10 RULES OF NETIQUETTE
Okay, so the internet police won’t come and get you and the bush people aren’t
peeking in your windows with binoculars, but there definitely are some great
rules for internet etiquette that will make your online experience more enjoyable.
1. When typing never write in all capital letters. That is shouting. People don’t

like it when you shout at them in person. And they sure don’t like when you
shout at them on the net!
2. Don’t plagiarize. Someone spent a long time coming up with their content.
When you borrow something from someone, give them the credit. Site their
name or their site. Give the site when you have gotten your information.
3. Use proper quotes and always use the whole quote. Don’t take quotes out of context and
don’t be selective about which part of the quote you want to use.
4. Don’t gossip and keep personal information personal. Don’t tell stories that you don’t
know for a fact to be true. And often, just because it’s true, doesn’t mean that it needs to be
repeated.
5. Don’t steal those photographs off the web even if they are a perfect fit for what you need.
Chances are they are copyrighted and someone spent a long time putting that together. Get
permission and give credit where credit is due.
6. Watch your language. No potty mouths.
7. Be patient with internet newbies. Know that they are just learning like you did once upon a
time.
8. No spamming. Remember that spam is unwanted electronic messages or sending the same
electronic message over and over. This can get you in a lot of trouble on some sites and as a
general rule it just irritates everyone else.
9. If you are using a header (such as in an email) make sure your content really
pertains to the header. You must admit it would really stink if the header said
something about football, for example, and the email was really about your
newest and greatest business idea. Just stay on topic and the problem is solved.
10. Avoid overuse of emoticons. You know... those cute little smiley faces. They
really lose their cuteness when overused and tend to irritate people.
Following these simple guidelines will keep your internet connections happy and
allow for more “social” interactions. Just like in face to face dealings, internet
users love other users with manners. Manners go a long way in saying who you
are and what you are.

Online Safety and Security
• The internet, truly is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote
your business, gain new friends, and stay in touch with the old
ones. It also a source of entertainment though game, online
communities, and everything in between. But like most things in
this world, there is always the “other side of the coin.” The
internet is one of the most dangerous places, especially if you do
not know what you are doing with it. But there is no need to
worry it; It is never that late. Hopefully, by the end of this lesson,
you are able to consider how you go about your use of the
internet.

you even if you only give out your first name.

vulnerable to being search for using search engines, which include image search.

your full name would be.

school(S) purposes.

number would not want random strangers to text or call you, or worse, pretend that they are someone else.

question whenever you lose your password.
7. Siblings name Disclosing this a huge risk. Strangers may pretend or use their identity to dupe you.

your address is a whole other level

you or something made from somebaody else’s creativity.
