<br>
</span>Are we proposing actively singling out people in our community? This<br>
doesn't scale and is just plain offensive. "Serious" is a matter of<br>
perspective.<br>

</span>Are we proposing background checks for participating on our community?<br>
This could have so many legal problems in so many countries...<br>

</span>I wonder how much powerless are we, today, to deal with that.<br>
<br>
We already have the power to moderate, ban, and publicly denounce people.<br>
<br>
We already have to power to revoke commit access, revert patches,<br>
unlink buildbots.<br>
<br>
And we already can do that with no explanations necessary, but we can<br>
always add explanations by email.<br>
<br>
I don't think in such a case, many people would complain, either.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This isn't just about what we can do today, but about explaining it to people who haven't seen us do it/don't know what the community norms are. So that when evaluating which communities they might want to be involved in, they have some confidence that this one might be compatible with their comfort/needs/etc.<br><br>Also sets expectations better for members of the community (yes, there's still lots of room for good judgment on the part of the community, those who handle CoC issues, etc so that a lawyerly approach to the rules doesn't actually get you very far) so people are less likely to be caught by surprise. Not impossible, but to reduce the chance.<br><br>- Dave</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
