i +  NETIQUETTES
                 Etiquettes  are  the  rules that  are expected  to  be  followed  while  meeting others  or
                 communicating  with  others.  In  online communication,  you  might not  be  face  to
                 face with the person, which can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. In order  to
                 avoid misunderstanding, a set of rules have been designed which are expected to
                 be followed during  online conversation.  This set of rules is known  as  Netiquettes.

                 It basically stands for Network Etiquettes.
                 Follow some common Netiquettes while you are using email or social networking sites:

                 •  The subject of the email must be in relation to the matter of the email.
                 •  Signatures in an email should be small and simple.

                 •  Avoid sending repeated emails just for publicity of the product or service.

                 •  Avoid typing in capital letters as typing in capitals is taken as shouting at the person.
                 •   While writing an email, the person(s) whom you want should answer must be marked in
                    the `To' field. The persons marked in the 'Cc' field may or may not respond to the mail.

                 •   Avoid using the "Reply to All" option when not necessary to answer everyone marked
                    in the email.

                 •  Try to overlook the minor typing mistakes done by the sender.
                 •  Post an appropriate message to social networking sites.

                 •  Don’t share personal information like your address or phone number online.
                 •  Be polite when talking with others and avoid being mean or starting fights.

                 •  Report inappropriate content or behaviour to the platform administrators
                 •  Only accept friend requests from people you know, like your friends from school or
                    your family
