Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Excessive swearing and offensive jokes are not appropriate for Papers We Love.

Social Rules
------------
In addition to having a code of conduct as an anti-harassment policy, we have a small set of [social rules](https://www.hackerschool.com/manual#sub-sec-social-rules) we follow. We (the organizers) learned and lifted these rules from [!!Con](http://bangbangcon.com/conduct.html) who in turn got them from [Hacker School](https://www.hackerschool.com/), where we felt that they contributed enormously to a supportive, productive, and fun learning environment. We'd like Papers We Love to share that environment. These rules are intended to be lightweight, and to make more explicit certain social norms that are normally implicit. Most of our social rules really boil down to “don't be a jerk“ or “don't be annoying.” Of course, almost nobody sets out to be a jerk or annoying, so telling people not to be jerks isn't a very productive strategy.

Unlike the anti-harassment policy, violation of the social rules will not result in expulsion from the meet up or a strong warning from conference organizers. Rather, they are designed to provide some lightweight social structure for conference attendees to use when interacting with each other.
