Make a new "Unacceptable Behaviors" Document

[kelle]

So it turns out our Code of Conduct includes some aspirational elements which are more like "desirable" behaviors rather than "unacceptable behaviors." We might want to consider having a 2nd document which outlines the most egregious Code of Conduct violations. I propose this document could be called "unacceptable behaviors."

This is motivated by best practices discussed in Chapter 4 of this manual on Codes of Conduct: https://files.frameshiftconsulting.com/books/cocguide.pdf

I agree with this!

@kelle - to clarify the mechanics here - the idea would be to put this document on the same page as the CoC (https://www.astropy.org/code_of_conduct.html) with a section at the bottom, or a second independent page (via link or something)?

I ask because I like the general point but am worried about a second document "diluting" the message (i.e., people might look at one but not the other).

Also, need to think about reporting and aligning with Numfocus best practices. See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FQ45cEGNIiDZLOsrXsXiHAQlvO5ec3RTzyVwtDx7je0/edit#heading=h.6dcuv64b8wmk

@bsipocz has seen an example of an Unacceptable Practices document but can't find it.

It's the PSF one: https://www.python.org/psf/conduct/

(a conference also had a different, good one, but I cannot find that now)

@cadair has started convo with NumFOCUS to help out. Stuart, could you summarize?

[pllim]

@hamogu , given your collaboration with NumFOCUS on updated code of conduct. Is this still relevant?

[hamogu]

It might still be relevant. NumFOCUS is moving very slowly, but depending on where they land we might or might not go with what they work out; so I suggest to leave this open until we know.

[kelle]

This was my idea and I no longer think it's a good idea so I'm choosing to close. We can reopen if anyone feels strongly.
