<pre wrap="">This sounds good... a healthy does of "common sense".
I also think the WBM is small enough that something like this works.
The more rules we create the more complicated it will get.</pre>

Premise: the code of conduct should be more about what you should
not do, not what you should do, in my opinion.<br>

<li>being too vague would allow somebody to argue about the

<p>I think the definition should be simple and short, not stuffing
too many things. Just the ones we consider very important and very
dangerous of the health and credibility of the community.<br>
</p>
<p>We are a small community, but it has been growing, and I
personally hope it will grow even more - I remind you that we
already had mail threads talking about a potential edition in the
American continent.<br>
Better to start doing small steps in the right direction.<br>
We don't need laws, we need a clear procedure to protect ourselves
in case someone starts jeopardizing years of work spent building
this community.<br>
</p>
<p>It takes years or decades to build these kind of communities, but
it takes just a bunch of jerks with a lot of free time to destroy
them.<br>
