Maybe we could have something similar in D community
No. People who need to be told what decent behavior is won't
pay attention to such a document.
I was considering saying that we shouldn't add one unless the
need presents itself, and for the most part, our community has
been well-behaved, but your response is spot-on. About the only
reason that I can think of why we might really benefit from such
a document would be if we did have a problem, and we needed a way
to fairly justify kicking people out of the newsgroup or from
other official D channels, then we'd have a set of rules to point
to that the person had violated rather than it just being the
say-so of someone in charge. But fortunately, we haven't
generally had problems like that. Occasionally, we've had a bad
apple show up and cause problems, but none have stayed around
long term, and things are normally pretty civil around here.
