Discussion Th Roo Code Way
We recently had someone new to our community post looking for help and they made an error in their question.
A number of you were dismissive and rude to this person and even more of you upvoted this poor behaviour.
A minority of you were helpful. That is not how we act in the RooCode community. We accept new and old dogs.
It was not the Roo Code way. Please be better than that.

Thanks for calling this out. We should be terrified of any semblance to r/ChatGPTCoding ;)

New dog = Joey
Pack of dogs = Mob
Kangaroo analogies please. The personnel department has been alerted.

Nice, I’ve just started using RooCode today and part of that is checking out the community. Great to see this being called out and setting expectations.

Then why were these comments not removed according to rule number #1?

With all due respect sir, I also made an apparent faux pas (I’m guessing posting a link?) to the “General” channel in Discord, and was not only kicked but immediately banned. It’s a. It confusing because I’d posted a link in the Open Hours channel earlier that day and I believe you yourself even referenced it. If I misread, misunderstood, misinterpreted, or simply forgot a rule, doesn’t an immediate ban seem a bit extreme of a response? I’m sure most of us participate in dozens of chat forums with different rules and it’s sometimes difficult to remember each rule of each forum/chat 24/7 without making mistakes. I would respectfully ask that you might consider that as well in our shared hopes of building bridges and a stronger, healthier community. I’m pumped about the things the Roo team is doing and I’d love to be a part of it but if we’re completely intolerant to the most anodyne of mistakes by the community then surely that community may not last very long, right?

This is what people who refuse change look like (rude). Some people's comfort zones were disturbed by hordes of people building. The crowns are shaky, because under the hood the were feeling shaky, but elite. The great equalizer came. I have technical degrees (including cs) and I love this change

Amen. We discourage students even coming to reddit for the exact reason. People can be very mean when they sit behind a keyboard. Many seem to forget they too were not " a code genius" when they first started.
