We're a community with a growing and diverse audience and as part of our nature in being as transparent as possible, myself and FEO wish to unveil the community's new ethics statement.
This announcement is one of the smaller ones coming this week, but nonetheless an important one as we make clear the expectations of others and ourselves in how we behave, conduct our work and our moral principles. The statement covers a wide range of topics in which we feel are important that we be clear enough about them.
Anyone can view our ethics statement at any time through the URL featured below, and it will shortly be linked in our website footer, thereby its presence will be on every page of the UFP; that's the importance we feel this statement has.
https://ufplanets.com/index.php?pageid=ethics
Please by all means let us know your thoughts.

It seems to be a well thought out, and well presented, set of values to adhere to. This community is a wonderful place in large part due to the quality of people that call themselves members.
Reiterating the positive goals, values, and expectations that UFP members and contributors are expected to abide by is a necessary and welcome move given the course of recent events.
However...
"We appreciate that every human is equal in our community and our rules enforce as much." - Does this mean that our members who happen to be Vulcan's are of lesser status?

I'm impressed both by the fact that you deem an ethics statement worthy of such attention as well as the increased transparency in CL6 and FEO operations and vision. I think you are doing a great job guys (and gals), please keep up the good work.

It really depicts the sense of character that is expected and required in such a diverse setting like the UFP. Well drawn out.

As a new member this is a very heartening and satisfying thing to see. Having such an emphasis on having a core set of ethics is something quite rare in a gaming community.

Very good! I totally agree with Kalsius' comment!
Three minor typos though:
"We will always our utmost" - There's a "do" missing.
"The primary aim with our journalism teams, are for them to provide" - Should be "is for them"?
"We do pay however pay other entities" - One "pay" too much.

Typo's are just the worst, it attracts the grammar police like no other, I'm surprised no-one has made a sarcastic comment like "Tut, Tut Lynx"

If someone were brazen enough to make such a statement, the public execution would be quite a thing to watch.

I agree with not only the ideas written down, but even more so, the thought and belief that is behind those words. You can tell when people are generally just writing rules or SOPs just because they're "supposed" to. In my short time with UFP, I believe that the Ethics Statement doesn't merely come from the idea to keep things organized and respectful; instead, it is a set of core values that the members hold dear to them and strive to live up to. That is a refreshing thought in today's world.
And with respect to edits/typos I can't help but make some suggestions...
section 2: We appreciate that every human is equal in our community and our rules enforce as much
last part of the sentence is missing a verb - perhaps something like: We firmly believe that every human is equal in our community and as such, everyone will be held accountable to our core values.
