Re: [RFC] [Draft] Adopt Code of Conduct

However, as I previously said, the alternative is taking action on behalf of the community by the tiny part of the community without the community even being aware why the action is taken. I don't think this is a good idea. We can develop processes that decrease the risk of retaliation - starting the process with private moderation IMO is a good way to do this - but if we want community-wide action, I do not see how it can be done while preserving both secrecy and informed due process. > * if the outcome is a majority of people think it is a legititmate > complaint, then they are still going to get a load of crap from i) the > minority of people who think that any restriction of freedom of speech > is a commie plot ii) the revenge brigade who go round and harass > people I don't think we have such bridages in our project spaces. And outside project spaces, we can do precisely nothing about them except wagging a finger at them. We can not solve all problems existing on the internet by having CoC - we can only (hope to) make our spaces free of the bad stuff. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
