Code of conduct revision

A few weeks ago there was some discussion among admins that the current CoC is inadequate (sparked by this thread). I said I would try to update it but the result was barely different from how it is now. What additions would people like to the CoC? Input from the player base at large would be helpful.

The Code of Conduct deals with every single situation I have ever seen come up more than adequately. Anyone who thinks a topic (such as spec cheating or abusing !kick) is not covered by the CoC has not read it properly.

quote: 6. Cheating Cheating includes using any method that would give you information that is usually obscured by the fog of war... ...Also be careful what you say when you are spectating, do not give away intel. 5. Intentionally griefing games Never attempt to intentionally grief the game for your teammates... ...If you do not wish to play a certain game or with certain players, leave the game.

Then there is #4 of course.

The only thing that could be clarified is abusing !vote as a form of griefing.

I'd like to see a list of actions not considered trolling.

I think we need a certain amount of ambiguity because otherwise the trolls would abuse the clearly set out rules as GoogleFrog said.

You cannot possibly cover everything a player would do to ruin games. So, 'Don't ruin games'.

Hi Anteep. Do you have anything to do in your life that isn't trolling a small open source game community?

The problem may be enforcement, but take the average 10v10 game. The atmosphere in the game will be horrible and nubs will be constantly raged at for playing badly. I find this atmosphere of rage very off putting and it is one of the main reasons I don't play larger team games.

EDIT: Upon reading the CoC again I think it is actually a problem with enforcement and the lack of reports.
