It is not something that automatically comes with a COC, they explicitly state it in theirs:
"In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them."
- godshatter 3y agoThat's a big nope from me. The scope of the CoC should not extend beyond interactions in the confines of their project otherwise you get people digging up something people said when they were 12 or making value judgements based on their public lifestyle and trying to get them removed because of it. Pretty much the opposite of "inclusive".
- ratmice 3y agoAs a counterpoint, restricting the scope of the CoC to the confines of the project allows people to harass others directly, via DM's, email, etc with impunity. I am at least relieved by may in "violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them." Which leaves open the interpretation of outside violations by whomever is adjudicating it so as not necessarily to apply to all instances of unwelcoming doormats which may be present on contributors homes. As such I feel like the wording on external interactions is pretty reasonable if interpreted in good faith.
- iudqnolq 3y agoThen you get the ongoing debate in the C++ community about whether it's appropriate for someone with a criminal record of sexual abuse to have a trusted role at in person events.
- mikecoles 3y agoIt's never appropriate to trust someone confirmed to have sexually abused another. There's no debate.
