Hello everyone,
I made some edits to the Code of Conduct and I'm fairly satisfied with how it looks right now. However, we need some more information on how we would handle violations; in particular, we should have a public e-mail address of something similar that can be used to report problems.
This is a good question, anyone have some ideas?
I think the general idea is to simply look at the incident and warn / ban people that seriously misbehave. We can have some short reporting guidelines that tell people to send evidence of misconduct to the relevant moderators. 1st offence would generally be a warning, timed ban for repeat offences, and a permaban for serious or persistent troublemakers. Spammers and trolls can be banned on sight.
Do we have anything we can put there? Who should be contacted in case of problems on IRC, website, mailing list, etc.?
A simple approach would be to associate a mailing list with the launchpad administrative team.
https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.admin
Then we could perhaps give these admins access to the credentials for IRC, website, mailing list, etc.
I think there should be something a little more fine-grained. Examples:
Problems on IRC -> message one of the mods (I assume everyone sees who is a mod on IRC in their client interface?) Problems on website -> write to the website admin Problems on mailing list -> write to the administrators Problems on wiki -> write to wiki administrator etc.
I think some of the problem here is that there are no clearly defined roles. Martin manages the website, I and Josh sometimes create wiki accounts, and that's about it.
I can volunteer to be the wiki go-to person for CoC / reporting purposes.
Best regards, Krzysztof
