Vendetta Players Code of Conduct
After reading responses to my "SAF Complaint," I thought about how to maybe solve the problems encountered with players in the game in general, not just with the SAF or other groups.
I thought about it, and decided that the best way to keep players happy and having fun, while still sticking to our own game, would be to set up a general "Code of Conduct" for players in this game.
This "Code of Conduct" would not be case-specific, and not limiting on the types of players you would like to be (such as pirates or CtCers), but would just outline a general idea of what the Vendetta Community thinks is honorable.
The "Code of Conduct," once agreed on by a mass of players, would set the standard for appropriate conduct between players in the game. It would be like the "Geneva Laws." Players would follow it relatively loosely, but still abide by its general laws.
Rules of Conduct may include things such as:
-No continuous harrassing of n00bs below a certain level.
-No "Station Camping" to kill a selected player.
-No insulting or mocking players over public channels.
etc.
The "Code of Conduct" would NOT outlaw pirating or the likes, but keep it civil and without an exchange of harsh words.
Players that barely cross the line of the "Code of Conduct" shouldn't be reprimanded by the other players. Only extreme cases such as true griefing (continuously hunting down and killing a particular player, waiting outside their homestation, etc.) would be responded to.
This "Code of Conduct" would NOT serve as anything like laws. It would just be a list of what the players believe to be fair and appropriate in-game behavior. It would be like "no shouting in the library," not a law, but if broken repeatedly, responded to.
I'd like to see your thoughts on this idea, and possible additions to the Code. With a lot of positive responses, I'd compile a code and we could use it as a basis for in-game behavior.
NOTE: If you are a pirate or "outlaw," please don't shoot this idea down before contemplating it. Once again, this code would NOT be against pirating.

I'm rather interested in seeing where this idea goes.
1: NO system wars (MAC OSX, Linux, Windows)
Why? Because they are you prefrence, just like music and cars, and colors.
2: Don't Just kill someone because you feel like it, have a good reason to do it, or give them warning and alternatives.
3: if someone is mining, don't shoot them (exempt: pie rats)
4: no treat others as you would like to be treated
5: no WH ganking

To counter Knight's suggestions in a rather light tone.

*) If somone mines outside a station, they do so because they like being bumped. Bump them!
*) If somone mines near a wormhole, its obviously because it should be easy for you to kill them in passing by. Do them the service of death.
*) If you really think you are safe to insult others because youre in a station, go at it.
*) Wormholes are like highways, Everyone has to pass through them.
*) first shot initiates combat, last shot ends it. Don't be first if you can be last.
*) I'm annoyed, I've got rockets, do you wish to be in my way?
