Integrity: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:57, 7 May 2003

Integrity is like trust: if you have to talk about it, it isn't there. So like distrust, which is predictable lack of trust, e.g. checks and balances, there is disintegrity, consistent testing to find lack of integrity.

Consumerium can expect to face at least the following challenges to its integrity:

trolls who seem far to be happy but might at any time bite us on the leg
accusations of bias and systemic bias
plain liars especially those who hide evidence of their lies
Internet Authority Disease (misintegrity)
- bad sysops (those who cannot rise to the good type of troll)
- precedent - using one bad decision to justify the next one
- groupthink - trying to agree with each other, sysop, leader
POV problems like silly Wikipedia neutral point of view
propaganda and well-meaning propaganda techniques that discredit us
accusations that its use of electronics just leads to more e-waste, that is, it is another geek site with only purpose being silly virtual community, that is, friends for geeks who deserve none, and doesn't do any real good or stop any real evil
claims that the glossary is not a valid, natural, point of view

How it deals with these challenges will determine if it is trusted for anything else. So far, trolls say, it does better than any other wikipedia3 site!
