Eroswebmaster, you've made an excellent, poignant and true statement:
The issues if we do not tackle them as real businessmen and women may eventually be handled for us, and in a manner that does not fit our best interest.
Other industries develop Codes of Conduct to decide an ethical uniform business practice. While a 'code of conduct' might be far-fetched for the adult Industry, a need for some kind of uniformity is obvious.
Two things I'd like to see become uniform standards:
1) I'd like to see all affiliate programs in the US, or doing business in the US, adopt ASACP's suggested best practices for adult sites. It's a good idea to lean on this organization... take advantage of it's good name, longevity, industry wide acceptance and support.. with actual practice, not just words. In doing so, you're advertising a sense of responsibility to the Internet at large and supporting one of the most impressive and forward thinking women I've had the pleasure of meeting, Joan Irvine. Things like entry pages, 2257 info... they're what we have to work with and we should...
2) I'd like to see the initiation of a web-wide community standard for 'obscenity', instead of allowing local communities that may be states apart decide obscenity for me...optimally, this would handled by some organization like w3... webmasters already generally agree that bestiality, sites with graohic violence (rape sites) and cp are NOT cool....
Eros... what would you like to see made 'uniform' for webmasters, Industry wide?
