Thoughts?
As I said many times in the past couple of years, peer pressure is not enough sometimes, and the project needs teeth to stop harmful behaviour before it drives people away. *The volunteers are the project's most valuable resource, and we need to protect them.* In situations like those Ian has described, I think DAM and anti-harrassment should at least be informed. Coincidentally, yesterday I was about to do exactly this after I saw some inflammatory emails sent publicly to a member of our community. I am adding them to this thread, as I think their input on the matter would be most welcomed. Tincho. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
