#compsoc Code of Conduct

#compsoc aims at being a nice place to chat about computer related things for anyone involved with Edinburgh University.

With that in mind, there is a single rule:

  • Be nice

Not being nice could include:

  • Feigned surprise. When someone says “I don’t know what X is”, you don’t say “You don’t know what X is?!” or “I can’t believe you don’t know what X is!”.
  • Well-actuallys. That is the pedantic corrections that don’t make a difference to the conversation that’s happening.
  • Fanboy-ism. Just because Programming Language X has feature Y doesn't mean everyone who doesn't use it is making the biggest mistake of their lives.
  • Trolling. Posting something for the sole purpose of starting an argument or annoying other people is stupid.
  • Excessive conspiracy-theorying. Consider making your own channel if you feel the need to negatively comment on everything related to a (reasonable) subject.

We do not tolerate harassment of people in any form, including but not limited to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. Expect action from an op if you break the rule.

If you feel that another person is violating the rule, or you have other concerns, please contact one of the ops via a PM.
