Good points about published blogs aleady being held to some of the same legal standards as are other published materials. I’ve come across plenty of blog posts that wouldn’t be allowed as letters to the editor or columns in print newspapers, and they’re having impact. Several blogs in the Austin area that are heavy with political gossip are “must reads” at the Capitol. They’re having impact. It’s just a matter of time before the legislators decide to “do something about them.”
My experience is that we’ll want to get out ahead of the reaction at the state and national capitols before they begin.

Speaking for me, and not for Social Media CLub, I refer those who wish to impose a Blogging code of conduct to :
http://www.amazon.com/Theres-Such-Thing-Business-Ethics/dp/0446532290/ref=sr_1_1/104-2125097-4452753?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176163565&sr=8-1
John Maxwell’s _There’s no such thing as Business Ethics_ which talks about treating others better than you wish to be treated. It also notes that business ethics is ethics - you either have ethical conduct or you don’t. I don’t feel I need a special code to treat others well, that’s the way I live.
I have several problems with Tim’s code, including the lack of anonymous comments - yes, I reserve the right to delete anon comments that don’t add anything, but I ALSO reserve judgement to value those comments on their merit.

[...] However well-intentioned O’Reilly’s efforts, a one-size fits all Code of Conduct and the inherent social pressure for trendsetting bloggers to subscribe to such a code is backfiring. One problem with the current draft of the Code of Conduct is that it does not reflect the diversity of social expectations inherent in communities across the blogosphere nor acknowledge that individual bloggers may have enormously different approaches when dealing with social transgressors that are difficult to codify.
