101. All contributors must always abide by all the rules then in effect, in the form in which they are then in effect. The rules in the Initial Set are in effect whenever development begins. The Initial Set consists of rules 101-116 (immutable) and 201-203 (mutable).

102. Initially, rules in the 100's are immutable and rules in the 200's are mutable. Rules subsequently enacted or transmuted (ie, changed from immutable to mutable or vice versa) may be immutable or mutable regardless of their numbers, and rules in the Initial Set may be transmuted regardless of their numbers.

etc.

The elephant in the room with these recent Code of Conduct debates is that they're really just another battleground of the greater Internet Culture Wars between liberals and conservatives. The CoCs themselves are generally more symbolic than practical.

It's been somewhat going on for a couple years now. One notable example to me was this issue for Opal that called for one of the three primary developers of Opal to be kicked out for making transphobic comments on his personal twitter by someone who had never contributed to Opal. There was also the whole thing with an LLVM developer quitting over their CoC and the case of wanting to remove a Node.JS developer for his comments (he wasn't, but others quit because he wasn't) (source: https://www.businessinsider.com/programmers-debate-requirements-to-behave-respectfully-ccoc-2018-5).

I'm still trying to figure out why these goal posts got moved so far to continue this poo poo for yet another page.

The original issue was theological demands in a Code of Conduct. I don't care about his beliefs and that guy can gently caress right off, but the irony of the last two or so pages being about CoCs promoting inclusivity is thick enough to choke on and hard enough to skim.

The CoC applies not just to code contributors but to mailing lists and other spaces, so you can gently caress off with the "those people aren't even interested in contributing code" bullshit. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy! That family of attitudes themselves are part of the thing that pushes people away, that is, minimizing and trivializing the effort of people that just want people not to be assholes to each other so that everyone can be welcome to participate under the same rules.

No, they made it very clear in the first update that those are the principles that the current developers are following, and that no one (not even the developers) is required to follow them.

To make that even more explicit, they've updated their CoC again to clarify that the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines is the CoC that applies to the SQLite community. The list of items that everyone reacted to has been renamed the Code of Ethics and still says that no one is required to follow them.

In other words, they (kinda) listened to people's complaints on Twitter and fixed their poo poo. If we hadn't complained like the goon who you just quoted did (maybe without the swearing though), they'd still have that bullshit CoC up. Now they changed to a CoC that actually IS a CoC and can be followed as one.

No. Their COC already said that it wasn't mandatory for anyone at all, and that it just represented what the current developers generally followed, in their own lives. They removed it in response to people who were too busy being outraged to actually read the thing that they were outraged over

Exactly, their CoC said "This is not a Code of Conduct at all in any normal meaning of 'Code of Conduct' but we're still gonna name it CoC because we don't know what the gently caress we're doing".

True, Code of Conduct was a misnomer. But the complaints over this not-CoC being too exclusionary, of the kind that the goon I quoted was making, were stemming from not bothering to read it

Did you read it?

They made it very clear in the first update that

quote:

[participants] in the SQLite Mailing Lists or other public forums are not required to follow this rule. However, comments posted on mailing lists or forums are expected to be courteous and professional, and should be worded as if they were written by someone who is a follower of this rule.

The text then goes on to rephrase the lengthy list and say "screw up and there will be consequences."

Directly after that linked update, they changed the section title containing that text to say "community" instead of "mailing lists." That was the only change to that document captured by archive.org until they adopted Mozilla's guidelines. Earlier versions contained similar wording as well.

The intent of that clause couldn't be any more clear: the CoC applies not just to developers, but to community interactions. To say that nobody is "required" to follow the rules relies on reading the individual words literally instead of the larger document as a whole. Further, including the community is how most CoCs, including the Mozilla one, are worded. I've never seen a CoC that applies only to developers.

Correct. And yes, I'm very sweary about this topic and I make no apologies for it. The anti-CoC types are in every single goddamn programming community and they are so, so loving loud and whiny about it. I'm entirely unsurprised that there are some here, too, and unlike other places where I will be shouted down, I'm not afraid to talk about it here.

I'm going to have to go seek out reactions to adopting Mozilla's guidelines. Once the "I hate CoCs because in my mind all CoCs are the Community Covenant, the evil tainted document created by that SJW" crowd actually reads it, they're gonna flip their poo poo. The Mozilla guidelines push inclusion and specific social issues way, way harder than the Community Covenant.

Yup, I did read it. Like you quoted, it says "Participates in the SQLite Mailing Lists or other public forums are not required to follow this rule", confirming what I wrote in my post. You've given some reasons explaining why you don't want to believe that line, but what I wrote is true: that line was there. And I think that your reasons are based on misreading what was written. You read these two lines:

quote:

Participates in the SQLite Mailing Lists or other public forums are not required to follow this rule. However, comments posted on mailing lists or forums are expected to be courteous and professional, and should be worded as if they were written by someone who is a follower of this rule

and rather than assume that there would be consequences for failing to be courteous and professional, you assumed that there would be consequences for failing to follow the list of rules that those lines explicitly state that no one is expected to follow? It really seems like you're trying to find maliciousness by reading between the lines instead of just taking the words at face value.

Also, if anything, reading the rest of the document reinforces what I'm saying, and diminishes what you're saying.

They swear they are shooting at the same target. I stand infront of the target and never take a single hit. I notice I can only see the ship now and not the players. Did OCS unload them so now my client doesn't care about their shots? What? There are now three people shooting rifles at my name. Nothing, zero damage, that can't be right though. I scope in with my trusty Arrowhead Sniper on where they should be......I'm instantly dead from being shot after scoping in on their position renders their characters. Neat.
