For discussion of Inappropriate Content by the Wiki Community.
Two general categories:
-
Content that is inappropriate (any content that is illegal, non-family safe content, content not relevant to Davis)
-
Uses of the Wiki that are inappropriate (Spam, SEO Spam, a forum for debate of unresolvable issues)
Should anything be taboo? If so, what?
Possible ideas (add what you want, even if it's just a bud of an idea):
- Threats of any kind. Threatening other users is totally inappropriate.
- Libel (spreading lies via print)
- Creating pages that intentionally mislead users. This is not to say that dramatic or humorous wording is disallowed; just that it should be clear to an average reader when something is true versus when something is a joke or tongue in cheek.
- Anything that might legally be construed as "Hate".
- Confrontational speech is usually edited or removed. Controversial statements should be attributed to those who say them.
- Derisive commentary motivated by gender, race, orientation or political beliefs
- Personal information regarding an individual without their permission. Some leeway might be acceptable for public figures. When in doubt, get permission.
- Pornography
