Internet etiquette, alsoknown as “Netiquette,” is essential in a civilized work environment or personal relationship.Rules od netiquette are;
Be Nice
The first rule of Internet etiquette is to be nice. Never flame or rant in a public forum. Show respect for the opinions of others, even if you don’t agree, and refrain from name-calling. Avoid saying anything negative about others.
Never say anything negative about your company, your former company, your boss, or your coworkers. You never know what may wind up being forwarded, whether it’s intentional or an accidental slip of the finger on the “send” button. If you are unsure of anything you’ve typed, hold it in draft mode and read it later before releasing the email or post.
Being nice includes avoiding cyber bullying. Think about how you would feel if someone said whatever you just typed about you. If you find it the least bit disturbing, delete it. Cyber bullying may lead to disaster if a despondent person perceives he or she is being threatened.
