In the past when we have had such issues (inter-personal, not offtopic), they have usually been deferred to the Board. If deemed appropriate, someone might have been banned for a while, or even for life.
I imagine the board will continue to deal with the more complex cases an if someone disagrees with a moderator they can escalate it to the board.
Wrt offtopic, I am a strong believer in lists self-policing and also believe it has worked perfectly fine for the last twenty years.
The evidence from the last few years seems to show that this is something that is simply not working for the factory list.
There are other topics, such as hate-speech or profanity, where a decision is often easier to make, but even on the latter, sometimes people differ.
We would like to move to the model we use in the forums / Discord / IRC where moderators have some power to enforce community standards and rules while still leaving the board as the final conflict resolution mechanism. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
