Christine, a Responsible Nitizen

            "Responsible Netizen aims at helping Internet users to act as citizens of the web and to protect themselves of online threats"

          You!. Are you a responsible nitizen? What are the ways or rules that you followed to be a responsible nitizen?
          Everyone has a duty to be a responsible nitizen. But unfortunately, not everyone takes this responsibility seriously. There are plenty of people over the world who do not know what being a responsible nitizen means and these are the people who destroy our cyberspace. For being a responsible nitizen results in a happy and harmonious communication with each other using the Internet- if everyone else does the same.
          Me, as an Internet user, I followed the "Core Rules of Netiquette". Rule 1: Remember the human (would you say it to the person's face?, another reason not to be offensive online). Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you followed in real life (be ethical, breaking the law is bad Netiquette). Rule 3: Know where you in cyberspace (netiquette varies from domain to domain, lurk before you leap). Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth (you are not the center of cyberspace, rules for discussion groups, to whom should messages be directed?). Rule 5: Make yourself good online (take advantage of your anonymity, know what you're talking about and make sense, don't post flame-bait). Rule 6: Share expert knowledge. Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control. Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy (the case of the snoopy foreign correspondent). Rule 9: Don't abuse your power and the last but not the least Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes).
         Being a responsible nitizen covers many areas, so we as an Internet users we have to followed a set of rules so we can know the proper behavior online.
