From 2be1f524fb13b6be2ed72dc35807922f2c6523e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Trott Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2017 08:03:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] meta: use consistent terminology in mod policy * Moderation Policy: Use consistent terminology Bans are definted as _temporary_ or _indefinite_, but then usage later on is all about _temporary_ vs. _permanent_. This change makes the terminology consistent throughout the policy. Additionally, it re-orders some text so that _temporary_ always appears before _indefinite_. --- Moderation-Policy.md | 20 ++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/Moderation-Policy.md b/Moderation-Policy.md index 9d48acec..02c5fefa 100644 --- a/Moderation-Policy.md +++ b/Moderation-Policy.md @@ -164,14 +164,14 @@ a Post from Moderation. * Identify all changes made to the Post, and * Identify the steps previously taken to resolve the issue. * If the Moderation action included Banning, an indication of whether the Ban - is permanent or temporary is required, along with an issue posted to the + is temporary or indefinite is required, along with an issue posted to the moderation repository justifying the action. * Explanations of Moderation actions on Collaborator Posts must be provided in: * A new post within the original thread, or * A new issue within the private nodejs/moderation repository. * Any Collaborator habitually violating the Code of Conduct or this Moderation policy may be Banned temporarily or, in extreme cases, Removed and Banned - permanently. + indefinitely. ### Non-Collaborator Posts @@ -182,7 +182,7 @@ of the [Code of Conduct][]. * Explain the justification for Moderating the post, and * Identify all changes made to the Post. * If the Moderation action included Banning, an indication of whether the Ban - is permanent or temporary is required, along with a note justifying the + is temporary or indefinite is required, along with a note justifying the action. * If an explanation of a Moderation action for a non-Collaborator Post is provided, it should be provided in: @@ -190,12 +190,12 @@ of the [Code of Conduct][]. * A new post within the original thread, or * A new issue within the private nodejs/moderation repository. * Moderation of Posts authored by non-Collaborators may result in those - non-Collaborators being Banned temporarily or permanently from further + non-Collaborators being Banned temporarily or indefinitely from further participation in the Node.js GitHub organization. * In the case where a GitHub Account appears to have been created with no intention to collaborate in good faith, swift actions may be taken without - following the above procedures including: removing Posts, Banning permanently, - and reporting accounts to GitHub. + following the above procedures including: removing Posts, Banning + indefinitely, and reporting accounts to GitHub.
