I made some changes that we’ve been discussing internally at the Foundation. No actual policy changes here, just simplifying the docs. Let me know if you want to see detailed diffs, I think Discourse makes them available.
Summary:
- I removed most of the default Discourse guidelines from our Community Guidelines document, since they were redundant.
- I added this statement to the beginning: “Forum members should strive to be kind, respectful, and interesting. Ideally, your presence in the community should improve the experience for everyone.”
- I rejiggered the subheds to make the whole thing easier to read.
I also cleaned up formatting of the Privacy Policy and added an email address to the copyright infringement section of the ToS.
