This is why when we created the Code of Conduct I was concerned about being too explicit in listing different aspects. On the other hand, like in the world of public law, rules need to be rather clear.
Indeed, I was just thinking that we can't enumerate everything that's a violation, as (a) that list would be unwieldy, and (b) it opens the door to "it doesn't say I can't say/do this" types of rules lawyering. Moderation staff needs to be able to evaluate at their discretion whether something violates the spirit or the letter of the CoC and have a discussion (if needed) about the actions to take. Some things are pretty clear cut, but the edge cases can require some discussion that takes context into account. -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits
