code of conduct typo or missing words #36

Closed mperrin closed 6 years ago

mperrin commented 6 years ago

In the code of conduct, in the last bullet, is this sentence, which is confusing partway through. Bold added:

We will take action when members of our community violate this code such as such as contacting conduct@stsci.edu (all emails sent to this address will be treated with the strictest confidence) or talking privately with the person.

First, "such as such as" is clearly an accidental repetition. But more problematically, as written this seems to suggest that "contacting conduct@stsci" is itself an example of a possible code violation that we will take action about...

This error applies to both copies of CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md in this repo, and presumably others elsewhere.

I suggested a new wording in #38 - does that look clearer to you @mperrin ?

Even if that's merged, we should propagate this change to other places this CoC is, though. (I think either @arfon or @pllim might know?). Can either leave this open to track that or make a new issue.

@mperrin - I merged #38 since it seemed pretty clear that was an improvement, so closing this on that basis. But feel free to re-open or open a new one if you think it's still not there!
