<h2>Policy</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before committing to the fortune file, please remember the
|
|
classic Usenet "rule":</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>"Be conservative in what you expect others to accept and liberal
|
|
in what you are prepared to accept."</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If an entry offends more than a couple of FreeBSD committers and
|
|
does not contain any objective poignant historical reference, the
|
|
entry should be in the offensive file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples of offensive entries:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Those that belittle groups on the basis of their gender,
|
|
nationality, religion, or lifestyle.</li>
|
|
<li>Profanity, "adult" content.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples of entries that should not usually be declared
|
|
'offensive':</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Hitler quotes.</li>
|
|
<li>Jokes about emacs/vi or your favorite technology, as long as
|
|
they stay in good fun and don't cross the line of a being a
|
|
vicious personal attack on the designer.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> If you add new material to the fortunes collection, please be
|
|
extra-diligent about unforeseen objections, and give plenty of
|
|
time for it to settle before MFCing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Additional examples will be added to the offensive and
|
|
unoffensive lists above, as guidelines, whenever core@ is required
|
|
to settle a dispute on this issue.</p>
