@serebit was working on a proper response and figured I'll wait with a link until then

sima@chaos.social@vbabka so this is mostly informed by attending a pile of community leadership conferences, reading some books and my personal experience. I see three elements of effective coc enforcement
1. working to improve behavior with the people who need to change in private. in my experience that works out surprisingly often
2. use sanctions to protect your community from bad behavior, but not as a tool to force change. or at least not a primary tool, a suspension can be useful as a timeout

3. public communication is PR to reach the wider community. I do that not to impact the specific person who's behavior is problematic, but to role model and signal to the wider community what's expected
those emails tend to be heavily edited and go through a lot of drafts, because if you're unlucky the public will run rampant with every single word that could be possibly misinterpreted
that's also why there's a few hours passed between the snarky toot and the proper reply on-list

sima@chaos.social@pq yeah that's an aspect I didn't even bother to mention in my reply, since it should be so obvious
