• Rule No. 1: 'Remember the human. You need to remember that you are talking to a real person when you are online. The internet brings people together who would otherwise never meet. Remember this saying when sending an email: Would I say this to the person’s face'
• Rule No. 2: 'Adhere to the same standards online that you follow in real life. You need to behave the same way online that you do in real life. You need to remember that you can get caught doing things you should not be doing online just like you can in real life. You are still talking to a real person with feelings even though you can’t see them'
• Rule No. 3: 'Know where you are in cyberspace. Always take a look around when you enter a new domain when surfing the web. Get a sense of what the discussion group is about before you join it'
• Rule No. 4: 'Respect other people’s time and bandwidth. Remember people have other things to do besides read your email. You are not the center of their world. Keep your post and emails to a minimum by saying what you want to say. Remember everyone won’t answer your questions'
• Rule No. 5: 'Make yourself look good online. Be polite and pleasant to everyone. Always check your spelling and grammar before posting. Know what you are talking about and make sense saying it'
• Rule No. 6: 'Share expert knowledge. Ask questions online. Share what you know online. Post the answers to your questions online because someone may have the same question you do'
• Rule No. 7: 'Help keep flame wars under control. Netiquette does not forgive flaming. Netiquette does however forbid people who are flaming to hurt discussion groups by putting the group down'
• Rule No. 8: 'Respect other people’s privacy. Do not read other people’s mail without their permission. Going through other people’s things could cost you, your job or you could even go to jail. Not respecting other people’s privacy is a bad netiquette'
• Rule No. 9: 'Don’t abuse your power. Do not take advantage of other people just because you have more knowledge or power than them. Treat others as you would want them to treat you if the roles were reversed'
• Rule No. 10: 'Be forgiving of other people's mistakes. Do not point out mistakes to people online. Remember that you were once the new kid on the block. You still need to have good manners even though you are online and cannot see the person face to face'
