Becoming a flame warrior can be an indication of one’s failure to be
a responsible netizen. Like any other social activity, an online discussion group typically requires its members or participants to abide by rules of acceptable behavior. Flame warriors are not necessarily consciously violating these rules but instead they might, in certain occasions, only be too emotional or opinionated in expressing their thoughts. They may often fail to display good netiquette.
Netiquette refers to observing proper etiquette as you engage in activities over the Internet. It is contrary to what Flame Warriors display. Online discussion members who adhere to rules of netiquette have high respect for the view and opinions of other members and have high regard for courtesy.
Virginia Shea, author of a book titled Netiquette, has these following core principles for observing proper Internet etiquette:
CORE RULES OF NETUIQUETTE
The virtual world does not dismiss the fact that you are talking to another human being who is entitled to his or her feelings
Behavior does not necessarily have to change when you are online. The same set of expectations when it comes to attitude and behavior still apply. Give other people their due.
Online users are using the same space and are also utilizing bandwidth. You can show some respect by refraining maligning this space and bandwidth.
In the online world, impression is everything since people can take any identity. It is important to create good impression and maintain a respectable stature.
Share only knowledge that matters. Do not share knowledge that may not be productive or that may jeopardize others.
Do not provoke or attack others. This way, you help avoid flame wars.
Privacy is a natural human right. Utmost respect of this right should always be observed.
Great power comes with great responsibility. Yield your power over the Internet wisely.
Nobody is perfect. Learn to admit your mistakes and forgive errant netizens.
Alternatively, others suggest the following rules:
Avoid attacking the personhood of another online user.
Do not post multiple versions of the same message. Spamming is disrespectful of other’s space and bandwidth.
Observe clear language when expressing your thoughts to avoid misinterpretation that may lead to misunderstanding.
Think before you click. Information over the Internet move so fast that you barely have control over those you posted by mistakes. Posts are public and maybe kept even when you have deleted them.
Do not veer away from the topic especially in forums that talk about certain topics. Being off-topic is not just annoying but also impolite, intrusive, and disruptive.
Use commo sense. Do not ask for something you are capable of doing by yourself. When asking for help with other online users, it is common courtesy to provide as much details as you can to spare them the trouble of providing for information you already know.
If it is not your own idea, cite the source. Respect intellectual property.
Follow rules and policies as imposed by moderators in forums or discussion boards.
Ideas do not emanate merely from your own personal knowledge or experience. More often than not, you need to consult other sources. But when you do so, you probably sometimes find yourself in a dilemma of how to utilize the information you have collected. Some may opt to literally copy the information and pass it off as their own, or some will extend all effort to cite their sources.

THE POOR DISGUISE
Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper’s appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.
THE LABOR OF LAZINESS
The writer takes time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.
THE SELF-STEALER
The writer “borrows” generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.
SOURCE CITED:

THE TOO-PERFECT PARAPHRASE
The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to out in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information.
THE PERFECT CRIME
The writer properly quotes and cited sources in some places, but goes on to paraphrase other arguments from those sources without citation. This way, the writer tries to pass off the paraphrased materials as his or her own analysis of the cited material.
