* The Code of Conduct should specifically state that a person who is not a direct party to the alleged incident is not permitted to make a complaint. While I'd agree with this in general, there might be circumstances where a "direct party" doesn't feel comfortable making a complaint in person (newcomers in particular might feel too overawed or too embarrassed to make a complaint themself), but might be willing to allow somebody else to make a complaint on their behalf... as long as they have given permission (that can be proven, such as an email) for a 3rd party to do so, I don't see why that shouldn't be permitted.

Of course, there's nothing to stop a 3rd part from calling somebody out if the original alleged offence is public, and I'd hope that other members of the community would do so if the situation warranted. -- Mark Baker _________ |. \ \-3 |_J_/ PHP | || | __ | || |m| |m| I LOVE PHP
