John, my experience with other boards is that they are not concerning themselves with the ethics. Rather, if they archive, they're taking steps to make the poems invisible to search engines (The Gaz); or taking poems away to a private place when a poet so requests (Sonnet Central); if they don't archive, they're pruning frequently (The Waters, The Roundup).
(If anyone thinks I've misrepresented a board's policy, please correct me.)
