I can live with the new CoC. I will try to limit any response to two or three words and end any statement with a smiley face emoji (as soon as I find out how to attach one). I admit that I am very limited in LinuxCNC knowledge, but I have managed around 45 years of NC and CNC control and machine knowledge. I also have some Screw machine and multi spindle chucker experience, but most of that is over 50 years old. I have done machine and system design as well as reliability.
I joined the group to learn about LinuxCNC, it's capabilities and contribute in any way I can.

This European countries, mostly dem/lib with social tendencies/policies have a lot of labor protection laws and labor unions that have a lot of leverage. Companies, organizations, negotiated CoC-s to push back on that leverage. In the US, a lot of states states being "work at will", they don't need them because you can be terminated for no reason, pretty much. But hey, it's a cool liberal/socialist thing, so let's do it here too, even if we don't need it, it's management porn that blew over from Europe. Also, what is the point of having rules if you there is no way to enforce them? You can have a CoC here, and throw someone out if you don't like what they have to say. but nothing keeps that user from registering with another account. Besides that, people here just talk/chat, how much leverage/control do you actually want to add by writing up a CoC, that you already don't have?
