Internet Etiquette - 10 Rules of Netiquette. Etika Internet. Tata Krama, Sopan Santun, Adab, Norma Kesopanan Saat Internetan.

1. When typing never write in all capital letters. 

That is shouting. People don’t like it when you shout at them in person. And they sure don’t like when you shout at them on the net!

2. Don’t plagiarize
Someone spent a long time coming up with their content. When you borrow something from someone, give them the credit. Site their name or their site. Give the site when you have gotten your information.
3. Use proper quotes and always use the whole quote. 
Don’t take quotes out of context and don’t be selective about which part of the quote you want to use.
4. Don’t gossip and keep personal information personal
Don’t tell stories that you don’t know for a fact to be true. And often, just because it’s true, doesn’t mean that it needs to be repeated.
5. Don’t steal those photographs off the web even if they are a perfect fit for what you need
Chances are they are copyrighted and someone spent a long time putting that together. Get permission and give credit where credit is due.
6. Watch your language. No potty mouths.
7. Be patient with internet newbies. 
Know that they are just learning like you did once upon a time.
8. No spamming. 

Remember that spam is unwanted electronic messages or sending the same electronic message over and over. This can get you in a lot of trouble on some sites and as a general rule it just irritates everyone else.
9. If you are using a header (such as in an email) make sure your content really pertains to the header. 

You must admit it would really stink if the header said something about football, for example, and the email was really about your newest and greatest business idea. Just stay on topic and the problem is solved.
10. Avoid overuse of emoticons. 

You know… those cute little smiley faces. They really lose their cuteness when overused and tend to irritate people.
