Hi

Recently some unhappiness (sorry for the euphemism) was caused by posts
on Planet Debian, which resulted in a whole number of public and private
discussions (yes, that too is a euphemism).

I think that it might be beneficial to revisit the rules of Planet
Debian and fortify it a bit.

The Planet's rules aren't that bad, it's quite liberal; any debian
contributor can post and the rules even encourages political posts.

If you haven't read it in a while, here it is:
https://wiki.debian.org/PlanetDebian

I think it's important to be upfront that if an outside contributor
wants to republish content on Planet Debian, that they be aware that we
have certain community standards and that we expect them to follow it.
Currently the planet wiki page doesn't mention the CoC rules at all,
which a casual contributor might not even be aware of.

I also think that the paragraph about "not annoy people" should be
completely overworked. First, even following its intentions, it's way
too vague. Secondly, annoying the right people is an incredibly
important part of being human, and I think it's morally wrong of us to
ask people not to annoy anyone whatsoever.

I also think that the wiki page should explicitly mention that planet
debian is not the platform to stage personal spats on. If someone wants
to engage in a public fight, they should do that on another platform.

I also think it may be useful to include some examples of what might get
a post or an entire feed removed.

Well, those are some initial thoughts for now, if you made it this far,
thanks for reading :)

-Jonathan
