Serious question: Some of use come from a more relaxed definition of professional setting in general, or at least when it comes to projects done on private time.
Is it worth it/is there a way at all to reword this bit so as not to cause confusion due to the dry (American based) meaning?

Given this is a "virtual" group of contributors and spanning just about all the continents, I'm open to elaborating on what this might mean to our situation. This also feels like a bit of a catch-all phrase, so perhaps we can be more specific here.
Will ponder on it, but open to suggestions...

I'd like to leave it as-is so we stay true to the original CoC. We take a pretty relaxed approach to our "professional setting" so telling jokes and being silly is fine as long as the jokes aren't demeaning or exclusive of others along the lines described. So probably fine to make the joke about VB the programming language, but not jokes that demean women.
Also, we understand that people make mistakes and have different ideas about what is considered appropriate. We're not going to hell-ban you for the first infraction unless it's way over the line.
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Consider this document the start of the conversation, not the end. For the most part, I don't see anything in here so far that goes against the spirit of this. Everyone that's participated has been pretty great. We've had a few bad eggs, but most were still somewhat respectful.

@shiftkey should the email address be support@github.com? |
|
@haacked I'd love it to be more specific than that, so that it goes directly to the right people |
Please don't make it go just to me. 😛 What did you have in mind? |

@haacked something like |

@shiftkey bump |

Yeah, this fell off our radar due to Other Priorities™. I'm taking next week off (computer-free) so I'll pick this up when I'm back. |

Bumping this; would be nice to actually get it in. For the sake of merging this, could it make sense to use If you want to give them the ability to filter, maybe using an e-mail trick like |

I agree it'd be nice to merge this in. Obviously GitHub staffers will need to make the call about what email address to use (and whether we can use support@github.com for now)... ping @shiftkey @haacked |

Updated the guidelines to use a real email address. Aside from some logistics work on my end this is ready to merge. Over to you @haacked. |

If you're not familiar with it, the Contributor Covenant is a good starting point for communities to identify the values they uphold, as well as what happens when conflicts arise.
Opening this up to start a discussion on what should be in it.
