That’s wrong that you feel excluded, I wish you didn’t because that’s a hurtful thing. But the very concept of having any code of conduct is likely not the cause.
Even the exact same document will make people feel more or less comfortable depending on other factors like the culture of an org or the people you commonly run into.
- AstralStorm 9y agoBut it is by design. A code of conduct is meant to exclude people based on their behaviour. Most of these alleged codes have no clear guidelines how to exercise them and so are either ignored or applied to the letter without the spirit. Or the examples are strawmen. You can easily spot these by a nonspecific, generalized language or lawyering up. Our rule set (not some CoC) provides concrete examples of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. (Quotes and actual descriptions of things that actually happened.)
