I took a look at github's community guidelines:

https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-community-guidelines

and at their AUP:

https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-acceptable-use-policies

They are really generic, with nothing surprising or unusual.  If we insist on doing stuff that
breaches those rules, I think that says something really unfortunate about us.

To reinforce Phill's point, github is not facebook, and I am not worried that bots will
kick people out due to mentioning a kill -9 command.

R's,
