I always found this Code-of-conduct stuff ridiculous. Can you just go to the organizers, finger-point at somebody else and yell "muh feelingz are hurt" and the accused person will be kicked out? Does it really work that way? Germany has laws on harassment, and so does probably every other western country. If you've been harassed, it is your right to go to the police and press charges. And ffs, don't do fingerpointing on Twitter. We don't live in the dark ages, we don't burn witches anymore.

In the US, one can fill out a police report, but that doesn't mean that the police will opt to press charges. If one contacts the police to report a crime, they still need probable cause to press charges. As for witch hunts, folks do get burned in the digital age, whether as result of posts on a public twitter feed, or worse yet in some cases, privately via other social media channels or other (digital) communication mechanisms. Publicly outing someone or a group is perhaps a last resort, but necessary in some cases.
