 Characteristics of responsible users and competent producers of media and information

1. A media and information literate individual behaves

properly on the internet.

netiquette
’net’ and ’etiquette
- respecting other users’ views and displaying common
courtesy when posting your views to online discussion
groups.
-
 EXAMPLES OF GOOD NETIQUETTE

• Include context. When commenting on a message thread it is

good netiquette to include a relevant quote from the original
message to give context to your comment.
• Check, then click. Before you post a comment, double check
that you are saying exactly what you want to say. One small
error can completely change the meaning of your message, so
read and read again before sending. We are only human.
Remember that an actual person with real feelings, beliefs,
imperfections and emotions is behind every message, email
or comment. It’s sometimes easy to get carried away and
write something that you would not dream of saying to
someone’s face and can be mistaken for displaying 
cyberbullying behaviour.
• Do you get it? Jokes, dark humor and sarcasm are often difficult to
convey over the internet. So to avoid potential misunderstandings
always indicate the humorous nature of your comment. You could do
this by using emoticons, putting “lol” (laugh out loud) at the end of the
message or by starting with a phrase like, “On a lighter note…”
• Newbies. We were all once new to emails, messaging and forum posts,
so always try and help someone new who is making mistakes. (If you
are new, check out our ‘What is netiquette?‘ section for more
information.)
• Don’t spam! It is normal to want to be noticed in the crowd of people
on social media – but spamming (another word for sending the same
or similar messages lots of times) can be annoying and may have the
opposite effect!
• Be yourself. If you want to get the most out of communicating
online, be yourself. Making up false profiles and alter egos will
only discourage people from talking openly with you and
taking you seriously. Remember that most trolls and
cyberbullies use false profiles, so be careful not to be taken as
one.
• Express yourself. Don’t be afraid to express yourself openly
and honestly. Netiquette is not about restricting expression
but about making it easier for people to understand.
• Allow others to express themselves too. Remember that
everybody has an opinion, so allow them to express it. You
may have to agree to disagree on many issues, but just make
your point and move on. Don’t let a simple difference of
opinion escalate into an argument.
• Don’t SHOUT. Avoid writing whole words or sentences in
capital letters. This is the equivalent of someone SCREAMING IN
YOUR EAR!
• Respect people’s privacy. Don’t pass on another person’s
private information or photos unless you have their permission.
Not only is this bad netiquette but you may also be accused of
cyberbullying, doxing or online harassment.
• Avoid conflict. Trading insults and abuse – also known as ‘
flaming’ – is not good netiquette. It is pointless and negative
and could get you banned from the site. Avoid being drawn into
fights and never post abuse on someone’s message board.
