or do a search on
Google or snopes.com

9. Check and Respond to Email Promptly
By all means, ignore and delete spam, unsolicited
messages, and crazy stuff. But if you have given
someone your email address or if you are in a
position where people could reasonably be expected
to contact you by email and your email address is
public, have the courtesy to reply to their message
within a few days. If it is going to take longer to
reply, email them and tell them that.

10. Update Online Information That People
Depend Upon
Don’t leave inaccurate information online just
because you can’t be bothered to update
yourwebsite. If you are going to be unavailable,
for example, don’t leave your hours of
operation online indicating you will be
available. If you can’t keep your website up to
