Hi everyone,
These are the slides my group has created which is on netiquette .
Collaborative Group Presentation (Group 7 No.31-33)

Netiquette is a portmanteau of
net and
etiquette. It basically means manners on the web. Netiquette is very important because it reflects your character and also gives other users of the web a first impression of yourself. In a worst-case scenario, not following the rules of netiquette can cause you to be arrested and punished by authority figures.
Examples of negative behaviours (not following the rules of netiquette) in the web include:
- Shouting (typing in capital letters)
- Using vulgarities and posting inappropriate contents on the web
- Spamming
- Flaming (posting hostile messages on the Internet)
- Cyberbullying
- Infringing others' privacy
And many more, as long as it makes users of the internet feel threatened, uncomfortable or insulted. So we must follow the rules of netiquette and make the internet a safe place for us to use.
(For the self-assessment point, I rate myself 1.)
