I generally find the term "netiquette" to be quite unpleasant, because it is historically frequently applied in user hostile manner, where people repeatedly rebuke (new) contributors/participants who don't follow the "rules", which has the effect of discouraging engagement with the project. Contributor guidelines are fine, but it is important to accept, expect and tolerate that people are *NOT* going to following the guidelines, for a variety of reasons. IMHO the application of "netiquette" rules in a particular scenario is usually a sign that the tools being used are inadequate for the job they're be applied to.
