Well said.
The open issues list is IMO still stuck at two points. Hacking is
inherently messy so the points are reflective of that:
How do we:
Point # 1: Ensure that absent improper conduct-CONTRIBUTING people will
unfailingly feel SAFE and CHERISHED quite apart from all else.
#1 Explains as: "This is not about Judas's handful of coins folks, nor is
it about popularity contest reindeer games. If you are HACKING in the
space- you are Contributing if only by Example.
*Cherish Hackers*
Point# 2:On a 24/7 basis- be clearly making the Perps&/Squatters 100%
UNwelcome as NB is a space for all Participants- No spectators, unless
it's a show night or non-participants are somehow vouched for.
#2 explains as: Either we actively- even yes- challenging the risky
cases- kick the bad eggs OUT upon the first un-Hacker conduct/absence of
proven Hacker Cred- or we risk the abovementioned fail of people not
feeling SAFE. Show nights and AUTHORIZED guests as a possible exception to
the no spectators rule.
Teal Deer: If someone acts enough of an ass that they grossly threaten
others- they are showing a risk of not being WORTH the risk. Intimidation
is Conduct Unbecoming at it's most UN-excellent and supersedes all else as
potential ticket to 86 Status
All screeds deserve a pointed recap.. And I openly state my points are
trying to have NB thrive by nurturing the best&brightest we attract while
not letting predators or just disruptor fails- endanger our NEEDS TO BE A
Safe Space.
