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.

Agreed.

I'll try to get this added to our CoC.
