1. The 10 Core Rules of
Netiquette

2. Rule #1 Remember the Human
Treat others how you want to be treated.
This is the Golden Rule. Respect it. If you treat
someone dirty, expect to be treated dirty in
return. This is the same if you treat someone
nice. They will treat you nice.

3. Rule #2 Adhere to the same
standards of behavior online that
you follow in real life!
In real life, most people don't break the law. A lot of the
time because we're afraid of the consequences. Think the
same way in cyberspace. If you run into a dilemma in
cyberspace, follow your code. You'll find the answer. Also,
if you're tempted to do something bad, it's bad netiquette.

4. Rule #3 Know where you are in
cyberspace.
People can track where you have been in
the internet. Say if you were looking around on
a website, a person can stalk you and be mean
to you and just make you mad and also make
you feel bad.
Dont be mean. Be
nice.

5. Rule #4 Respect People's Time
This rule means that you shouldn't waste other
people's time. Maybe they are in the middle of
something important. Lets say that person is
saving the world, but fail because you decided
to text them. Of course that wouldn't happen,
but you gotta respect their time.

6. Rule #5 Make yourself look good
online
Make sure that you spell things right. Also,
know what you're talking about so you don't
look like a bonehead. Make sure you say thing
Also, so that they make sense. Don't post stuff
just to start an argument. And, more than likely,
don't swear online.

7. Rule #6 Ask the right questions
In the virtual world, our strength is in numbers.
Share your knowledge. Don't be afraid, you will
most likely pull someone out of the dark. That
was the reason of the internet. To share
knowledge. Once you pull out someone, you
will talk to them a lot. This is the spark. Once
ignited, more people will talk. Oh, and be sure
to ask the right questions.

8. Rule #7 Don't Let FLame Wars Get
Out of Control
Sure, it can be funny to watch people flame
each other, but keep it under control. Most
likely there are other people in the same place
where your flaming. They may not want to
listen to you fighting. So, if they ask you to quiet
down, respect that and be quiet.

9. Rule #8 Respect other people's
privacy
If you wouldn't want someone going through
your e-mail and other stuff, Don't go through
their stuff. It could cost you a lot of things, like a
job or a friendship.

10. Rule #9 Don't abuse your power.
People on the internet abuse their power
to make people mad and irritated. But if they
abuse the people on the web they would report
them and get them in trouble. So just go on the
web to do your thing.
Don't be mean.
Treat people the way you want
to be treated.

11. Rule #10 Be forgiving for peoples
mistakes.
Some people are new to all the internet, and
don't know any better, so they make mistakes.
Then of course, there is that one group that
rags on them for that. If someone acts stupid,
most likely they are new, and you should
forgive them. Even if they aren't new, you
should still forgive people. In order to have a
civilized place, people have to forgive each
other.
