Hi!
3) not being able to discuss cases clearly also
bothers me too as I can't
clarify points. But these secrecy is there for a reason. We have cases of
sexual harassment in Wikimedia events, do you want us to communicate those
too? And if not, where and who supposed to draw the line between public and
non-public cases? I'm very much for more transparency but if we don't iron
things out before implementing them, it will end up as a disaster.
True enough, and I agree we should be careful, and I think we can trust
our CoCC to be careful in such matters, we trust them with the cases
themselves after all. But with all due care, I think we can find the way
to reveal the admin action was taken and why, without going into
sensitive details. Even some detail would be better than what we have
now, and in a case of a bad comment saying "This user has been temp.
banned from date A till date B because of comments incompatible with
CoC" doesn't seem to hurt anyone.
