Etiquette? Nettiquette!

Konichiwa everyone! Now, I'm going to answer a few questions on Nettiquette and what it's all about

1. Write down two ways in which you can show your netiquette when youe communicating in cyberspace
Well, I would use nice, pleasant words, not waste people's time and use smilies instead of caps!

2. Why do you think netiquette is important?
Imagine if nobody used Nettiquette, there would a lot of flaming, annoying people and CAPS. I don't think I would like that! So if we use Nettiquette, we'll be able to enjoy the internet.

3. Can you write down some instances of people who did not observe netiquette? What were the things they did and what do you think of these acts?
Well there are obviously SPAMmers on the internet. On one of these websites I go onto, a SPAMmer broke in(Not recently) and started posting in caps :S-C-R-E-W YOU ALL! YOU ARE LITTLE ****** WHO LIKE EATING CHEESCAKE IN THE SEWER! DIE!!!
Simple at the point, a few got offended by this and to make matters worse, the SPAMmer and another SPAMmer starting SPAMing else where. Finally, the Staff of the website got fed up, deleted their posts and accounts. So there you have it. SPAMing can offened others to!

4. What advice would you give your friend about netiquette?
Bassically, Here are a few I would tell:

  • Don't Start Flame wars! This means to use mean and UGLY words to hurt people and then it starts a flame war. Yuck. If you run into a person who uses bad language, DO NOT TYPE BACK. Ignore them, turn off the monitor and tell a trusted adult
  • SPAMing is always wrong, don't post pointless stuff to waste time. Not only are they annoying, but sometimes they can offened others. Remember that story about the SPAMmer I told earlier on?
  • Come on guys! UYN! Respect other's privacy or secrets. If a friend tells you information, don't post it. There are strangers on the internet.

Well that's all I have to say!
