Netiquette
Netiquette is important especially for internet users. As we know that
internet as a community to share a lot of information that enable all
the things to be exposed. So netiquette (networking etiquette) will be
needed as the basic role for internet users. So, what is actually Nettiquette?
Netiquette covers not only
rules of behavior during discussions but also guidelines that reflect
the unique electronic nature of the medium. Netiquette usually is
enforced by fellow users who are quick to point out infractions of
netiquette rules. The summary of email rules in the information below is
based on published sources such as Shea's (2004) online book,
Netiquette. The word netiquette is a combination of ’net’ (from internet) and
’etiquette’. It means respecting other users’ views and displaying
common courtesy when posting your views to online discussion groups. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/guides/about-netiquette)
Some cases that we found
for example a lot of people without knowing netiquette write/share
something in social media with their own opinion and unconsciously it be
harmful other people. I think that almost Indonesian society lack of understanding what is netiquette and how to apply it in the real
situation when using internet. Hope that there is socialization to
introduce deeper how important netiquette for net users especially for Indonesian.
