I don't want to be the one stirring up a hornets' nest, but I think this question is important for the community.
Do we have a written policy for banning people on Nim's various community platforms? If not, here's a bunch of questions that need clarification: 1. What actions on a user's part results in a ban? 2. Is there some procedure of gradual penalties for offensive actions? For instance, some number of notices before issuing a ban. 3. Do bans expire? If yes, what's the standard period and is it variable on any conditions? 4. How is the ban's span between various platforms (chats, forum, GH) determined? There were some precedents of community-wide bans _except GH_. Are there any other combinations? 5. What's the procedure of lifting a ban. 6. How to dispute a ban? Please, do mind I'm not having any particular situation in view. It's just easier to abide by codified rules and keep yourself from getting into an uncomfortable situation. Also, [this note](https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/8677#56523) by @cblake wasn't addressed, as far as I know: > I'm probably not the only one that finds it hard to keep track of who is > banned where. Someone should really create a website with a table of > long-time participants & ban venues (maybe with ban reasons).
