Who  am I kidding? Anyways when say manors I mean being a good person. If you are a person in real life who uses manor all the time then this should be easy. Good netiquette manors is a lot like real life manors. One way to have good netiquette manors is to respect someones privacy. If someone doesn't want to be known, don"t push them. You may be a super star in cyberspace, but there are people who are just starting to learn. Some good manors to show newbies is to give your amazing advice and to forgive someone if they made a mistake. A person with good manors keep this "golden rule" in mind. Treat others how you want to be treated. That is one very good piece of advice. For people who have social media, ask before you post something about a person. They may not want you to post something because it is private to them or there family.

When I say manors I don't mean, "pardon me good sir." Although if everyone did that it would mean world peace.

To be a good digital citizen, just like being a good city citizen, you should follow the netiquette rules. Some rules you have heard before. For example, don't plagiarize, don't take photographs off the web, or if your using a quote use the whole quote, and not taking just the parts you like about it. Things like that. There are some more netiquette rules that some people don't know about. Here is a common one that people do, even though they know they shouldn't. Spamming is an constant sending of the same message or just a plain out an unwanted message. Another great rule to follow, is to not start and to help stop flame wars. Flame wars are when people get into a big argument and no one is backing down. If you feel like someone is trying to make you mad, then they might be doing it on purpose. There are people that we call trolls, who actually look to start flame wars. Keep calm and walk away from the situation. When on line, there are people who like to stay anonymous. If you are a person who likes to stay anonymous then don't do things you know you shouldn't just because no one will find out you did it. Two things wrong about that, one, someone can find out it was you, and two,  would you like someone to do that to you?

The first thing that should be known is that you should always reread what you have written before sending it. Visual is a big part of communication. When your texting something, there isn't much tone or any facial expression. So be careful what you send. When texting a friend, we sometimes use abbreviations like idk or u. These are okay when talking with someone but, when in a formal conversation don't use those abbreviations. If you are wanting to show emotion never use all capitals. This can be shown as shouting at the person your texting. Another thing you shouldn't do when trying to show emotion, is
the over use of emojis. Gossip is something that can easily be spread through social media, text, or any other way of internet communication. Just remember don't spread things that you will regret spreading. Lastly, and one of the most important is, don't use bad language. That one is pretty standard but people still do it and it just isn't needed.
