The FreeBSD project updated their Code of Conduct. It is now a violation to send someone a message (IM, IRC, Social Media, etc.) with the text "*hug*" in it.
Totally not a joke. Is that a real problem that people face?
This raises so many questions for me!
Does this apply to animated GIFs of hugging?
What is the proper punishment for implying, online, that you are offering a totally-for-pretend hug?
What about other forms of "simulated physical contact"... like a high five?
