Some general thoughts... There is a lot of verbage around harrassment, and then one line given to "spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing behavior". Harrassment is of course unacceptable but fortunately seems to be absent in our community, afaik. But trolling, baiting, etc. have indeed been problems on occasion, so I wonder if these deserve more attention here. In particular, regular development discussions can sometimes become heated, and things be said that sound like flaming or baiting. As written it sounds like these are considered equivalent severity as harrassment. We don't have active moderators for IRC. I think I'm the only person with ops on channel, but I am not going to actively monitor any discussions. As written, the CoC implies a more active level of moderation than that, which may disappoint expectations. I think we should condense this section down.
