I've been extremely reluctant to have any sort of official
conduct code. I prefer a gentle nudge on a case by case basis,
and just deleting the posts of incorrigible trolls.
Leading by example, implicit expectations of good conduct, and
peer pressure can be amazingly effective.
Yes, we don't need official forum rules, but we have to agree on
the unofficial ones. If people with d street cred step up and
tell people if they go overboard everyone will follow. If they
point to some official rules, those how break them will just
argue that they technically didn't. We have no need for lawyers
here.
