Hello, thank you for bringing this up. Looking at the CoC again imho it just does not apply to this purpose. The CoC is all about interaction between people while this is more like a one-way-street. With a quite a bit fantasy I might be able to adjust about 40% of the CoC for this purpose. How can my editor's error message be "collaborative" or "open"? Having a ruleset with 60% chaff is asking for trouble/overwide application. I would rather have something much narrower which could not be misused to e.g. prevent shipping doom. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
