You do have to moderate, but it's not clear that a CoC makes any difference. You have people that are chill, people that will take direction when they unintentionally are not, and assholes. A CoC doesn't help with any of that.
When I read some of the rather hateful comments coming from the most ardent proponents of CoCs, I feel like something's really gone wrong with the project.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoHaving a CoC ensures moderator actions (bans, etc) are applied evenly when communities grow so large, they need multiple moderators. People that violate CoCs probably don't care to read them anyways, but I don't think that's the primary purpose of such a document. I would speculate the author of "No Code of Conduct" hasn't hasn't ever had to confront the complexities of moderating a large group of people.
