HISTORY OF NETIQUETTE

BRIEF HISTORY OF NETIQUETTE

     Network etiquette is the informal term that was used to describe group rules for the internet in the early days of the internet.  Netiquette is the culture of the internet. The rules of netiquette are the common practices and conventions of internet use. Netiquettes are the category and domain specific cultures. Groups, companies, and organizations created network etiquette out of necessity. The word was first posted in a Usenet forum in 1982. The same year the word internet was first used.  Netiquette was created as a joke. It was then used to describe effective email communication. List serve networks began using rules for delivering information to the network. For example, The Toastmasters Group I was part of in the early days of the internet had guidelines for using the list serve to email the entire group. As technology has progressed pictures, graphics, video, and other content have attracted more people to the internet for more than just email.  Web Designers plan the cultural interaction of visitors, repeat visitors define it, and NetworkEtiquette.net publishes the official rules of netiquette on that website.

     The term “Netiquette” was proposed as a joke. This term was used to describe effective communication in e-mail. This was first used to companies, organizations, and groups for some necessities. The said word was first posted in a Uniset forum in 1982 when Internet became visible.

Netiquette 101: How Do You Know if Your Online Friends Want to Bang You?

Case Study: This summer, a writer named Grace Spelman aired out a dude named Ben Schoen on Twitter. Spelman claimed that Schoen, a former host of the Harry Potter podcast Mugglecast, had been harassing her online, and had the screenshots to prove it. Schoen claimed that he'd simply been trying to interface with Spelman because he wanted to do business with her and it was all a misunderstanding. However, that didn't account for his frequent messages across several different platforms or him calling her "the one" and joking that they should get married. And nothing can account for him using the phrase, "You removed me from Facebook in a ghostly manner" in an email to Spelman.

What We Can Learn: When it comes to online interaction, intent matters way less than interpretation. Schoen might not have made a conscious decision to harass Spelman, but when someone looks at the mass of messages he sent her—some flirty, some mean, some aggressive, some just downright desperate—it's hard to take it as anything other than harassment.

It's not OK to force someone to interact with you, regardless of the circumstances. It's like approaching a table in a coffee shop and trying to force the stranger already sitting down to talk to you.

Eventually, everyone will realize that when it comes to romance online, the rules of engagement remain the same. There's a right and a wrong time for everything, and just because acting like a goon online doesn't immediately get slapped for their creepiness doesn't make it any less real. I never thought I'd type this sentence, but we should all take notes from the World of Warcraft couple: They used the internet to find someone they shared a connection with, didn't encroach upon each other's space, and now have reached an enviably high level of happiness.

CONTINUATION OF NEWS (netiquette)

Case Study: On January 26, 2013, the greatest Twitter direct message of all time leaked onto the internet. Its sender? J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks. Its recipient? A young—as in, a senior in high school—female fan. The exchange went a little something like this:

Fan: I'm going to your game tonight.
J.R. Smith: Dope
Fan: ^_^
J.R. Smith: Oh really
Fan: Oh really what [smirk emoji]
J.R. Smith: You trying to get the pipe?

Now, J.R. Smith was not the first person to use the internet to ask a total stranger if they wanted to fuck, and he was certainly not the last. But the confidence with which he posed the question, the degree to which he escalated what began as a benign interaction into an offering of sex, the sheer audacity it takes to refer to your dick as a pipe, the way J.R. joked about it on Instagram afterward... Is it any wonder the line became a catchphrase and then a T-shirt?

According to a certain kind of crude male logic, if you go up to a thousand strangers and ask all of them to have sex with you, at least one will eventually say "Yes," even if you get several hundred "Nos" before that. In real life, this would be extremely time-consuming, not to mention skeezy, and might very well get you maced or arrested. Online, this behavior is still skeezy, but it's much easier to ask for sex, especially if you're as famous as J.R. Smith.

What We Can Learn: J.R. Smith being J.R. Smith, the story was treated as a joke, but bluntly asking someone if you can present your genitals to them via Twitter DM is reallyfucking crazy and borderline predatory—even if you're a famous and shameless NBA player. You're just not supposed to act that way, unless you're on a site where it's expected that you'll be sending sexually explicit messages back and forth with other consenting adults.

This isn't to say that meeting your significant other (or even finding a casual hookup/sext partner) online is weird. It's not weird at all! But it's important to remember that the rules of normal society still apply when interacting and flirting with people from the internet. Not every social network is full of horny women in your area now just waiting for you to message them, just as not every building in America is an S&M dungeon.

GOOD EXAMPLES OF NETIQUETTE

EXAMPLES OF GOOD NETIQUETTE

1.      Give context to your comment/s from the original message.

2.      Before posting, you make sure that what you are posting is exactly what you want to say.

3.      If you want to make some jokes, make them humorous not annoying. To avoid misunderstandings, you can use “smiling” emoticons, putting “LOL” or just by starting with a phrase like “On a lighter note…”

4.      Not all of us are very much familiar in using computer or internet. We call them as newbies. Sometimes, we should find time to help them out.

5.      It is very usual to want to be noticed by people on social media. There are lots of ways-but spamming is not a good idea. It can cause annoyance and may have opposite effects.

6.      Some people want to get most of communicating online, just be who you are. Changing yourself will discourage people to become open with you.

7.      Express yourself honestly.

8.      Allow other people to express their feelings too.

9.      Evade yourself from writing words or sentences in capital letters. Others consider it as “YOU ARE SHOUTING AT THEM!”

10.  Respect other’s privacy. Do not pass to another person’s private information unless you have their permission.

11.  If someone is abusing and insulting you online known as “flaming”, you better ignore him or her. Avoiding conflict is a good netiquette.
