It is so hard to decide where to draw the line. At GitLab.com we face decisions like this too and it is impossible to please everyone. We have a code of conduct https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#code-of-conduct https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/CONTRIBU... for contributing to GitLab but not for the SaaS service. You can't allow everything and you can't ban everything, so everything always is a judgement call. It would be nice to vote on these things, but a community vote might generate more problems that it solves. Maybe leave it up to the core team https://about.gitlab.com/core-team/ https://about.gitlab.com/core-team/ but this group is more concerned with technical decisions. Having a committee for these things seems heavy handed too. In summary, no ideal solutions and I don't have a strong opinion about what GitHub is doing here. The advantage of GitLab is that people that don't fit in can always run their own server https://git.popcorntime.io/groups/popcorntime https://git.popcorntime.io/groups/popcorntime
- savage884 11y agoWow. Good to know. I actually just created an account at gitlab.com earlier today because of this. Now I know that was a waste of my time. You want to know where to draw the line? Draw it at staying out of other peoples' business.
- sytse 11y agoI'm sorry to hear you feel this way. Staying out of other peoples' business was not an option with GamerGate, and I'm afraid it will not be an option in the future. I would love a clear choice in these matters but I don't see one.
