What does it mean to have "ethics"? It means to have a set of principles by which you operate that are geared towared respecting the individuals with whom you deal, expecting the same from them, and how come or why. Without getting into a long discussion on the natural basis of ethics, to which we subscribe, I will just say that the intent of ethicks is to treat individuals as if they matter, both generally and specifically. Generally, as persons who have not provoked you and specifically in the context of what you are doing here and why. A code of ethics is a set of statenents of how you enact your set of principles and the context in which it is carried out. For example, If we did not have or support a free society, then ethics would be, at best, irrelevent since behaviors would be chosen by others and implemented by force, coercion, mandate or fraud and, therefore not be subject to individuals' free, deliberate and willing choice. The point of ethics is to be right with the Universe (the sum total of things and their ways of being), be right with your nature and be right with other persons. These last two based on the needs of human nature (thinking, feeling, doing things and living)
WE SUPPORT A FREE SOCIETY. EVERYONE IS BETTER OFF IN ONE. AS THE OWNER OF AN ADULT SITE, WE ARE AWARE THAT THESE CAN BE CONTROVERSIAL. THEREFORE WE KNOW THAT THE OWNERS OF SUCH SITES HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS OUR CODE OF BEHAVIOR
ANY SITE WISHING TO BE DESIGNATED AS A SANDRALYN SITE SHALL ABIDE BY THIS CODE, GET THIS PAGE AND ALL ETHICS RELATED PAGES AND DISPLAY THEM ON THEIR OWN SITE. wE WILL INSPECT FOR THAT BEFORE GRANTING THE SEAL AND WE WILL CHECK FROM TIME TO TIME. THE VALUE OF THE "SANDRALYN" DESIGNATION IS THAT IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE HONEST, HAVE CLASS, NOT A PERV AND NOT A KNUCKLE-DRAGGING NEANDETHAL. YOU CAN HAVE AN ADULT SITE THAT IS NOT A PIG STY.
We have seen other sites like this whose owners want to stay on the right side of thing but their "disclaimer" is in normal "detail" size print and advised them to use large "sub-header" print, as we do, that calls attention to itself. So nobody cannot say they were not notified
