In business these days technology has taken hold. You can seldom find a business that doesn't use computers and such. With these businesses that use technology and computers, there is a good chance that dealing with the World Wide Web and the Net will take place. To act proper in dealing with these new technologies, you should follow the basic rules of netiquette.
1) Stand up for yourself but try not to hurt other's feelings'
2) Keep an open mind because it's hard to intrepret messages correctly because of the lack of facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice.
These two basic rules are considered quite important. It is very important not to say the wrong thing when you could be intrepreting things wrong. This could lead to saying something you regret and getting punished for it. Each network or system has their own policies and procedures. These policies and procedures are basically disciplinary.
1) placing of unlawful information
2) use of abusive languages
3) the sending of messages that result in the loss of the recipient's system
4) sending of chain letters
5) sending of broadcast messages
6) any types of work that would cause congestion of networks or interfere with the work of others
Permanent revocations can result from disciplinary actions taken by a panel judiciary board called upon to investigate network abuses.
1) Check e-mail daily and remain within your limited disk quota
