Don't Be an Idiot, part two

posted by jangro on (5 years, 1 month ago)

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.

    [...] The debate on whether a code of conduct for bloggers is needed is still alive and kicking. Scott Jangro has offered a simple yet elegant alternative to the proposed code. I think this badge says it all. It’s basically a reminder to everyone to use their common sense when commenting on other people’s blogs. [...]

    [...] After Scott Jangro read Tim O’Reilly’s follow up to theBlogger’s Code of Conduct article he mused that a book from O’Reilly Press with a unicorn on the front cover might be in the works. I think that’s a brilliant idea and serves to illustrate how a code of conduct for bloggers is ridiculous. [...]

    Well, the main reason that makes blogging so big is rather the lack of a code of conduct. I believe its an animal that should be left in the wild.

    Looking at Tim O'Reilly's web site he should be made to write on the chalbpoard after school 1000 times

    "Dont be an idiot" "Dont be an idiot" "Dont be an idiot" ....

    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.
