I will always 100% support the adoption of a CoC drafted by people with experience in dealing with discrimination, harassment, and toxic behaviour. It is impossible to understate just how much gets swept under the rug without one, and increasingly, the lack of one itself tends to attract toxic people who use terms like "virtue signalling" unironically.
The GFW/Strange Loop CoC is well worn and considered and would be as good as any we'd be liable to come up with ourselves. Nothing about a document saying "hey, don't be an ass" implies that the reader themselves, or the community, are asses. Only that the community values not being an ass, and those who might wish to join that community and not be an ass are welcome, and that those who have had to deal with too many asses will hopefully find fewer here. For the unconvinced, I really appreciated Graydon Hoare's perspective on why he implemented the Rust CoC. https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6ewjt5/question_ about_rusts_odd_code_of_conduct/didrult/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/6ewjt5/question_ about_rusts_odd_code_of_conduct/dif1xvb/ On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 9:44 PM, Leif Andersen <l...@leifandersen.net> wrote: > RacketCon 2017 should have a code of conduct, as pointed out by Claire on > twitter [1], and I absolutely agree.
