good manners on the Internet. The Netiquette
The quality of service offered to the web often dpiende also by how we behave our Web users in the network.
The Web is a "universal" management of information; 'universal' because each individual can potentially access information contained in the network.
Until the mid-nineties, the Internet access was very complicated. The "new recruits" to navigate through the online resources were to ask for help from veterans, then move the Internet requires considerable capacity and competence to be initiated. The need to get help from others in order to unravel in this new space had, among others, an educational effect, with this exchange of expertise will educate new users to the proper use of network resources. In particular, among the readers of Usenet news services (Usenet is a worldwide network consists of thousands of newsgroups), have developed over time a body of principles of good behavior. This set of principles goes by the name of Netiquette: a sort of etiquette ( from French by Etiquette ) Network (Net ).
The ease with which you can now connect to the Internet has led to the next positive data accessibility 'to the most varied types of information by a increasing number of people, a negative effect. New users are often not properly trained for proper use of network resources.
What are the principles of Netiquette?
The set of rules called Netiquette is essentially aimed at enforce and maintain online resources and the respect and cooperation with other Internet users. It 's a set of rules that govern the behavior of a user on a newsgroup, mailing list or e-mail in general.
Each network user is important to recognize and understand their responsibility in having access to many services, sites, systems and information. Entering the Internet leads to a huge mass of data available, in most cases free of charge by other users. Based on these considerations require that the rules of Netiquette is essential to those who give respect, often voluntarily, and have provided loans to enable everyone to access data and information that would otherwise have few assets or even individuals.
It is reasonable to consider that Internet anarchy reigns ordered. There a central authority that regulates what can be done and what is not in the network. The proper functioning of things and the quality of what flows in the network is delegated the responsibility individuale.Si may therefore decide to get on the Internet as civilians, or otherwise, you can use the network behaving as predators or vandals looting the resources in it. It is however clear that things will continue to operate only in the presence of an individual self-discipline and that it is a risk of self-destruction of the entire structure on conduct uncivilized mass of the establishment of a central authority or supervision.
In the words of T. Berners Lee:
"The Web must be able to convey, in an impartial, beauty and ugliness, honesty and falsehood. Users who are all obviously complain and sometimes request that it be organized and filtered. However, not only a central authority for the quality [of the contents of the Web] would be a disaster for the company but also any specific characterization data is merely the point of view of a single person. Human knowledge is not a tree but a network, "See www.w3.org/2002/04/japan/lecture.html
Examples of inappropriate actions on the network can be: the illegal file information on a system; the use of disrespectful language or not appreciated in public or private conversations, the sending of messages that will most likely result in the loss of recipients' work or systems, send spam, the sending of "chain letters," or messages "broadcast" (sent a copy to all) to lists or groups of users and any other use that may cause network congestion or otherwise interfere in the activities of others. However
respect for netiquette is not required by any law. It is based on a shared convention. Ignoring the rules of netiquette involves a general disapproval from other Internet users, often an isolation of the subject "rude" and sometimes the request to suspend some services used to commit acts contrary to it (usually your e-mail and usenet). From a legal aspect, the etiquette is often invoked in contracts for the provision of access by the provider. Disciplinary action taken by a body of opinion called for investigation and other similar abuses may result in permanent revocation of the right of access.
The following is a brief summary of the basic principles of netiquette approved by the NIC, the Italian Registration Authority - http://www.nic.it .

When you join a new newsgroup or a new distribution list via e-mail, read the messages posted there for at least two weeks before sending their messages around the world: in this way we become aware of ' argument and the method by which it is in that community.
1. If you send a message, you know that it is concise, clear and direct in describing the problem.
2. Do not deviate from the topic of the newsgroup or mailing list.
3. If you reply to a message, only the relevant sections of the original message in order to facilitate understanding by those who have not read it, but do not put any systematic the entire original message.
4. Do not engage in "opinion wars" on the network through messages and replies: if you have personal discussions, solve them via e-mail correspondence between the parties concerned.
5. Never publish without the express permission of the author, the content of email messages.
6. Do not post stupid messages or take sides of either one of the contenders in a debate. Always read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about the subject matter before submitting new applications.
7. Do not send e-mail advertisements or communications that were not solicited explicitly.
8. Be tolerant with users who makes syntactical or grammar errors. The writer is still required to improve their language in order to be understood in the community.
the previously mentioned rules we must add the following criteria based on common sense: A
The network is used as a working tool for many users. They do not have time to read messages, useless or of a personal nature and therefore not of interest.
B Any activity which heavily traffic on the network, such as for example the transfer of bulk data, reduces the overall efficiency of network. It is therefore recommended to perform these tasks at times other than those fully operational (eg at night), taking into account any time differences.
C There are a number of sites on the network server (file server) that contain copies of updated documentation, software and other items available on the network. Find out in advance which is the server node more accessible to you. If a file is available locally or on it, there is no reason to load it from the network, wasting bandwidth and waiting much longer for the transfer.
D The software made available on the network can 'be protected by copyrights and / or constraints use of various kinds. Always read the documentation before you use it, modify it or redistribute it in any way and in whatever form.
E clearly improper conduct by a user, such as:
violate the security of files and computers;
violate the privacy of other users, reading or intercepting e-mail for them;
affect the operation of network and of its constituent with programs (viruses, trojan horses, etc..) purpose-built, are the real and, as such crimes are punishable by law.
