[gentoo-dev] Re: Slightly different proposal for a Code of Conduct

[Steve Long]

I think this one is a lot better, thanks amne.

In terms of implementation, can't we just get some dev-moderators (cf
proctors) who moderate bugzilla and ml? If a user comes into those channels
they are subject to the same standards, with perhaps a little leeway since
they don't post from a gentoo.org address, and thus are not writing in an
official capacity.

I think that last point bears repeating: imho if you post from a gentoo.org
address you should see it as a professional matter. If you can't stay
professional, don't post. If you *really* have to, use a different address
(and change the full name) so it's clear you're posting in a personal
capacity, and outsiders don't think "omg gentoo people are total assholes."

Imo IRC and user-forums simply ain't broke, although flameeyes and ciaranm
might disagree :P If there's bullying on IRC (wtf?! leave the room and
report it to *freenode* staff) by all means include it. Certainly it would
make sense as it's a dev comm channel, and devs /should/ be responsible for
their behaviour to other devs.
