All I will say is as a board member, I will personally not take action to remove any member of the community unless I can see good reason.
Initially the board did not receive a detailed report that user X should be banned, just a I think there is an issue here and we might need more moderation. As the boards action on this topic I was asked to monitor #opensuse more closely, which I have, and then more recently #opensuse-chat to see if that was true or if there was one or two isolated instances.
Until today in my time of monitoring I hadn't seen any issues even close to worth reporting and or moderating (The one I bought up in this list is an example from memory years back and me guessing based off the reports received). As such I made the truthful and accurate statement that in my time of monitoring the channels I hadn't seen any issues and so that was what the basis of this thread was.
I also think its rather disingenuous to try and cast yourself here as some neutral arbiter trying to find the truth and acting upon it when, it's quite clear to read on #opensuse-chat that you are actively seeking to defend the channel and the problematic individuals who poorly represent openSUSE within.

And sure you gave an official warning today..to an IRC user who lists their Real Name as "Pinche Pendejo" which in Mexican directly translates to something most certainly not PG so I can't explain without breaking the CoC myself.
Yes this was only raised with the board just before I had to take my kids out and you can be sure that it will also be dealt with. Also as this is new (while I have moderated #opensuse, I have never moderated #opensuse-chat) I believe a warning is a fair first action. If the board disagrees with me on this then i'm sure something else will happen, but as you would understand generally the board keeps these matters confidential. -- 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
