SF is for professionals and I think we'd all agree that part of being professional is to act within our various laws and also within a general moral code when doing our jobs.

Every now and then I see questions or answers on SF that are either outright illegal (copying software for profit) or morally dubious (I personally won't help people trying to 'pass off' as other sites for instance - http://serverfault.com/questions/279807/one-of-site-i-have-host-is-not-accessible#questionhttps://serverfault.com/questions/279807/one-of-site-i-have-host-is-not-accessible#question).

How should we deal with this kind of thing? Obviously one man's immoral is another man's acceptable but I'm wondering if we could at least agree a list of things that we just won't accept and what action to take, what do you think?

Handling illegal/immoral questions and answers
