Netiquette is roughly defined by some as Internet etiquette.
�
Since the Internet is fairly new, and rapidly evolving, the rules of netiquette are new and evolving too.
The following are a few of the highlights:
Hot Links:
Yuku makes it possible to post a command that will hot link a picture (an image) to a post such as any @Heavy.
An obvious example is a picture which illustrates a story in an Internet news article.
That source article, and illustration/s accompanying it are probably not products of charity. It's more likely the news organization pays the reporter, and the editor, and the Internet Service Provider (ISP), so that the news organization can Internet-publish the article & image/s, accompanied by advertising, which pays the reporter, the editor, the ISP, and the shareholders.
Embedding an image via "Hot Link" in a The Round Table post means that each time anyone opens that page of the thread / topic in which the image is posted, through Internet linkage, that news organization's ISP's server is polled, and summons that image.
The problem is, this separates the advertisers from the revenue drawing source material. And it also increases the source material ISP server burden.
If we posted hot-linked images, we would be using the news organization's ISP as the host of our picture in our post.
It is in effect, "theft of service" of that source's Internet Service Provider.
So what's the solution?
Easy.
For non-copyrighted images, store the image on your own Internet storage / server. That way you are paying for the ISP server burden, every time your post with that image is displayed.

There's more to netiquette than that.
Some regard text in all caps as "shouting". Some consider it rude, or offensive.
Options are to highlight key words or phrases in italics, in bold text, or use underlining.
Different cyber-communities serve differing constituencies, and therefore have differing standards. "When in Rome ...".
We welcome feedback on this, and other topics, @Heavy.
