7.01. Encourage colleagues to adhere to this Code.

Being a professional software engineer or a professional web developer has its own responsibilities. One of them as mentioned in the code of conduct is to encourage their colleagues to adhere to this code. So as to follow this code first a particular software engineer or a web developer should adhere to this code himself or herself. Then he or she can inspire his or her colleagues to follow the code by any means necessary.

In the formation of design and functionalities of ReputeU website all three members made sure that each and every member adhere to this ‘Code of Conduct’ by following the codes it provides. We individually understood the importance of following this code and the values it can provide us in the long run and tried to educate each other in best possible ways. Subsequently what we expected was to minimize our wrong doings and faults from happening or avoid having inappropriate outcomes through the functionalities of the site.

When we had problems with regard to the project we work on, we as team had discussions, brain storming sessions in order to find the finest possible solution to overcome the problem. Within the process the code of conduct played a great role assisting us, educating us and remembering us what we ought and ought not to do. We ensured that no one in the team would violate any of those codes mentioned by inciting everyone to the right way of doing things.

For instance our team had a discussion on how to get users to post their virtue stories on the site, whether to provide a direct link to post it online or should it go through the admin panel first before posting it online. A member had a suggestion to provide a direct link so that the user will be satisfied. But conferring to code of conduct we shall maintain the integrity and accuracy of data and information and they are properly authorized towards protecting the site from having flawed occurrences. We educated and encouraged him about how important it is to adhere to this code and the shortcomings we will face if we do not do accordingly. Finally all three members agreed to provide an email for users to send virtue stories where those will be examined to validate properly before posting. And the users will be clearly apprised if there are any issues.
