  • I was hoping that our code of conduct could be something closer to the "be nice" model, covering the following points:
  • - Be respectful and polite.
  • - Presume everyone else is doing so, too.
  • - Be open to constructive feedback.
  • - Well-meaning people on a worldwide, multi-cultural platform can *accidentally* say things that are taken poorly. If you're on either side of such a misunderstanding, presume good faith and try to work it out amicably.
  • - If you see something, say something (privately in a flag or constructively in public). We take violations seriously and will follow up.
  • I really don't think we need a bunch of bullet points about what specifically counts as harassment and which special groups we protect and so on. If *anybody* feels like something abusive is happening, we need to deal with it without getting into rules-lawyering ("you didn't say Pastafarians are off-limits!" or whatever).
  • Plus, mine's short enough that people who read any of it will read all of it.

I was hoping that our code of conduct could be something closer to the "be nice" model, covering the following points:

- Be respectful and polite.
- Presume everyone else is doing so, too.
- Be open to constructive feedback.  
- Well-meaning people on a worldwide, multi-culture platform can *accidentally* say things that are taken poorly.  If you're on either side of such a misunderstanding, presume good faith and try to work it out amicably.
- If you see something, say something (privately in a flag or constructively in public).  We take violations seriously and will follow up.

I really don't think we need a bunch of bullet points about what specifically counts as harassment and which special groups we protect and so on.  If *anybody* feels like something abusive is happening, we need to deal with it without getting into rules-lawyering ("you didn't say Pastafarians are off-limits!" or whatever).
