Unethical Behaviors Online


I really hate to have to do another post so soon about the goldmonkey forum. But I just could not ignore this opportunity to show people what can happen during the course of forum wars.


Blogs such as this one may pop up on the internet. People post on various forums or blogs about the gripes they have with other forums or their posters.


Now one can chose to do this the right way or the wrong way, IMO.


It seems that the goldmonkey forum has added a sitemeter to their site. That is fine in most cases. I have one here just to see how much traffic I get. The intent of the goldmonkey forum however was not the same. They wanted to be able to see who comes there to read so that they could publicly post the ips of the visitors. Then, they go on to say who they think that visitor is. Oh that visitor lives in Timbuck 2, so it must be so and so. In my opinion that is as bad as giving out a real life name or location of a poster. Not too cool eh?
One thing I will promise here, and that is no real life names of posters will ever be found on this blog. No real life locations or ips of anyone will ever be found on this blog.
Why? Because it just is not the right thing to do.
Just sayin. It is unethical. IMO of course.
