NETIQUETTE

NETIQUETTE

Hi, everybody.
WelI,  I've just finished read this 10 points of netiquette . The whole point there was the new information for me. According to the page I have read, here are the four new information that I have learned.

What is Netiquette?
Based from the word "etiquette" means the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or official life. In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online.
So, in my opinion Netiquette is a way of communication through network.

There are several ways in Netiquette that rules the situation in cyberspace,

1. Respect other people's privacy
    Life without a privacy would be feel disturbing and uncomfortable. Well, the reality is the same in the Netiquette. You'd never dream of going through your colleagues' desk drawers. So, naturally you wouldn't read their email either. However, the expectation wasn't goes same as the reality. Because a lot of people do that, they read their colleagues email. As the fact, in 1993 tells that a highly regarded foreign correspondent in the Moscow bureau of the Los Angeles Times was caught reading his coworkers' email. This meaning that there should be a privacy even if you're a boss. It doesn't mean if you have a great position, you can do whatever you want. So, i think respect is all the matter about here.

2. Don't abuse your power
    This part is connected with the first part. So, when we're talk about power, we're talk about humilty. How come you if you can respect people but you abuse your power? That's doesn't make sense. Respect and humilty can't be separate. Same thing goes in Netiquette, knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them. So, use your power to lift up each other.

3. Be forgiving of other people's mistakes
    When we learn how to walk, we can't just walk without a fall or even run so quick like an adult. There is a time for us to fall but also there is a time to learn how to not fall again. Same thing goes in cyberspace. There are people who is a network newbie. We was in their kind of level. So, when someone make a mistakes. We have to correct them politely because having good manners doesn't mean we can correct everyone else. So, try to tell them why they have to fix the mistakes. How we respond to them is more important rather than their mistakes. Mistakes happened to guide you not to define you.
