Comment 3 for bug 436074

I find two motivations behind the desire of making the Code Of Conduct more "well-known":
a) Spread the word about the great ideals behind Ubuntu to push peoples enthusiasm using Ubuntu
b) Reducing the troll posts.

ad a)
I would consider publishing an introduction and link to the code of conduct on severl entry points, where to get Ubuntu (e.g. download page).

ad b)
This only starts to be an issue when people start participating with the community (I would guess the major part of Users is quite passive). Several things could be done (please concatenate with AND or either OR):
1. Suggest or require the signing of the code of conduct before participating (e.g. Launchpad, Ubuntu forums etc) - I would prefer suggestion over requirement because the signing is IMHO not so trivial as it should be (first need to generate a key, use the commandline - I was not able to sign the file correctly using the GUI) and this might cause some potential new contributors to withstand.
2. Suggest or require a (gr)avatar - seing the actual face (even if only an image) is IMHO already reducing rudeness (I observe this in several LinkedIn-Groups where basically everybody has a real face picture).
3. Ban trolls (after a few clear troll statements and appropriate warnings).
