Don’t Be an Idiot, part two

by Scott Jangro on 13 April 2007

Tim has published a follow up to his Blogger’s Code of Conduct, complete with an analysis on all of the feedback he’s received, including the use of badges and icons, the need for a “modular” code of conduct, “mechanism”, and even legal issues.

It’s more serious than I thought.

What’s next, a book from O’Reilly Press with a unicorn on the front cover?

Following on the idea of our suggested alternative banner, we’ve put together a quick resource site: DontBeAnIdiot.org. Have a look.

UPDATE: As I find them, I’ll post the blogs that have adopted or written about the DBAI badge. If I’ve missed yours, please comment here.

    From his own pages he admits that most everything in the Bloggers' Code of Conduct needs serious work. If it needs that much tweaking then its just saying something on every issue like the rest of the blog.
