Hi :)
The main problem as i see it is that a lot of the people that give the best answers and really fix 
most of the trickiest and seemingly intractable problems are the people with the bad attitude 
towards most of the people asking questions.  We need them.  There are a few people that are also 
pretty fantastic and still manage to treat people with respect and even in a friendly positive 
manner.  Such people are very rare.  We can't afford to lose all the rude ones.  Imagine House MD 
with House or that music thing without Simon Cowl (or whatever his name is)!!  

There are some delicates balancing acts around this issue.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] "Code of Conduct"

Hello Tom,

I don't know why you posted this on the marketing list, perhaps we
should continue this discussion on discuss@... anyway. 

Maybe such a code of conduct is needed, I don't dwell too much on the
users list to be frank. However, what's really important is to have this
code enforced, and that means to have community members who are able to
moderate and help the mailing list in question to remain polite and
helpful. In this sense, I would trust a few people more than I would
trust a code of conduct. As you do spend much more time  on the Users
mailing list than me, do you think you need such a code, or do you need
more people to help out users (in a polite tone, of course)?

Best,
Charles.

Hi :)

I was wondering if we could set-up a "Code of Conduct" along the lines of
Ubuntu's?

http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct



While we like to believe that everyone on the lists and involved with
LO is "just like us" that means very different things for different
combinations of "us".  The marketing list and documentation lists are very
polite and welcoming when someone new arrives and starts asking questions
but the Users List is often very rude and makes the new person feel very
unwelcome or even intimidated.  Can we legislate against rudeness?  Can we
even define it?  Different people obviously have very different ideas about
what is acceptable behaviour.

Regards from
Tom :)
