LESSON 40
Netiquette


V1: I’m really upset. I’ve just been banned from my newsgroup.
V2: But why?
V1: It was because I didn’t respect the rules of netiquette. But I don’t know what they are!
V2: Oh dear, neither do I.

When on the net, respect the rules of netiquette! DON’T WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS - IT LOOKS AS IF YOU’RE SHOUTING!!! Don’t use a tiny or an unusual font – other people might not be able to read your message. And don’tusecomplex formatting – make life easy for other people.

Here are some more things you shouldn’t do. Don’t mail-bomb other people, even if they’ve mail-bombed you. Don’t send spam – unwanted adverts promoting products and services. It’s virtual junk mail! And remember – on many sites advertising simply isn’t allowed!

Remember – refrain from flaming on the internet. Don’t send angry e-mails, even if you’re annoyed. Don’t use offensive language and don’t send offensive pictures.

The Big Moderator is watching you and reading your e-mails. If he doesn’t like what you do – he may ban you from your group. And if you’re a persistent offender – the net police could punish you!

Yes, if you’re a persistent offender, the netpolice might punish you. They’re internet users – volunteers who take action to punish other people.

They might send you an angry e-mail, or r… er… hmm … send you lots of useless e-mails that clog up your in-tray. They might MAIL-BOMB YOU!
