---- Is it Time For a Blogging Code of Conduct?

No they won't adhere to it if it's created, but I believe it might work to stop the kind of abuse that's just been highlighted. It might help make influential blog owners take responsibility for their content (or security!)

Obviously IP's can be traced (except proxies?) but I don't think we're talking about "comment spam/harassment" in the case highlighted in linked article, we're talking about actual blog content, a new or existing blog with an influential author - So if it were possible that blogs could be suspended immediately by an interim court order it would spoil the "game" and at the same time make it imperative for influential bloggers to mind/moderate their content/security in order to avoid such suspensions

I agree that the famous or the highly visual people had always had to put up with it, the first thing a highly visible personality needs to do is hire security, and that security has to have some kind of law or conduct to adhere to why should being a high profile web personality be any different
