These are from the Guidelines page.

> Be considerate

I've rarely seen this observed on this list at all.

> Be respectful

Most here definitely don't follow this either.  On the Ubuntu-Users
support list, especially, I've seen people being treated with grievous
disrespect for no greater crime than not knowing English very well
because its not their native language.

> Be collaborative

Well, I've seen this, sometimes but eventually some troll or 1337ist
will get offended by something stupid and the list turns into a muck
racking contest.

> When you disagree, consult others

Seen it sometimes, but again someone will disagree and turn into a
reason to launch a jihad.

> When you are unsure, ask for help

God forbid if you're a newbie!  There is no greater sin on this list
and Ubuntu-Users than to be a Newbie!

> Step down considerately

LMAO!  ROFL!  I think that pretty much explains things here.

> Avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments

The #1 most IGNORED rule on Sounder and Ubuntu-Users.  It might as
well not even be in the CoC because few if any here follow it.  If
Sounder and Ubuntu-Users were battlefields they'd be scorched,
blistered, swiss cheesed with pockmarks and some areas would actually
glow in the dark!
