Unfortunately, you can't legislate kindness. The best you can do is harness jerks - that's what capitalism does; that's what stackoverflow does. The problem is high-karma jerks, because "maybe they are right to be a jerk about your helpfulness" and you can't do anything about them anyway. Traditional clubs/organisations like Rotary International, masons, toastmasters, churches or even AA might have more insight on making an organization welcoming, yet preserving rules. I would love it if copy and forms could have at least some impact, so looking forward to see how this goes.
