It is not enough to be factual. You must also be civil. Responding 51in kind to incivility is not acceptable. 52 53If the list moderators tell you that you are not being civil, carefully 54consider how your words have appeared before responding in any way. You may 55protest, but repeated protest in the face of a repeatedly reaffirmed decision 56is not acceptable. 57 58Unacceptable behavior will result in a public and clearly identified warning. 59Repeated unacceptable behavior will result in removal from the mailing list and 60revocation of any commit bit. The first removal is for one month. Subsequent 61removals will double in length. After six months with no warning, a user's ban 62length is reset. Removals, like warnings, are public. 63 64The list of moderators consists of all active core developers. This includes, 65in alphabetical order, Alberto Simões, David Precious, Mickey Nasriachi, 66Russell Jenkins, Sawyer X, Stefan Hornburg (Racke), Steven Humphrey, and Yanick 67Champoux. 68 69This list might additionally grow to active members of the community who have 70stepped up to help handle abusive behavior. If this should happen, this 71document would be updated to include their names. 72 73Additionally, it's important to understand the self-regulating nature we 74foster at the Dancer community. This means anyone and everyone in the 75community - in the channel, on the list, at an event - has the ability to 76call out unacceptable behavior and incivility to others in the community. 77 78Moderators are responsibe for issuing warnings and take disciplenary actions, 79but anyone may - and is encouraged - to publicly make note of unacceptable 80treatment of others. 81 82As a core principle, abuse is never tolerated. One cannot berate, insult, 83debase, deride, put-down, or vilify anyone, or act towards anyone in a way 84intending to hurt them. 85 86The community specifically considers as abuse any attempts to otherize anyone, 87whether by their technical skill, knowledge, gender, sexual orientation, 88or any other characteristic. 89 90The community aims to maintain a safe space for everyone, in any forum it 91has. If you ever feel this core principle has been compromised, you are strongly 92urged to contact a moderator. We are always here. 93 94Remember, this is B<your> community, as much as it is anyone else's. 95 96=head1 CREDITS 97 98This policy has been adopted and adapted from the policy available for 99the Perl language development, provided by B<p5p> (the Perl 5 Porters). 100 101The original inspiration policy document can be read at L<perlpolicy>. 102 103=head1 AUTHOR 104 105Dancer Core Developers 106 107=head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE 108 109This software is copyright (c) 2010 by Alexis Sukrieh. 110 111This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under 112the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself. 113 114=cut 115
