Well, it is more that I do not accept them being jerks. Either change or be gone. In the CoC you can see it *is* used for GNOME Bugzilla, and unfortunately 1 person has been banned because of his behaviour (after warnings). I see the CoC as a easy reference I can point to. I have no problem banning someone from GNOME Bugzilla or any mailinglist if some person cannot behave themselves; for me the CoC is a pre-warning. This only for extreme/obvious cases, I do not like nitpicking. > Automatically unsign me once it becomes an official enforcement.
