Bloggers Propose Code of Conduct

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the manners-maketh-man dept.

akintayo writes "The New York Times reports that in response to the recent brouhaha, some technology bloggers have suggested raising the level of civility on tech blogs by implementing a code of conduct. Kathy Sierra, a technology blogger and friend of O'Reilly was subjected to threats and insults from readers and other bloggers. In partial response, O'Reilly and others have proposed a code of conduct which could include restrictions like the outlawing of anonymous accounts."

    Welcome to the Automated Trolling System. Using the latest technology, we are striving for a new generation of /. trolling. We shall usher in this glorius new era with pride in our hearts.

    But how does it work? Using the latest technology called PHP we have optimised a scraping technique to detect new stories to troll, as well as sending POST requests for inserting of the troll post. TrollBot1.1 requires very little human intervention.

    Why not download a copy here?

    Please bear with us while we work out the bugs, and continue to optimize your experiences of being trolled. We also appreciate any feedback.
