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.

Similar to Vito, the safe space/code of conduct crowd has never demonstrated that any of these principles are not already held and enforced across our projects.

Same here, ofc. I still cannot understand how there could be online communities refusing these very basic principles.

I would kick+block people doing that sort of thing in the IRC channels
in
which I am an op (e.g. #mediawiki, #wikimedia-labs and various minor
ones).
I would be shocked to see ops of other channels willingly ignoring that. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
