Maybe if the Honor Code was broken up in a page per code. Read the first with a fuller explanation of that particular code, click “I agree” or something like that, which leads to the next code presented the same way (with a fuller explanation), etc.
Case is point: Me. I joined and great tags, flew through the Honor Code, and started entering profiles right away... with horrible sources (because I didn’t see the difference between WT and other sites at first, and because, I thought, I’d been doing genealogy for so long, etc, being a pompous axx.). I didn’t take the Honor Code as seriously as I should have.
I mentioned this one time awhile back, but for sure, I believe that somethings need to be emphasized right from the get go, sourcing and non-ownership of profiles and trees. And a longer explanation of each of the individual codes.
I also understand that while I do not “own” my profiles, I, like many others who have made the complaint, wouldn’t want someone trashing my profiles with poor work. Still, if I had to ask permission of managers of profiles for permission to add a source, like during the Source-a-Thon, I’d be waiting still for some profile managers to respond. How many times have we seen here the complaint that a manager is not responding?
I think I mentioned before, some months ago, that a video requirement would be good. Maybe a video on the Honor Code would be beneficial. Wouldn’t have to be long, but it would have the benefit of hearing instead of just reading (which could easily be skipped as it so often is now).
Just my thoughts. Not trying to contradict anyone participating in this discussion. All of you have said some excellent things.
