I wrote the Code of Ethics before this site had 100 articles well over a year ago. At the time, I was concerned about people coming on a just turning the site to trash by making fun of people and being cruel. Now that we have a better understanding of the site, it might be time to re-write the code. In fact, reading it now, I don't agree with a lot of what it says (though I do remember why I wrote it). It broadly protects "groups", but I feel now that the site should be able to be critical of power structures on campus without being concerned that, yes, campus safety is a group. I am also concerned about it's consistent desire for "objectivity", whatever that means. Years of working on a newspaper have made me more and more frustrated with this concept. Objectivity does not exist, but you can use your judgment to make sure a statement is not deliberately misleading. Perhaps that is a better way of discussing the issues on this page. Are the descriptions deliberately misleading? If so, those concerns should be addressed and discussed. Perhaps different grades of certainty for each allegation would be a good idea, with those completely unfounded in one spot, and those very well-supported in another. My concern about creating a new namespace is that the pages will not appear in search, and will thus be removed from the site. It might also give the idea that if that is the forum, then the rest of the site is not (which is not true). The site needs to declare itself a forum, and then explain itself as clearly as possible when it needs to, I think. There can also be a Student Senate power abuse page or administration power abuse page or something with the same careful explanation of how the page works on each, since they are indeed more sensitive than other pages. But separation just seems an unnecessary step. Should we change the Code of Ethics? Or should I just go away since I graduated? haha. BTW, who wants to take over the site? You can say you own a sweet web site! [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 16:56, 23 June 2008 (CDT) | I wrote the Code of Ethics before this site had 100 articles well over a year ago.
