博客行为守则
我们褒扬博客圈,因为博客圈有着直率与公开的对话,但是直率不代表不文明。我们提出这份博客行为守则,就是希望这份守则能协助创造一个鼓励个人思想传达以及具建设性对话的文化。你可以不同意某个人的看法,但不需要闹得不愉快。
1. 我们为我们说过的话(打过的字)负责,同时保留权利来限制我们博客上那些不遵守基本文明标准的评论、回复内容。
我们遵循"励行文明"标准:我们竭力于发表高品质、可为人接受的内容,而且我们会删除那些无法为人接受的评论、回复。
我们以下面这些来判断何谓无法为人接受的评论、回复:
- 评论、回复被用来咒骂、骚扰、跟踪、或威胁其他人
- 毁谤、明知有误、诉诸情感、错误呈现他人
- 侵犯作者权或商标
- 违反保密义务或责任
- 侵害他人隐私
我们以个别案例来判断何者为"无法为人接受的内容",我们的定义不受限于此列表。如果我们删除某则评论、回复或链结,我们会说清楚、解释明白。(我们保留权利在任何时候更动这些标准而不需要提醒)
2. 我们不会在网络上说那些我们无法面对面说出口的东西。
3. 如果情势渐趋紧张,我们会在公开回应之前先私下联络。
如果我们在博客上遇到冲突与错误呈现,在我们发布任何相关文章跟评论、回复之前,我们会尽一切力量在私底下直接与相关人士沟通--或是找一位中间人来帮忙。对于尚未解决的争议,博客应该进行线上调停。Mediate.com 将会提供调停人。
4. 当我们相信有人正不公平地攻击他人,我们会采取行动。
如果有人发表了攻击性的评论、回复或博客文章,我们会告诉他(尽量在私底下),然后请他公开修正他的言论。如果那些已经发表的评论、回复可被视为威胁,犯者也不愿意撤回评论、回复或是道歉,我们将会与诉诸法律来保护当事者不受威胁。
5. 我们不容许匿名评论、回复。
我们要求评论、回复者在评论、回复之前必须提供有效的电子邮件,不过我们容许评论、回复者不用真名,而以化名来评论、回复。
6. 我们不理会戳乐 (troller)。
我们不回应关于我们或我们博客的那些污秽且令人不愉快的评论、回复,只要内容不流于咒骂或毁谤。我们相信喂食这些戳乐只会助长他们的气焰 ---- "别跟猪打架。你们都会弄得满身脏污,但猪就是喜欢脏污"。别管那些公开的攻击通常是制止他们的最好方法。
7. 我们鼓励博客服务提供者确切落实他们的服务声明。
当博客做了这种过份滥行,像是创建假的个人博客来骚扰其他博客,博客服务提供者应该为他们用户的举措负起责任。

The Blogger's Code of Conduct
We celebrate the blogosphere because it embraces frank and open conversation. But frankness does not have to mean lack of civility. We present this Blogger Code of Conduct in hopes that it helps create a culture that encourages both personal expression and constructive conversation. One can disagree without being disagreeable.
1. We take responsibility for our own words and reserve the right to restrict comments on our blog that do not conform to basic civility standards.
We are committed to the "Civility Enforced" standard: we strive to post high quality, acceptable content, and we will delete unacceptable comments.
We define unacceptable comments as anything included or linked to that:
- is being used to abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others
- is libelous or knowingly false
- infringes upon any copyright, trademark, trade secret or patent of any third party. (If you quote or excerpt someone's content, it is your responsibility to provide proper attribution to the original author. For a clear definition of proper attribution and fair use, please see The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Legal Guide for Bloggers.)
- violates an obligation of confidentiality
- violates the privacy of others
We define and determine what is "unacceptable content" on a case-by-case basis, and our definitions are not limited to this list. If we delete a comment or link, we will say so and explain why. [We reserve the right to change these standards at any time with no notice.]
2. We won't say anything online that we wouldn't say in person.
Unless we are trying to protect a confidential source, in which case, we may omit certain private details or otherwise obfuscate the source of the information.
Unless in real life you would face physical intimidation, whereas online you could avoid it.
3. If tensions escalate, we will connect privately before we respond publicly.
When we encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in the blogosphere, we make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved--or find an intermediary who can do so--before we publish any posts or comments about the issue. Bloggers are encouraged to engage in online mediation of unresolved disputes. Mediate.com will provide mediators.
4. When we believe someone is unfairly attacking another, we will take considered action.
When someone who is publishing comments or blog postings that are offensive, we'll tell them so (privately, if possible) and ask them to publicly make amends, unless it is considered that doing so will only inflame or worsen the situation. If those published comments could be construed as a threat or of an illegal nature, and the perpetrator doesn't withdraw them and apologize, we will cooperate with local law enforcement regarding those comments and/or postings.
Comments or posts that are deemed offensive will result in a request - private, if possible - that the commenter or poster make public amends, if practical. If those published comments could reasonably be viewed as illegal (threat or otherwise), we will report the comments and commenter to police.
5. We do not allow anonymous comments, but will allow pseudonymous ones.
We require commenters to supply a valid email address or OpenID before they can post, though we allow commenters to identify themselves as anonymous, rather than use their real name, which is the difference between pseudonymous and anonymous. We can always trace someone pseudonym.
(For discussion on this please visit the talk page.)
6. We ignore the trolls.
We prefer not to respond to nasty comments about us or our blog, as long as they don't veer into abuse or libel. We believe that feeding the trolls only encourages them -- "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. (George Bernard Shaw)" Ignoring public attacks is often the best way to contain them.
7. We encourage blog hosts to enforce more vigorously their terms of service.
When bloggers engage in such flagrantly abusive behavior as creating impersonating sites to harass other bloggers they should take responsibility for their clients' behavior.
