Web form to file reports easily about code-of-conduct

[jackiekazil]

@stvnrlly I really like this idea.
Question -- have you seen anything like this before? Do you know of any examples that exist in the wild?

[stvnrlly]

Yes, I made a basic version of it for Code for DC: http://codefordc.org/contact.html. Since we don't have a high volume of incoming messages, we just use the main contact form for everything.

The form gets posted to a private group on Slack using attachments for formatting. In order to avoid having our API token in the clear, there's a tiny bit of Node running on Heroku that accepts the request, does the formatting, and sends a new request to Slack.

I believe this ticket is now defunct given the new formal guidance for reporting violations.

[stvnrlly]

I think so. The original post discusses anonymous reports as well, which is still something that may be worth addressing. A web form for that may not be feasible, but a bit of guidance on alternative ways to raise an issue may still be useful.
