I'm trying to come up with the right way to explain the frustration.

I was hoping to stay general as a way to encompass the thoughts of as many people as possible, rather than trying to litigate a specific situation.

I think we have exhausted the general style discussion in the past months.

In reply to @piegames:matrix.org
I can explain that "dual-standard for small infractions".

Unless people very clearly cross a big fat red line, any moderation action would be heavily criticized as unwarranted. Due to this permanent lack of trust from the outside, we are forced to wait until people very clearly overstep and have proof of it.

There occasions where people know where the line is and dance on it, with lots of small overstepping and microagressions. Until the moderation team has more trust in the community about its actions, there is little we can do about it without getting public backlash.

Srid and Blaggacao are perfect examples of that. We banned Srid comparatively early (disclaimer: I was not part of the moderation team back then), and look what you think about that decision. On the other hand, Blaggacao could set the Discourse on fire for months, until he so clearly overstepped every line that we could be sure nobody would attack the ban. He should have been banned way earlier.

if you draw your lines well, I'd say you should have no problem with people dancing on them. But going back to the unclear expectations: I don't even know the lines. I asked people. I still don't know the lines.

Blaggacao could set the Discourse on fire for months [...] He should have been banned way earlier.

I mean I have been in contact with him a bit now. My discourse with him hasn't been on fire. So I don't get that problem. But again, if he so clearly overstepped every line: What is the line? Is there a transparent document that I can read to get info about the lines?

That will be a more productive way of discussing this.

We now have other RFCs for the moderation body and the NixOS Foundation has already ratified a CoC. RFC98 would need to be heavily modified, and likely go against the NixOS foundation to achieve it's original intent.

You see raitobezarius that is really odd as comment on the personal level now. Why are you doing this?

However to explain me being around right here right now and my interest in all this would require a bit more walls of text. It is actually more of a coincidence originally.
