You may remember in 2013 I tried to establish a code of ethics for gamification. It got a little traction, but ultimately didn’t get much backing.
After GWC this year, I realised that I really needed to try again, as ethics has become even more important to people as gamification has grown. To that end, I have created the Open Gamification Code of Ethics. This is based on my original code, but I am inviting people to contribute to the development of the code as well. I want it to represent to community as much as possible.
For details of how to sign up and how to contribute, head to http://ethics.gamified.uk. I am looking for someone to create a nice badge that people could include on their sites as well – hit me up of that is something you can do!
Below is the most recent version of the code – it will update as the main code is updated.

I suggest putting this up on Google Docs or a wiki and having the community commentary create the ethics they will adopt.
I am offering the 22nd Code of Ethics from the OD (Organization Development) Institute as an example.

Also I’d write the Code of Ethics in the affirmation and aspiration.

If you go to the page, there is actually a link to the community document on Google Docs – https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dTcnFxhIgmfe4AIMHEy8GxMsKwkvk76RKIjEB8ezA7k/edit?usp=sharing
