e-NABLE's code of conduct has worked pretty well. So I'm starting here with a stripped down version for this Group (and listserve). Discussion, including disagreement, is welcome provided it follows the Code, until the code is revised ;-)
Our community is fueled by mutual respect, support, and goodwill. For that reason, community culture is critical. So please keep the following guidelines in mind.
- Demonstrate respect for others at all times
- Embrace a spirit of sharing
- Question arguments, not motives
- Offer solutions as well as diagnoses
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds.
If a volunteer engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the leadership team may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the community.
