I tend to be pretty conservative in general, and I don't have alot of tolerance for what I deem to be stupid perverse activity on the Internet. If I were the judge in the case for Bob and Carleen Thomas, I would have been livid. I feel that the whole scenario involving their website and the content that they were spreading is a waste of time, energy, money and life. Therefore, my company website policy would come from a very "no-nonsense" stance. If my employees contributed anything of a questionable nature to the website, it would be grounds for termination. First of all, a company website is established to foster productivity and professionalism. If you post something that doesn't further or enhance the culture and climate of the company, why are you working for me in the first place?
The Miller Test takes into consideration three different points to evaluate content and deem it to be either acceptable or unacceptable. My website would simply state that anything of a questionable or inappropriate nature would be grounds for termination. There wouldn't be three points to consider, what appropriate and inappropriate for the work place is pretty black and white. If someone has a discrepancy on what is black and white...I would have to reconsider whether or not they have the intellectual capacity to intelligently carry out the responsibilities of their job.

Good response. I think making things black and white for folks will help maintain high expectations in your organization.
