My blogging policies

21Dec07

As I mentioned in my last posting, I am developing a policy for my blog. The idea is not to restrict participation in any way. It is really to manage expectations about what turn’er around! PR is about (I’ve changed the blog name to make it shorter and easier to remember). I have done some research on this and have put together something with input from the blogging policies and codes of conduct from prworks.ca, Yahoo!, IBM and O’Reilly Radar.

This is a work in progress so comments on this are greatly appreciated.

The postings on this site are my own and do not in any way represent my employer’s or its clients’ positions, strategies or opinions.

Disclosure

If you think I haven’t been transparent in any post, leave a comment and I’ll address it. There is always the possibility that I forgot or didn’t know.

Please stand behind your comment. I don’t appreciate anonymous or pseudonymous comments, especially if they are provocative or critical. I’ll decide the fate of these kinds of comments on a case-by-case basis.

Off topic comments may be moved or removed.

Racist, sexist, or intolerant comments or those with excessive profanity may be edited or removed completely.

Josh Turner’s promises

I promise to:

Try to aAdd value and provide worthwhile information and perspective.

Respect my audience.
I will never use ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, etc., and show proper consideration for others’ privacy and for topics that may be considered objectionable or inflammatory – such as politics and religion.

Not pick fights.
I won’t say anything online that I wouldn’t say in person. I will strive to be the first to correct my mistakes and won’t alter previous posts without indicating that I have done so.
