I had numerous instances in the past where skillful third-party mediation allowed resolving differences and pave way for cooperation. So having people that can do that and are publicly known address for doing this is a good thing to me. If we lose the punitive focus and have more "what we want to do and what should happen" and less "what should not happen and how badly we'll punish you", it would be much better.
^^ That thing. +1. (That doesn't mean have no punitive process, but that should not be the focus.)
I agree. And I suspect mediation is the only realistic remedy. Someone can continue to be abusive and cause damage after you've exhausted all the punishments listed in the COC RFC. Beyond being ineffective, these actions could be counterproductive. Imagine someone experiencing the emotional level of a rage-quit or being threatening. The COC Response Team reverts some commits and wiki edits and says: You were warned! I don't think this is a promising way to deescalate and bring people back in the fold. Tom
