Basic Netiquette Rules for Bloggers
Rule 1: Remember the human
Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people’s feeling.
When you’re holding a conversation online – whether it’s an email exchange
or a response to a discussion group posting.
Rule 2: Share expert knowledge
It’s especially polite to share the results of your questions with
others.
If you’re an expert yourself, there’s even more you can do.
Rule 3: Respect other people’s privacy
Failing to respect other people’s privacy is not just bad Netiquette. It could also cost you your
job.
Rule 4: Don’t abuse your power
Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, doesn’t
give you the right to take advantage of them.
Rule 5: Be forgiving for other people’s mistakes
If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely
and preferably by private email rather than in power.
Rule 6: Do not reveal sensitive information online
Improving your social media security settings is a good first step in
preventing an identity theft or doxxing.
Rule 7: Keep your account information for yourself
Using the same password for more than one site is a risky move, since if
a malicious hacker breaks into just one
account, he can then take over the others.
Rule 8: Use antivirus protection before you go online
Though antivirus is still important for our online safety.
Rule 9: Don’t click that link or online ad
Just by clicking a link in an email or a pop-up window, you could turn your
PC into a botnet slave, allow cybercriminals to inject malware into tour device,
or expose your personal information.
Rule 10: Respect other people’ s time and bandwidth
When you send email or post to a discussion group, you’re taking up
other people’s time. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the time they
spend reading your posting isn’t wasted.
