14 So, gathering some of the responses I tried to draw a complete picture of
15 what is going to happen (where references are not publicly archived, I
16 supplied their Message-ID):
17
18 Enforcement of CoC will be proactive, not reactive[0,1]. This in my
19 understanding means that devrel will not wait for reports of CoC
20 violations. Instead, they or their assistants will be policing mailing
21 lists and bugzilla[2] for infractions, and make an example of the first
22 developer who transgresses the CoC[3].
23
24 Bannable offenses will not be limited to direct personal insults, but also
25 include trolling, being judgmental[4], labeling proposals or software as
26 "crap"[5], saying things that could be seen as offensive in certain
27 cultures or to people with certain personality traits[6], as well as making
28 non-constructive statements[7].
29
30 To me this is a very grim picture. If hope it is not accurate, but if it is
31 I hereby speak out against this. I'd like to see any emergency action
32 limited to response to personal attacks and insults, and any stricter rules
33 set only in place after Council decision.
