Small updates to Code of Conduct language #1079
Conversation
These changes were made in the Lightbend Community Code of Conduct (https://www.lightbend.com/conduct) and are being proposed to the upstream Scala Code of Conduct as minor improvements consistent with the spirit of the existing code. - Update introductory statement with characteristics from the Contributor Covenant v1.4.1: https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct - Inline examples of unacceptable behavior from Citizen Code of Conduct - Consistently suggest to "contact the moderation team" rather than "contact one of the moderators" - Clarify moderation of cursing in "a hateful or aggressive" manner - Include Citizen Code of Conduct in the Credits section

It's awkward for the language's maintainer to not adopt the language's own CoC, so to the extent that this is necessary for Lightbend (due to many of their community members not being Scala programmers IIUC) I hope we can converge on common language quickly. These changes seem fine to me. |
I don't see any changes in this area in the diffs? |
It's hard to spot because it got lumped in with the inlining of the Citizen Code of Conduct: https://github.com/scala/scala-lang/pull/1079/files#diff-102cddd805ad66d3e769233af629d8b3R49 - - Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a community member's behavior, please [contact one of the moderators](#contact) immediately.

To @tpolecat's point, if for some reason these changes aren't accepted, we can change the version at https://www.lightbend.com/conduct to align. I agree that keeping them as close as possible is a good thing, and more important than making minor clarifications that cause them to diverge. However these changes were all suggested by various Lightbend employees as improvements to the original wording or formatting, and I agree that they are improvements, so they seemed worth including with the intent of proposing them back here. In the future, I think it will be better to suggest the improvements upstream here first, and then align https://www.lightbend.com/conduct with any changes that are merged into this version. |
That is the spelling used elsewhere in the document.

thanks, all, for the help getting this into final form |
