Netiquette – “Conventions of behavior for the Internet designed to ease social friction.”

In this unit, I learned the importance of seeking out and following the guidelines of the Internet and its many users. Certain sites are meant for specific things and including material that doesn’t fit the subject matter is offensive and disliked by most. Also, it is always better to ignore trolls and be weary of spreading rumors or perpetuating myths. Sometimes it can seem awkward and a little creepy to “investigate” pages and read the comments and posts of others, but it is necessary in order to contribute fully and beneficially.
