Hello everyone. Just a few words from a citizen of a (formerly) communist country (i.e. under Soviet occupation until 1992).
First things first - thanks for great effort. We all hope this is a good move and everyone will be happier. Time will show we all are wrong. So we would improve the CoC in time - only to find out that we made things worse. Etc, q.e.d. Second - it is sad to hear that there's a need for putting these rules in written form, because some people misbehave. This is perhaps signum temporis - sign of times, where we come from malfunctioning families, that were not capable of forming us as decent people. Or maybe we are all too young to pay attention of spoken / written words. So maybe this set of rules would show some of us (including me of course) that there are living people out there. Third - what made me sit and write this pathetic letter, and what explains my self introduction - is a word I found in the Code. The word is: jokes. Now: good joke is the one that makes laugh everyone involved. But banning jokes upfront altogether is inherently wrong! I know it, because I've been there - in a country, that nothing could have been published or publicly presented (including live performances) without prior approval from the censorship office of People Republic of Poland. Since then I am allergic to any efforts trying to ban *jokes*. One would say: "Hey, CoC mentions only discriminatory jokes, not all!". "That's right. It names those jokes *now*. But wait for it." So there goes my proposal - can we transform this part towards something saying rather: "Words can hurt. Please make sure your words won't hurt anyone, even if you have been hurt by somebody", or "Jokes make laugh everyone involved. When joking, make sure what you intend to say is a joke, not an insult towards anyone. Best jokes we make from ourselves". Last but not least: Can we make jokes of Code of Conduct?
