AND PLEASE REMEMBER: Civil behavior is valued,
and required, in this arena.
As a long time and devoted citizen of the AvA, fully committed to adhering to any and all requirements, I feel compelled to understand this statement and therefore have a few pertinent questions.
(1) What would constitute civil behavior or, conversely, uncivil behavior?
(1.1) If civil/uncivil behavior is codified:
(1.1.1) Who were the authoring party(s)?
(1.1.2) Where could I find documentation of such?
(1.1.3) How would one petition for modification of such?
(1.2) If civil/uncivil behavior is a matter of judgement:
(1.2.1) Whose judgment?
(1.2.2) Would the judging party(s) be omnipresent?
(1.2.3) To whom would one appeal said judgment?
(2) Accepting that this requirement exists:
(2.1) How was the determination made that there should be a requirement?
(2.2) When was this requirement instituted?
(2.3) Who would enforce this requirement?
(2.3.1) Would the enforcing party(s) be omnipresent?
(2.3.2) What form would enforcement take?
(2.4) How would failure to adhere to this requirement be determined?
Since I am unaware of who instituted this requirement I am not sure to whom I should ask these questions. If anyone reading this post has any information about the creator(s) of this requirement, such information would be appreciated. If any are in contact with the creators, please inform them that there is some clarification required by those that wish to comply with this requirement and point them to this post.
Thanks in advance.
