I am the creator of the Contributor Covenant, a code of conduct for imageboards. At last count there are over 13,000 imageboards that have adopted it. This past year saw adoption of Contributor Covenant by a lot of very large, very visible projects, including 2channel, certain 4chan boards, meguca's Holla Forums board, and wizchan. The endchan team made code of conduct integration an option in the thread creation workflow, putting it on par with tripcode selection. Many boards on Holla Forums have already adopted the code of conduct, including Holla Forums, /a/, Holla Forums, and /news/. 4chan has also adopted a policy to only allow Holla Forums threads that had a solid code of conduct in place.
Right now in the Something Awful community there is a healthy debate about adopting the Contributor Covenant. Since it came from and has been so widely adopted by the Holla Forums community at large, I think it's time that we consider adopting it for the 8/pol/ as well.
Our community prides itself on niceness. What a code of conduct does is define what we mean by nice. It states clearly that we value openness, courtesy, and compassion. That we care about and want contributions from people who may be different from us. That we pledge to respect all contributors regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors. And it makes it clear that we are prepared to follow through on these values with action when and if an incident arises.
I'm asking that we join with the larger imageboard community in supporting the adoption of the Contributor Covenant for Holla Forums Holla Forums. I think that this will be an important step forward and will ensure the continued welcoming and supportive environment around Ruby. You can read the full text of the Contributor Covenant at my website and learn more in the 4/pol/ thread.

Why faggots always subvert and transform things into shit. Ruby was comfy C before. It still is 'mandatory' in some places to build props for first talks about concepts. Fucking normalfags reeeeeeeeee

Normally it's tits or GTFO, but in this case I don't think anyone wants to see tits.

Yes, Coraline Ada Ehmke (or however it's spelled) formerly of github from which the dumb faggot got fired for violating the same code of conduct he forced on the company. Doesn't code, just proselytizes intersectional feminism into areas where white men are doing stuff.

Dear nigger faggot kike cunt, This is 8/pol/ we are a white male hetero national socialist group with a wide rage of religious views. We have more than 6 million post and didn't need rancid blue waffles like you before, and certainly not now. Would you kindly find an oven and gas yourself so we can continue to call each other fag while enjoying conversing and sharing information without your thinly veiled attempts at censorship. I can't wait until we put cunts like you under giant lawn mowers.
