Yahoo has posted a code of conduct at Yahoo Personals.

Yahoo! Personals is an online oasis for single people seeking dates, romance, and lifelong partners. No matter what kind of relationship you’re after, we want you to feel comfortable and have fun while you’re here. With this in mind, we ask that you (and all our members) honor these six simple principles:

I am single I will be honest and respectful of other members.

I will do my best to present the true me in both pictures and words.

I will not be abusive or post offensive material.

I will abide by the Yahoo! Personals Guidelines.

I can help by identifying people who break these promises and guidelines.

“Respect, best, true, offensive”, these words are all subjective. Where are the penalties for breaking the code of conduct? Where is the link to the guidelines?

Identifying people who break the rules is a great idea. Why don’t they make it easier to report spammers? I am surprise that the code is not posted in various Eastern European languages.

What are they going to do about all the separated and “I’m thinking of getting a divorce doesn’t that count” people? I would guess 80% of the online dating population may not be able to subscribe to the code.
