So, are we unable to enforce these things currently? If someone comments on
a Phabricator task that user X is a big meanyface, are we unable to act
currently because there's no code of conduct so how could they have known
otherwise?
It should be pretty darn easy to make a policy on user interactions within
technical spaces. There is certainly a practice which is already followed,
so just codify it and call it a guideline or a generally accepted document.
I would certainly support a page that people can read to find our
expectations for interactions, and what happens if you're naughty. Instead,
it has been months (years?) of debate over wording and enforcement, when
there has been no demonstrated deficiency in how we currently deal with it.
Except of course the technical limitations, which they could have been
spending this time/money on fixing.
Also, I think I misread your first comment. I'm sorry for referencing it in
my comment then; I wasn't trying to "mould" your opinion to support my own.

Oh, and similar to WereSpielChequers, I agree
that better enforcement
methods would be far more useful than spending staff time and money
worrying about the codes of conduct. I understand that they are all the
rage on the west coast of the US these days, but it's not going to help
us
finally stop someone who is using proxies to
create more accounts to
harass
someone. It's not hard to see that with
access to proxies and mobile IP
ranges, someone can engage in sockpuppetry and abuse of our wikis
indefinitely.
The WMF has made progress on this recently, but there is still nothing to
deter someone from engaging in prolonged campaigns of on-wiki harassment
using sockpuppets. Maybe it's time to think about a more strict
account-->
operator connection, such as requiring email
addresses on new account
creations and a method of checking accounts by email.
