What is Netiquette?

Simply stated, it's network etiquette -- that is, the etiquette of cyberspace.  Netiquette the do's and don'ts of online communication. In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online. Netiquette covers both common courtesy online and the informal "rules of the road" of cyberspace.

1.	DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPS. It’s the equivalent of shouting. This is a general rule of netiquette on the internet.
2.	Do not make off-topic posts in the midst of a thread. If you have an idea you want discussed that does not immediately apply to the current thread, start a new thread. If you’re wondering when your class will meet next, or want to talk about some program you saw on TV, use the private messaging system. If someone else has posted something off-topic, do not point that out in the forum, which only exacerbates the problem. Politely notify them through private messaging or email instead.
3.	Do not attack people personally. On the net, this is called “flaming.” Posts should advance the discussion and, while it’s OK for the discussion to get heated, the heat should be directed towards the issues, not towards other members.
4.	Contribute, don’t reiterate. A post that says “I agree” is useless. It’s OK to agree with a poster, but rather than simply agreeing, extend what they have to say by locating other examples or elaborating on the point.
5.	Quote messages if you want to reply to them specifically (see the forum handouts for how to use the quote feature). However, when quoting, edit the quoted material to make it clear what you’re replying to and to make your own post as brief and to the point as possible.
6.	Respect other forums. Do not post in forums for other issues. If you would like to participate in a forum for another issue, contact the moderator of that forum and ask for permission first.
