Whatever you choose just make sure that the enforcement is consistent. That seems to be the key. People know when rules exist for the purpose of selective targeting. See this for what happens when CoCs are applied inconsistently https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/6whs2e/multiple_coc_violations_by_nodejs_board_member/ https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/6whs2e/multiple_coc_v...
- d0100 9y agoI was thinking of this same example. In the end a CoC will be used to persecute unwanted characters, but wanted violators will not be affected. In the end it becomes a monument to the organizations hypocrisy.
- shados 9y agoThat's the biggest issue. I was following a certain community recently that had a fairly elaborate code of conduct with very precise language and somehow always managed to manipulate said language so that one of their members could virtually get away with murder, while other people would get moderated/banned/whatever for the slightest mistake. As long as its impartial (to the extent humans can be impartial...), there's no real problem.
