It's quite frankly this sort of nonsense that has made me take a good solid
step away from the openSUSE project over the last year+. After spending
weeks and months writing the CoC, it's enforcement (or, perhaps more aptly
the lack thereof), has been in many cases very disappointing.
To see a board member, apparently insisting that, indeed, we should have
varied enforcement, depending on venue is absurd and incredibly
disappointing. IRC has been a mess for years.
Questioning some of our longest standing and most active moderators, and
driving them away? Yes. That seems like a wonderful plan.
The CoC needs to be applied everywhere, equally. IRC, Discord, Matrix,
Telegram, forums, reddit, the mailing list, etc. Some places will
undoubtedly be harder than others. But the sooner we stop treating some
places with kid gloves, and like they can get away with everything, the
better off ALL of our communities will be.

Even though I'm not a board member I do have an opinion about "toilet humour". It has no place in an open and welcoming environment.
Agreed.
I'll try to get this added to our CoC.
