Lalala... Nothing much to post today so let's do a little trivial time!
The Blogger's Code of Conduct is a proposal by Tim O'Reilly for bloggers to enforce civility on their bloggers by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog.
O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas:
- Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
- Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
- Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
- Ignore the trolls.
- Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
- If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
- Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.
Taken from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogger%27s_Code_of_Conduct I didn't know there was a blogger code of conduct before this... Hehe... Anyway it's a proposed idea. Everyone can choose to or not to follow. I'm not sure it's a typo error or what but isn't it supposed to be "for bloggers to enforce civility on their
blogs by being" instead of "for bloggers to enforce civility on their
bloggers by being"?
Anyway point number 5. It says take the conversation offline... But what if the person is someone you don't know and never seen before. Like maybe other bloggers on the net. How are you supposed to take the conversation offline? Okok... I'm being a bit lame here... Hehe...
Point number 7 is good. Don't say anything you won't say in person online. If you don't dare to say it in person because of some undesirable things that will happen, why would you post it online?
That's all for the Blogger's code of conduct. Maybe I'll find something else more interesting next time. In fact I should find something else more interesting to replace this post... Haha... Anyway I should do a little bit on the current place we are in now. The blogs! So this is a good start. School starts tomorrow. I'll go prepare... I don't have any idea what else I missed out though... Haha... Bye!
