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.
