Is there a big problem with murders at hacker events? If there were, then maybe organisers would need to take steps to prevent them. There's certainly a problem with harassment, which is why it seems reasonable to have policies to mitigate that.
- facepalm 12y ago"There's certainly a problem with harassment" And that's where you are wrong - that's exactly the point of the policy, to support that narrative. In any case you don't need a policy to act against indecent behavior.
- prutschman 12y ago> In any case you don't need a policy to act against indecent behavior. This may or may not be true. However, the existence of a policy is a good way to reassure people who are concerned about the problems that the policy addresses to have confidence that their concerns are going to be taken seriously.
