Fidonet used to have a two-bullet CoC:

- don’t annoy others

- don’t be easily annoyed

Plus moderators that made sure you stayed on topic.

It was plenty.



The problem with this is that it relies on an unspoken standard of "annoy". If you misgender someone, does that count as annoying them, or as them being easily annoyed?


The way it worked is that likely both sides would get an admonition


It depends on the intent.


I think the userbase of Fidonet was slightly different of that of the internet as it is today.
