AnalogBoy's Journal: End Users Bill of Rights?

I would like to ask slashdot their opinion on the formation of a formal decleration of end-user rights. More of less unenforcable, but a statement of what we expect should be made and presented to the public for consideration. Things that the user community should expect to be fullfilled in their online experience. Topics should range from the Operating Environment, Advertisements, Unsolicited and Batch e-mail, etc.

Computers above all else are a tool. And if my drill stopped every 5 seconds, played a commercial for a feminine hygene commercial, and would not continue functioning until i had acknowledged that indeed, I was sure I did not want this product, I would be upset. Just as upset as when i'm researching on the web and suddenly 15 new messages of spam hit my mailbox, 2 browser windows pop up, and my theoretical 12 year old son is exposed to a questionable X10 advertisment.

Suggestions should be realistic. Spam is not going to go away - banner ads are not going to go away. But as I stated, We must find some way to.. "Powerfully Suggest" how we would prefer things to be.
Below i've attached my recommendations.

End-users bill of rights

Section A) Advertisements

Section A.i) Web/HTML Advertisements

For the purposes of this section, "Intrusive" is defined as any advertisement that is not integrated statically into the page. This includes pop ups, pop unders, and flash animations.

1. No advertisements should be made to appear as components of the operating system itself, especially a dialog which would commonly be used as an error. This should be construed as entrapment and misdirection.

2. Any intrusive advertisement should have a well-defined and obvious mechanism of closure.

3. Any intrusive advertisement should have a method available for opting out.

4. Under no circumstances should a web advertisement interfere with work. This includes any respawning advertisements.

5. Advertisements on websites should be in the manner of the website. For instance, no material which may be deemed inappropriate for children (Analog - PG-13) on a website otherwise suitable for general consumption (child-safe portals, news sites, etc) (G-PG)

6. Any applications, or instances of applications, should not be invoked by anyone but the end-user or a preauthorized agent.

a. Entry into a websites domain should not be considered preauthorization. The user must have complete and unabated knowledge of the action and the circumstance before authorizing it. Any prompts should be presented in "flat" format, as an additional section conspicuously placed on what would otherwise be the parent website.

Section A.ii) E-Mail Advertisements

1. Completely unsolicited e-mail is not recommended as a method of advertisement.

2. Advertisements in commercial or bulk-email that have been opted into must be clearly marked as such. This includes any advertisement, invitation, or informational letter regarding a product or service.

a. The marking should be defined as the abbreviation ADV: as the first three letters of the subject line.

3. Consumer Misdirection
  No commercial, unsolicited e-mail should appear to reference any prior message sent by the user.

  No commercial e-mail should take a personal intonation in its invitation.

4. Falsification of return e-mail address - the senders address should be clearly visible and unmodified. This e-mail should be an administrative alias.

5. The users e-mail address should never be shared with any other party without the express consent of the owner of the e-mail address.

6. The e-mail should not return any information to the sender without the express preauthorization of the recipient.

7. The receivers anonymity should be held in the highest regard.

8. Cancellation of Subscription

a. The administrative alias should accept unsubscribe requests.
i. The format of this request should be UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the e-mail.
b. Upon cancellation of subscription, the e-mail address should be immediately deleted from the system.
c. The senders of the e-mail message must provide customer response and product responsibility.

Section B) Operating Systems, Kernels, and Operating Environments

1. An operating system should not, barring a critical error of the most serious nature, interrupt the users work.
2. The user should be able to set, Inside of an operating environment, his or her preferred level of assistance, broken down into these levels:
a. Beginner, Novice - Help dialogs, balloons, and interactive assistants enabled by default. Obtrusive notifications for information of importance levels analogous to "information" and above.
b. Intermediate - Help dialogs available, Obtrusive notifications for information of importance levels analogous to "error" and above.
c. Power-User - All help dialogs, notifications, balloons disabled by default. Obtrusive notifications allowed in only the most critical of errors.
i. A critical error should be defined as an error that would, or has, impended the operation of the computer - NOT an internal function of the application.
