From bb1676ca741cb06f415983b2bf9ff1e9bf77131e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Cochrane Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2023 09:51:25 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] Address concerns with code-of-conduct. Leave no leeway for nazis to claim their political views as protected. Generalize the term "law enforcement" since they for some communities they do more harm than help. Clarify language regarding how we'll respond to reports, & correct missed personalization. Should improve the email address we instruct people to report to. --- code-of-conduct.md | 11 ++++++----- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/code-of-conduct.md b/code-of-conduct.md index 97770eb..5b83686 100644 --- a/code-of-conduct.md +++ b/code-of-conduct.md @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ --- layout: page +title: Code of Conduct for the Argonaut Constellation projects --- # Argonaut Constellation's Code of Conduct @@ -14,10 +15,10 @@ This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by Argonaut Constellation pro These principles will be proactively enforced in the process of responding to issues, queries, and discussions; though some violations may get missed.
