1. Netiquette

2. What is Netiquette?
"Netiquette" is network etiquette, specifically how you should and
should not interact when you are online. Netiquette covers both the
formal general courtesy and the informal established practices of
cyberspace. The internet has its own culture. The standard
conventions of online communication between users are the rules of
netiquette. They are defined by sharing information, the data
shared, who it is shared with, and how it is shared. Internet etiquette
focuses on data and its use. The types of data are text, audio,
graphic, and video.

3. Function
Netiquette functions as a general set of guidelines that can keep
Internet communication useful and civil. For example, sending dozens
of email chain letters to friends may seem like a fun diversion, but it can
be not very pleasant to the person receiving them. Sending large
volumes of impersonal email or other messages to another person is
known as "spam" and is often frowned upon. Specific general rules,
such as sending "spam," are generally considered bad etiquette across
the internet, but specific online communities may have their own
cultures and netiquette standards.

4. Benefits
Netiquette helps users initiate and continue formal and informal relationships.
Additionally it helps keep conversations productive and positive. All
communication online that can be traced to you through a search engine is part
of what's known as your "online footprint." Adhering to the standards of
netiquette ensures that your online footprint reflects well on you. Netiquette can
also be beneficial because it may discourage people from sending needless
communications that can waste other people's time. It can also deter people
from posting inappropriate or unsightly content on the internet.
