Netiquette Rules
Some rules to keep in mind for your Internet communications…
![Page 4: LIBM 466: Netiquette](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082916/54b415494a7959864f8b459f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Grammar and Spelling
Be yourself – with your friends.
At work be your professional self.
The amount of effort you put into grammar and spelling depends on who makes up your audience and on how you want to present yourself to that audience.

Keep the PeaceForgive and Forget
Most work places include someone who fires off frequent critical emails to the whole work place. Don’t respond in email to those emails and definitely don’t be that person – nobody likes that person. If you do need to respond, talking on the phone or in person will work best. Avoid the “reply to all” button.

STOP YELLING AT ME!!!
Using all caps indicates yelling.

Attachments
Be careful about attaching large files when sending emails. You may fill up the recipients’ inboxes or you may send something that they can’t open with the programs on their computers or with limited bandwidth. Sending attachments is not a bad thing, but do think about whether or not the attachments are appropriate for the recipients.

Netiquette Terms
Some terms to know…
![Page 9: LIBM 466: Netiquette](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022082916/54b415494a7959864f8b459f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Netiquette
Contraction of Internet etiquette, the etiquette guidelines for posting messages to online services, and particularly Internet newsgroups. Netiquette covers not only rules to maintain civility in discussions (i.e., avoiding flames), but also special guidelines unique to the electronic nature of forum messages. For example, netiquette advises users to use simple formats because complex formatting may not appear correctly for all readers. In most cases, netiquette is enforced by fellow users who will vociferously object if you break a rule of netiquette.
