NETIQUETTES
Etiquettes are the rules we should follow when meeting or talking with others.
In online communication, we need to follow a set of rules and guidelines for
appropriate behaviour and communication on the Internet. The set of rules and
guidelines for online communication is called Netiquettes, which means Network
Etiquettes.
Email Netiquettes
Some common netiquettes that should be followed while you are using email are
as follows:
✶ Make sure the subject of your email matches the content.
✶ Keep email signatures short and simple.
✶ Don’t send multiple emails just to promote a product or service.
✶ Avoid using all capital letters, as it can seem like you’re shouting.
✶ Put the people you want to reply to your email in the To field. Those in the Cc
field might not respond.
✶ Use Reply All only if all recipients need to see your response.
✶ Proofread your email to avoid errors.
✶ Avoid sharing personal information or sensitive details unless necessary.
✶ Aim to reply to emails within 24-48 hours.
Social Networking Netiquettes
Some common netiquettes that should be followed while you are using social
networking sites are as follows:
✶ Only accept friend requests from people you know, like your friends from school
or your family.
✶ Check your privacy settings often to make sure you control who can see your
posts and personal information.
✶ Don’t post anything that might hurt or upset others.
✶ Do not share other information or photos without their permission.
✶ Be polite when talking with others and avoid being mean or starting fights.
✶ Report inappropriate content or behaviour to the platform administrators.
If social networking sites are magical scrolls, what kind of secret
spell or tip would you write on your scroll to help your friends have
a great online adventure?
