Without Internet there is no future ...so everybody have to keep the code of conduct and ethics..but I hate sometime my net goes down and when I try to find other Wifi ,..then some people challenging my ethics😕 but I learned one of the best thing about the Internet is how quickly you can offend the maximum amount of people with minimum effort😃

Morals & ethics ought to exist everywhere, but in many places, people like to forget them. Internet is no exception. 😆

That said, my comment seems to be very generalizing. I have come across some brilliant people through Internet. It's just few idiots who give everything a bad name.

My motto stands as if you wouldn't do it in real life, don't do it in virtual life. Following that helps me because I do realize that it is pretty easy to lose yourself online and to allow yourself to believe that what happens here doesn't matter. At the end of the day, it does matter. You may think that logging off/editing/self-banning yourself will make your actions go away, but this is still real life. What you do and how you behave all stays with you. Yeah, no one else may come and ask you why you said what you said, but do whatever it takes to keep your conscience clean.



that's also a pretty bad idea. By doing that, you are treating your virtual life on par with your real life, which causes you to take it too seriously. There's no need to turn into mr. hyde, but there's no need to stay Dr. Jekyll either on the net. For example, I make the rudest comments on youutube or IF, which I wouldn't dream of saying in real life, apart from a few friends that is. Virtual life is a relaxed version of reality, where you can sweep a few dust pieces under the mat. A few.

Morals and ethics actually depend upon personal choice if they are to be followed or ignored in real or virtual world in one or both. Its individual choice,if they chose to follow it or not.
I don't think freedom of expression is valued anywhere in real world. Its one rule which is written in law but followed rarely. Freedom of expression of sometime curbed sometime misused in virtual world through cyber bullying.

When you think about it, besides chat rooms, most of the forums are moderated, just how it is in IF. If one ventures to an anonymous bulletin board and expects courtesy, respect or even a decent treatment, then it might not be possible. It's not that people are not capable of it; its just that venting out without a moral/social filter attached between words that come to brain and fingers that type those words on keyboard, is much simpler. And they got nothing to lose.

Freedom of expression: Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "right" thing. There was this one bulletin board back in 2004-05 for X-Files where in hardcore fans fought tooth and nail with people who didn't believe in X-Files stuff. Fair enough. But people went as far as stalking them on other forums, cyber bullying and sometimes even thinly veiled death threats. The BB was closed when things went too far.

I know that one of the constant struggles as a forum moderator would be to balance things between what one might offensive vs. speaking out a point of view.

Can we talk about anything under the umbrella of freedom of expression?? I don't think so.
