3. What is netiquette?
 The word netiquette is a combination of ’net’ (from
internet) and ’etiquette’. It means respecting other
users’ views and displaying common courtesy when
posting your views to online discussion groups.
 As you become involved with online discussion groups,
you will find that each group has its own accepted
rules of behaviour.

4. Rules of netiquette
 Don't spam. That is, don't repeatedly post the same
advertisement for products or services. Most sites have
strict and specific rules about who is allowed to post
ads and what kind of ads they are.
 Write clearly and succinctly. On a site that has many
non-native English speakers, avoid using slang they
may not understand.
 Remember that your posts are public. They can be read
by your partner, your children, your parents, or your
employer.

5. Rules of netiquette
 Stay on-topic, especially when you're new. Don't post
about football in a hair-care forum or about hair care
in a gardening forum!
 Do not post copyrighted material to which you do not
own the rights. Sites vary in how strict they are about
this, but as well as facing the possibility of legal action
by the rights holder, you may also get the site sued.
