Hey Rasa [@community](https://forum.rasa.com/groups/community)!

This is excellent and updates to CoC are always welcome. I’m thinking of the recent debacle in the ReactJS community - the aftermath had the community leaders partially blaming lack of effective ‘enforcement’ of the CoC - and also adoption by the wider community.

How will we, as a community, ensure the CoC is adhered to - we should think about the worst case and plan for that as a start maybe?

Hi @mlennox thank you for sharing your feedback on the updates!

That’s a great question, as a community leader it would be good practice to:

- Give the community week or two to familiarize with the updated CoC, and remind each other of the CoC in case you see that a discussion is veering in the wrong direction.
- Actively use the flagging feature to bring misconduct to the attention of the moderation team.
- For repeated incidents or severe cases, make sure to flag it, but also feel free to escalate it directly to us at [community@rasa.com](mailto:community@rasa.com)
- Share your feedback and bring to our attention areas you think we should improve on, especially if you feel that the CoC is not being adopted by the wider community.
- In the long-term, if you come across a community member that is exceptionally helpful who you think would be great at supporting the Rasa community and our goal, you can refer them to us as a potential moderator.

I have to say, from I have seen so far we have an incredible welcoming and respectful community, we just need to focus on maintaining it as we grow - so **we really appreciate that you have this in mind.** 🙂
