("net etiquette")
1. Remember every user is a real person! The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people's feelings! And when you do find a piece of useful information, or just something you like, leave a message to say thanks. Think of how happy you feel when someone comments on things you post.
2. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life In real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, either by disposition or because we're afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that there's a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace. That is simply not the case! When you're visiting someone else's website, you are a guest in their house. If the website is open for visitors it means they welcomed you with open arms, so it's would be rude to make a mess!
3. When in Rome, do as the Romans do When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you, take a look around. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act. Then go ahead and participate. At XIHA Life, we are a friendly community. It's ok to post questions, talk about any subject that is of interest and it's always cool to reply to other people's posts and leave comments to home spaces and blogs. It is not ok to spam the forum or other members with ads, or show abusive behavior.
4. Respect other people's time and bandwidth It's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labor-saving devices than our grandparents (or even our parents!) did. When you upload photos or post to forum, you're taking up other people's time (or hoping to). It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted. What this means is, check where you post. Pick the right topic from the forum. Keep to the subject. Don't upload a full catalog of photos you just copied off the internet. Don't go over a jokes website and copy every single joke you find. Do post of anything that you are interested in, but think before you post - would I like to read this? If the answer is yes, chances are there are other people who would, too.
5. Make yourself look good online As in the world at large, most people who communicate online just want to be liked. Networks -- particularly discussion groups -- let you reach out to people you'd otherwise never meet. And none of them can see you. You won't be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing. You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing, the photos you post, and so on. For most people who choose to communicate online, this is an advantage; if they didn't enjoy using the written word, they wouldn't be there. So spelling and grammar do count. When posting photos, think if you would feel comfortable showing them to your friends, in person. Use the Preview to check your postings before sending them to see how they look to other people! When posting comments to other people's postings or home spaces, it's nice to say something positive like "cool" or "nice". But it's ever better to come up with something more original, to express your feelings! Bring out your personality!
6. Share expert knowledge The strength of cyberspace is in its numbers. The reason asking questions online works is that a lot of knowledgeable people are reading the questions. And if even a few of them offer intelligent answers, the sum total of world knowledge increases. The Internet itself was founded and grew because scientists wanted to share information. Gradually, the rest of us got in on the act. Sharing your knowledge is fun. It's a long-time net tradition. And it makes the world a better place. And remember - when other people share their knowledge, open your mouth and say thanks. This way it's pretty much a guarantee they will keep doing it! 
7. Help keep flame wars under control Does Netiquette forbid flaming? Not at all. Flaming is a long-standing network tradition (and Netiquette never messes with tradition). Flames can be lots of fun, both to write and to read. And the recipients of flames sometimes deserve the heat. But Netiquette does forbid the perpetuation of flame wars -- series of angry letters, most of them from two or three people directed toward each other, that can dominate the tone and destroy the camaraderie of a discussion group. It's unfair to the other members of the group. And while flame wars can initially be amusing, they get boring very quickly to people who aren't involved in them.
8. Respect other people's privacy Of course, you'd never dream of going through your colleagues' desk drawers. Naturally you wouldn't read their email either. Don't try to access information that is not meant for you and if you do learn something private - keep it that way. Don't gossip behind other people's backs - it often comes back to you later and it almost never has a good ending.
9. Don't abuse your power Some people in cyberspace have more power than others. There are webmasters, moderators, experts and system administrators in every system. Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them!
10. Be forgiving of other people's mistakes Everyone was a network newbie once. So when someone makes a mistake -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. |
figures.... i really loved it.

| Yeah, well it's pretty much common sense I think. This is based on the commonly used "netiquette" across the internet, modified to better match XIHA Life. You could sum it up with the classic "treat others like you would like them to treat you"... |

I think it is nice to read but the pictures give meaning another perspective. Also if ther'e dolls it is a god idea. Most of the webb users do not have a picture of the meaning in there head. Well done. And yea it comone sence. Normal behavior and a little bit thinking how like I to have it in the Internet.  |
