I haven't seen any version of the CoC that I would object to. Although having said that, I think more details are better than less, in this type of document.
If the CoC is too long, it discourages people from actually reading it.
I would really like to see it finalized and finished. There have been a few non-family-friendly images uploaded to the gallery, and it would be nice to be able to quote from the CoC when notifying them why their image was removed.
Or....maybe the CoC is not supposed to cover the images?? Except for "> - Distribution of illegal or pornographic material in Inkscape communities. " I don't see any language about the gallery -- only about how to communicate, and how to behave in a community.
If it's supposed to cover the images, maybe the words "family-friendly" should appear somewhere, as well as some sort of idea what it means. I understand that "family-friendly" has slightly different meanings between the east and the western parts of the world, especially regarding images or art.
If we want to ban "non-family-friendly" images completely, then I can add a section on guidelines for user-submitted content. I thought that this type of art would be allowed but hidden behind a content warning, and not labeling explicit images as such would be penalized.
Personally, I feel there's plenty enough other sites out there where controversial materials can be posted, that we don't really need to make special provisions. If we're not comfortable about having it displayed proudly on our site, we should politely decline it, and let it find a more appropriate home.
I know this also forces the moderators to have to make some tough choices. This is not necessarily a bad thing - like any well curated collection of art, there are going to be fundamentally subjective decisions as to what is "good" art and what is "bad". Perhaps there is some provocative piece which clearly crosses the line of taste, yet is executed with such skill that we must clearly include it. Michaelangeo's David is clearly non-family-friendly in the geneticular sense, yet it is an artistic classic.
Anyway, my basic opinion here is we need to empower the gallery maintainers with the right to curate, and I don't think we should draw the parameters in too limiting of a way in the CoC.
