Dear Twitter,
With a group of my colleagues, we are drafting a code of ethics/conduct for a professional society and its conferences. I'd like to kindly ask if you could please share with me good examples you have seen of such documents. Thank you! #CodeOfConduct #ScienceTwitter

< but now I recommend the
@thecarpentries one - the reporting and enforcement manual is huge and that’s because so many people have had their eyes on it and fed into their call for feedback (led by@DrKariLJordan) https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/policies/index_coc.html … -
The manual is really beautiful. But the process is fairly ossified in a way that makes it hard to respond to novel corner cases. And abusers are always generating novel corner cases. I've thought a lot about how to enable flexibility but also fairness and come up with nothing ...
-
Yeah, the nature of humans sadly... I think this is why courts and case-by-case evaluation exists for the legal systems humans have come up with through the centuries.

The only criticism of
@thecarpentries process is that the response has to go through a LOT of emails/people/discussion before anything can be acted upon. If I were using the code of conduct I would give much more power to local people to enforce as early as possible. -
I don’t think it’s a problem of corner cases, the code of conduct gives power for many actions *and others* but the safety committee has to be willing to make strong decisions quickly and - in contrast to the legal system - NOT based on precedent.
-
Depends on the legal system! But yes, I absolutely agree.
-
The reason I mentioned legal system is just that in every crime or offense it doesn't just go "you did a theft, now prison" — it actually gets discussed and different sentences are given based off a CoC-type thing (the law).
