Ethical caution - Lindagerr - 06-19-2008
I can't seem to keep up with the post, but I feel I have to put my 2cents in.
Since I have taken 3 CLEP test in the past month I have read that warning every time. I must sayit really made me pause and think a good few minutes the 1st time and I did make sure to read it fully the other times.
I feel we all have our own interpretation of what violates that agreement. I will not post anything that I feel is directly forbidden. I have no problem saying something like "know who Marx, Weber and Cooley are and what they believe". I am not giving away any specific answers or questions, I am only directing others to some names they should be familiar with. Now if I said "Know who Blah Blah Cooley is and that he is the person that came up with the blah blah method of blah". That would be stepping over the line, it is to specific and to close to an actual answer to an actual question.
As to if the moderators edit some post; that is their right and responsibility. The forum is open to the general public I would not want CLEP or DSST to feel it is violating the rules and close it down. You DO NOT pay to be a member of this forum, the forum is free and anyone can post. I expect the moderators to uphold the quality and integrity of this forum.
Finally I have only one person that I really have to answer to and that is myself. I will not post anything that I feel is crossing the line or forbidden, by the agreement I signed. If I do nothing I feel is ethically wrong then I don't worry about being caught or exposed and I can sleep at night. If I say I will not divulge any specific exam question then I will not. Telling someone an area to study is just directing them to more efficient study.
I must say I have enjoyed reading all the post I have gotten to so far and I think a good debate is invigorating for the mind.

[COLOR="Navy"]Please site the exact posts and questions to me for review.
If found to be exact questions they can and will be edited (deleted) from the thread.
This is the best solultion to correct the ethical issue that you have raised.
What say ye all????? [/COLOR]

Here Here!! Tha would satisfy my concerns per the specific feedback section. I believe that all of us at IC would agree that specific questions on here is illegal and should be edited.
On a side note, I have never seen a thread grow so fast. 52 posts and 825 views in 23 hours... Yikes:eek: !!

Well if we are going to start censoring posts, because some-self-appointed-Nazi thinks it is Test Compromise, I am out of here!
Wow, I did not know someone has taken all of the Exams and knows without a shadow of a doubt, what the Correct answers and questions are for each test.
When I finish my Degree, I will come back and start pointing fingers and making B.S allegations!
UNBELIEVABLE!!!:eek:

I've used the specific exam forums extensively to supplement my studies, and I have yet to see an exact question and answer that was on any of my tests.
I am against censoring posts. What is acceptable to most might not be acceptable to whomever is doing the censoring or vice versa. I'd just leave it at: If you have any issues using the specific exam feedback section, don't use it. Look elsewhere for your study resources.

ok - this thread has OFFICIALLY gotten out of control...

There must be some middle ground. If you start censoring, then you get into the argument of Freedom of Speech.....JUST BE CAREFUL!!

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was [SIZE="5"]INSTANTCERT[/SIZE].

I think that some of us might be missing the real intent of Shoto's question. He is asking if a real question from the test with the answer is posted in the feedback section should he edit or not? To me it is illegal if he does not delete. If questions are allowed to be posted it will eventually cheapen the degrees that we have all worked so hard to obtain and could possibly shut down this avenue to a degree. I want my siblings to be able to use this method and have the end result be the same or even better quality than a B&M degree. I don't think there have been any instances of exact questions yet, but this is a good topic to hash out prior to the fact. This issue is not about censorship, it is about abiding by the law!
