As a blogger, I would honestly:
- Be fair on what I write in my blog
- Write things that I believe to be truth
- Specify my source of information – credit to offline sources and link to online sources
- Specify clearly the use of any unconfirmed fact or information
- Avoid conflict of interest – clearly disclose my position including job, financial interest, affiliation and relationship if they related to the post OR maintain a detailed About Me page
- Clearly differentiate between advertisements and blog contents
- Disclose clearly if an entry is posted sponsored or as advertisement or after accepting a payment or goods to write it
- Admit and correct mistakes as soon as possible but only with strikethrough or editorial notes
- Allow comments to engage audience, allow different opinions and clearly state my moderation policy if any
- Show compassion for human being – be sensitive writing about or using photos of victims
- Promote freedom of speech
As a blogger, I never:
- Completely rewrite or delete an entry
- Threaten people and institution using the blog for personal benefits
- Write anything undermining nationality, national security, religious harmony and social order
- Give space to pornography, hate speech and crude content
- Publish personal and confidential information of people collected during their visit to my blog
- Spam, spread malware and viruses and engage in criminal activities
- Plagiarize – copy and paste from other sources
- Disclose the source of primary information without source’s consent
