Are you asking if a set of rules used to outline acceptable conduct in project participation has ever been enforced in good faith?
Because they have, and I guarantee you that you've been aware of such enforcement actions in the past.
- Aerroon 3y agoBut do you need a code of conduct to do that though?
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI think it's a good case of visibility; nobody hears about the justified enforcement of a code of conduct, but the odd cases (like the Drupal dev, or Donglegate, or what have you) get tons of media attention and are used as references as to why codes of conduct are a bad thing.
- LexiMax 3y agoExactly. I don't keep a mental checklist in my head of every time someone has ever gotten kicked out of a project's social spaces for being a jerk, it's just a thing that happens and everybody moves on with their life. And it's not like I don't understand the baseline fear of bad-faith actors - I've been on the receiving end of a few myself, as have most of us. However, those fears never really led anywhere productive. What _was_ productive was going off on my own and building new things with people I actually enjoyed being around.
- klipt 3y agoMaybe some are written better. GCC's says "no racism" which can be interpreted as allowing hatred of white people because under some academic definitions it's impossible to be racist against white people. Compare federal law which says "no racial discrimination" which clearly applies equally to all races. The federal law is written better.
