From c1edc2492ea0add9402adeaf416e01d4d38c73c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin W. Flory (he/him) Date: Oct 02 2020 17:08:34 +0000 Subject: Amend reporting guidelines for Platform moderators This commit amends the reporting guidelines at the end of the proposal. The edit is based on feedback from @rhea in Pull Request #67. It encourages reporters to work _first_ with Platform moderators as a first response. It deliberately adds language to allow a Platform moderator to defer an issue to the Fedora Code of Conduct process at their discretion. This is a work-around to NOT collect Personally-Identifiable Information about day-to-day issues often resolved quickly by an informed Platform moderator who may have additional context that is not obvious. This work-around hopefully encourages Platform moderators to work with the Fedora Council at their own discretion of whether a local issue needs escalation. Because making a formal report in the CoC _is_ an escalation, from a psychological point-of-view. However, it also leaves a pathway for a reporter who is unsatisfied with the handling of an issue by a Platform moderator to escalate. Signed-off-by: Justin W.
