# Code of Conduct for Erbosoft Projects

		||||
# The Erbosoft Project Code of Conduct
 | 
			
		||||
## (Revised January 2016)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
(Adapted from [this Quora blog post](https://www.quora.com/profile/Eric-Bowersox/Semi-Coherent-Mutterings/GitHub-Madness) )
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The *one and only* criterion that will be used to determine whether a
 | 
			
		||||
contribution to this project will be accepted is *the quality of the
 | 
			
		||||
contribution and how well it solves the problem it was contributed to solve.*
 | 
			
		||||
**Period.**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
I do not give *one milli-micro-nano-fraction of a* **fuck** what race you are,
 | 
			
		||||
what gender you are or identify as, who you want to sleep with, how old you
 | 
			
		||||
are, what your height or weight is, what if anything may be different about
 | 
			
		||||
your body or brain, what language you speak, what country you're from, what
 | 
			
		||||
God you pray to, where you work, how much money you have, et fucking cetera.
 | 
			
		||||
Is your contribution any *good?* That's all that matters.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There is one exception to the above rule: *If you're an asshole, you're*
 | 
			
		||||
**banned** *from the project.* **Permanently.**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If your contribution is not accepted, and you start *whining* about how it's
 | 
			
		||||
"actually" because you're of some-or-other
 | 
			
		||||
gender/race/religion/nationality/whatthefuckever, you are attempting to have
 | 
			
		||||
the deck stacked in your favor because you're "special." That makes you an
 | 
			
		||||
*asshole.* And you're *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This project explicitly *rejects* the "Open Code of Conduct" as published by
 | 
			
		||||
the TODO Group, and any similar "codes of conduct" that may be promulgated.
 | 
			
		||||
Anyone complaining about this is an *asshole,* because *who the fuck are you*
 | 
			
		||||
to tell *me* how *I* should run *my* goddamn project?  And you're *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
I reserve the right to change this as I see fit...but anyone who tries to
 | 
			
		||||
*force* me to change it in ways that are *offensive to me* is an *asshole.*
 | 
			
		||||
And they're *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
1. *I, Erbo, own this project.* Not you.  My decisions about any aspect of the project are *final.*
 | 
			
		||||
2. This Code of Conduct contains harsh language. Tough shit. Suck it up, Buttercup.
 | 
			
		||||
3. Anyone who is an *asshole* is **banned** *from this project.* **Permanently.**
 | 
			
		||||
4. This project has certain objectives.  Anything outside of those objectives is *irrelevant,*
 | 
			
		||||
unless and until *I* change the objectives. Not you. In particular, if you’re a Social Justice Warrior
 | 
			
		||||
trying to join this project to spread your *bullshit,* you are *automatically declared an asshole.*
 | 
			
		||||
And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
5. I reserve the right to change this Code of Conduct as I see fit.  If, however, you try to force me
 | 
			
		||||
to change it in ways that are *offensive to me,* or that try to advance “social justice” ideals in any
 | 
			
		||||
way, shape, or form, you’re an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
6. In particular, this project explicitly *rejects* the “Open Code of Conduct” by the TODO Group,
 | 
			
		||||
the “Contributor Code of Merit” by Coraline Ada Ehmke, the “Citizen Code of Conduct” by
 | 
			
		||||
Stumptown Syndicate, and any similar “codes of conduct” that may be promulgated. Anyone complaining
 | 
			
		||||
about this is an *asshole,* because *who the fuck are you* to tell *me* how *I* should run *my*
 | 
			
		||||
goddamn project? And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
7. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to determine whether a contribution to this project
 | 
			
		||||
will be accepted is *the quality of the contribution and how well it solves the problem it was
 | 
			
		||||
contributed to solve.* **Period.** (“Contribution” may include code, documentation, testing, or fundraising.)
 | 
			
		||||
8. The *one and only* criterion that will be used to judge your worth in relation to this project is
 | 
			
		||||
*the quality of your contributions (as defined above) to this project.* **Period.**
 | 
			
		||||
9. I do not give *one milli-micro-nano-fraction of a* **fuck** what race you are, what gender you are
 | 
			
		||||
or identify as, who you want to sleep with, how old you are, what your height or weight is, what if
 | 
			
		||||
anything may be different about your body or brain, what language you speak, what country you’re from,
 | 
			
		||||
what God you pray to, where you work, how much money you have, et fucking cetera. Is your contribution
 | 
			
		||||
any *good?* That’s all that matters.
 | 
			
		||||
10. If your contribution is not accepted, and you start *whining* about how it’s “actually” because you’re
 | 
			
		||||
of some-or-other gender/race/religion/nationality/whatthefuckever, you are attempting to have the deck
 | 
			
		||||
stacked in your favor because you’re “special.” That makes you an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
11. Only those people who have contributed a sufficient quantity of good work to the project,
 | 
			
		||||
*as determined in my sole discretion,* will be allowed to assume any board position, administrative
 | 
			
		||||
position, or management-related role. And, any position I give, I can also *take away,* for any reason.
 | 
			
		||||
Anyone who complains about this is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
12. You will do your own work.  If you try to pass off the work of others as your own, you’re a
 | 
			
		||||
fucking *plagiarist,* and also an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
13. If there’s a discussion that cannot be resolved within the scope of the project,
 | 
			
		||||
*take that shit somewhere else.* I don’t want your bullshit here.  If you continue to spread
 | 
			
		||||
your bullshit here, you’re an *asshole.* And you’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
14. As noted above, my decisions about any aspect of the project are *final.* Anyone *pissing me off*
 | 
			
		||||
by getting all up in my face about said decisions is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
15. Any advisory boards, committees, etc., having to do with this project will answer to *me.*
 | 
			
		||||
I reserve the right to disband any such whenever the hell I feel like it.  As always, anyone
 | 
			
		||||
complaining about this is an *asshole.* And they’re *gone.*
 | 
			
		||||
16. Anyone who does not approve of the objectives, direction, or attitude of this project is
 | 
			
		||||
free to *get the fuck out* at any time. Bye Felicia!
