What Hacker News says
15 sourcesI've never seen a CoC used to help protect a community, only to protect certain already powerful members within a community and give them a tool with which to beat others.
Lately I've been actively avoiding giving my time to open source projects that have CoC's like the Contributor Covenant[1], mainly because - if my experience is anything to go by - they are a strong signal that the kind of people I wish to avoid will be involved. I want to contribute things that (hopefully) improve the world in objective ways, not be involved in the wrangling and petty politics of a fiefdom just so I can get something like a bug report considered.
If I had to choose one CoC to implement, it would be NCoc[2].

In I Violated a Code of ConductIt'll be here soon enough and it'll be interesting to see how it's handled, especially as the parties pushing for change tend to apply pressure as a group to those in authority (in our tech world, project leaders and moderators, but beyond it's appeals to universities or the media…) and flag/downvote (or worse) against those who show any dissent.
The Opal project's little kerfuffle[0] a while back comes to mind, and the subsequent adoption by several Ruby projects of the Contributor Covenant[1] (of which, it never seems to be applied to its supporters - maybe that's just me being cynical). It convinced me that the best way to go is no code of conduct (I favour the delightfully named NCoC[2]) for most projects.

Exactly. Just add the NCoC type of CoC, like https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
or this text:
We are all adults. We accept anyone's contributions. If you are feeling harrassed speak up by yourself. We do not censor, we don't stop any discussions. Nothing else matters.
In SQLite updated Code of ConductSomeone should also point him here:
https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
In Sqlite: Code Of ConductSeems more like them telling people to stop bothering them with divisive CoC bullshit. In a similar vein to NCoC
https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
In Sqlite: Code Of ConductI wonder if the 'No Code Of Conduct' concept would actually be better in many cases. I am curious if this has been tried on any larger communities.

In Linus Torvalds: 'I'll never be cuddly but I can be more polite'Sounds like No Code Of Conduct would be up your alley.
https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
>1. We are all adults. Capable of having adult discussions.
>2. We accept everyones contributions, we don't care if you're liberal or conservative, black or white, straight or gay, or anything in between! In fact, we won't bring it up, or ask. We simply do not care.
>3. Nothing else matters!
In Updating the Go Code of Conducthttps://github.com/domgetter/NCoC might be better.
In The problem with the Code of ConductWhat exactly "did people do to her"?
Vivek Wadhwa wrote a book that she didn't like and upon being "criticized" even offered a free copy of it, she declined and told him to go die in a fire.
Anne Rice called attention to an article about this and she was declared a "bully" and a "harasser".
Ted Neward never had any conversations with her when she asked for him to be "driven out of the industry" and Iris Classon pleaded to be left alone because Randi was trying to use her for her own purposes.
Roberto Rosario was put on a "list of harassers" by her because he followed the "wrong kind of people" on Twitter and got subsequently harassed and she tried to get him removed from speaking at conferences.
These people ARE HER VICTIMS, not the other way around. She initiates these things. Similar with the FreeBSD community, this is the first time Jo

hannes Meixner has ever talked to her, his supposed wrongdoing previously was that he criticized "safe spaces" and "Code of Conducts" saying that he agrees with this: https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
https://twitter.com/xmjEE/status/613083223086768128
Again she attacked him privately telling him to "go fuck himself", that he is a "piece of shit", a "privileged dumbass" and that he is supposedly "giving the project a bad name" while all he did was remaining calm and saying that he has different opinions: https://archive.is/9KGyX
He called this behaviour out after said Code of Conduct was implemented and the Foundation didn't choose to do anything in his favor, this is why he left: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.advocacy/5404/
Randi is just trying to change cause and effect. Nobody was "beaten by the police" in this case and most of these people didn't even know of her existence before. SHE is the harasser/abuser in most of these situations, if you have any proof pointing out otherwise, please feel free to share.
No Code of Conduct: A Code of Conduct for Adults in Open Source Software
2 points · Open discussionI'm more a fan of the No Code of Conduct (not to be confused with the awful action movie of the same name):
https://github.com/domgetter/NCoC
..at least when it comes to the hacker ethos, which is something, IMO, we should all strive for. Think of it as the WTFPL of the "thou shalt not" world.
More to the point, I really fail to understand why documents like the one Github is working on are necessary. Most FOSS projects I'm aware of are quite adept at dismissing dickery in all its forms, rather than adopting a futile (and controversial, and agenda-driven) approach to defining it.
(Huh, someone already did something that's a lot more like the WTFPL. Predictably, it's rather acerbic: https://github.com/ciafwywcoc/ciafwywcoc/blob/master/CODE_OF...)
