From cbedaa1ccb187e79c86bd5ceec8e04db16f8b330 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bobby Burden Date: Tue, 3 May 2022 20:49:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Proposed Update to CoC - Fair Representation This update to the Code of Conduct is meant to promote the fair representation of a member's statements. This provides a rule to support the "good faith" rule to allow admin action against users that are untruthful in their communications in an effort to waste the time of helpful members. --- _pages/coc.md | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/_pages/coc.md b/_pages/coc.md index d6dd400..677ff74 100644 --- a/_pages/coc.md +++ b/_pages/coc.md @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ All devanooga members are expected to follow these guidelines in our community: - {:#conduct-attack-defame-harass} While it is ok to express contrary ideas, it is **NOT** ok to attack, defame, or otherwise harass another person. It **IS** ok (and encouraged) to criticize ideas that you disagree with. - {:#conduct-positive} Bring a positive attitude to all interactions. - {:#conduct-good-faith} Assume that everyone else is being light-hearted and acting in good faith unless demonstrated otherwise. +- {:#conduct-fair-representation} Because members will assume good faith in communications, unfair representation of your opinion, premise, question, or idea in an untruthful or deceitful manner is not allowed. For example, lying about your understanding or premise to solicit people to interact with you is a waste of your time and theirs. devanooga hopes to foster a community of open sharing and continued learning, which cannot be accomplished through wasted effort of experts. - {:#conduct-advertising} Do not use our community as an advertisement platform. We are a community of developers and friends not an audience for your new idea. ## Conflict Resolution
