Hi everyone,
I’ve been following this discussion from afar (literally from a remote mountainous part of
Greece [1]) so please excuse the reflection. I saw this today:

This is us. This is our shared project. What an incredible privilege it is to have the
opportunity to be part of something utopian, yet real, that is seen by the world as the
last bastion of shared reality. This is no accident, no fluke. It’s because of us. This
incredible community of ours. We are all different and yet we all, staff and volunteers
alike, strive to bring the best of ourselves to this monumental project of ours. Sometimes
we get it wrong. We get emotional, we say the wrong thing, we get frustrated with each
other. But we are all in this together. And we hold ourselves to a higher standard. I
hope we can also forgive each other when we fall down and offer a helping hand instead of
a harsh, hurtful word. The CoC , like democracy, is not perfect but it’s our best shot at
an open, welcoming and supportive environment in our technical spaces. Let’s continue
refining it and let’s get back to work.
Warmly,
Victoria

Hi!
to me that this could easily be used as a shaming
and blaming list. If the
block is over and the person wants to change their behavior, it might be
hard for them to start with a clean sheet if we keep a backlog public of
everyone. I'd see it not only as a privacy issue for the people reporting,
but also the reported.
You have a good point here. Maybe it should not be permanent, but should
expire after the ban is lifted. I can see how that could be better
(though nothing that was ever public is completely forgotten, but still
not carrying it around in our spaces might be good). So I'd say public
record while the ban is active is a must, but after that expunging the
record is fine.
