Spam - Define

Is there anyone on the internet that doesn't know what spam is? :)

Also, the longer the COC, the less likely people are to read it.

Treat everyone as if they were a dear friend.

If someone asks you to stop doing something to them, stop.

Now you know why these things end up thousands of words 😛

Yes, and why they generally are not read by anyone, and why some projects get laughed at for disallowing "virtual hugs" (being too specific).

More specifics means more things for people to pick apart and fight about. Codes of Conduct are not seen in the best of light at the moment, and it's partially due to them being generally overly restrictive and sometimes divisive.

And many times way too specific.

Jobs is interesting just as a concept. Jobs to do, people who need
jobs. that sort of thing.

Invariably, we will get political art. I highly recommend treating it like adult material and keeping it to one particular section. If there's no where to put it, people will put it everywhere, and cause fights.

Conversely if you go wandering into the political art section (past the warning), you know what to expect. People can argue to their hearts content in this area, and maybe just kick back and forth at eachother with art. It's sure to be a battle Royal, which is why it should have it's own section.

One of the reasons we keep the gallery on inkscape.org PC is because we
have no adult controls. That is, we have no ability to hide pictures
from people who are not adults or who have not agreed to see them. Like
deviantArt's or Istagrams adult content warning filters.

Yea, I withdraw my suggestion then. Probably worth putting that in the COC. With an explanation that we'd like to, but we're just not set up for it.

So what do we say? Swimsuits lingerie okay, no depictions of sexual organs?

Last time we talked about it, I believe only I was half in support of
adult images on the basis of being open. But no one else was, and
that's fine too. Technically we couldn't support it.
