- We will not allow anybody to defame another individual by name, on any thread, without his permission. Defamation, slander, libel, and harassment are illegal in many countries, and the FontForge organization cannot allow itself to be involved in such a thing. Legal issues aside, the list must provide a safe or at least neutral (non-hostile) environment in order to support a healthy exchange of ideas. - We will not allow anybody to defame a group that qualifies as a protected class in the United States. These classes include race, skin color, national origin, sex, and age. The mailing list is hosted in the United States, and is subject to the laws thereof. - We will not allow any non-hate-speech thread to be used for hate speech or non-constructive criticism of any type. The FontForge list is for productive discussion of issues relating to FontForge, computer typography, and typography in general. We must preserve this function. - We will not allow gross obscenities or elevated hate speech on any thread unless the subject line includes a tag such as [NSFW] or [mature]. The list is not necessarily closed to children, and even some adults are uncomfortable seeing another person or group viciously attacked. We must give them the option of participating in the FontForge community without experiencing vicious behavior and vulgarity. - In the interest of advancing free speech and of not being seen as censoring its critics, the FontForge organization will exercise restraint in moderating and blocking mailing list participants, but it will take necessary steps to enforce these rules and to protect developers, users, and other mailing list subscribers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ fontforge-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fontforge-devel http://fontforge.10959.n7.nabble.com/Developer-f3.html
