I was reading 'Sojourners' this morning and came across this 'code of comment.' Interesting, but I wonder given most of the comments I get for my wonderful, insightful, brilliant, and reasonable threads and posts, could this work on USMB. We should all try it for a day or so. midcan
'Comment Code of Conduct'
"I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagreeeven if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)
I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)
I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)
I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)
I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Sojourners staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)"
