Increased usage and accessibility of the Internet has led to the rapid growth of cyber communities; typical of groups that have embraced this idea are those who participate in what have been termed alternative or lifestyle sports. Thus far, this online world has received little attention from ethnographers, but the potential for obtaining rich data in this area is huge, most notably through the practice of researching messages sent to Internet-based forums, known as list mining. The inclusion of list mining as a research method, however, is not without its problems and raises new ethical issues when conducting qualitative research. This paper examines in detail the ethical considerations concerning the use of list mining as a method of data collection within the alternative sporting subculture of Ultimate Frisbee.
互联网使用的增加及其可及性促使网络社区迅速发展；接受这一理念的群体中，典型的是那些参与所谓另类或时尚运动的人。到目前为止，这个网络世界很少受到人种志学者的关注，但在这一领域获取丰富数据的潜力巨大，最显著的是通过研究发送到网络论坛的信息这种做法，即列表挖掘。然而，将列表挖掘纳入研究方法并非没有问题，在进行定性研究时会引发新的伦理问题。本文详细探讨了在极限飞盘另类体育亚文化中使用列表挖掘作为数据收集方法时的伦理考量。
