Ethics Guidelines IN PROGRESS

This is a page for ethics guidelines.  Please follow them!  The very short version: this is a wiki intended to document plural history, vocabulary, and works.  It should not be used to hurt people, and it should not be used as a vehicle for public shaming.
Locations
Don't give people's real life locations.  URLs only.
The sole exception is common knowledge public figures--for example, Colin Ross's hospital is in Texas, so it's safe enough to say he's probably there too.
Names
Don't use legal names unless the person involved is...
A public figure and going by their legal name--for example, Colin Ross or Chris Costner Sizemore.
Someone whose legal name is a matter of public safety--for instance, Billy Milligan, the serial rapist.
In citations for plurals, use system name, followed by a screen name or member name in square brackets if relevant--for example, "Plures [hessgasm]" or "Zyfron [Z]".  If they have multiple system names (for example, Plures/Sylvans/Fenners), try to use the most current one and make a note of their former group names, to make a searchable trace.  If necessary, make them a PluralWiki page to keep track of their names, so other pages citing them can be updated as their page is.  This will inevitably be challenging; do your best.
You Can Cite...
Locked posts, if there's no other choice, but quote only impersonal general stuff.
Private communications, if there's no other choice, but give details enough for the facts to be checked!  For instance: "private communication between Bob Hoozit and Wendy Whatszit, 4/13/1993."
You Can Cite Them, But Don't Make Pages About...
Yourself.
Children under the age of eighteen.
People you don't like, for the purpose of publicly shaming them.
