So are we supposed to be careful about using 'wtf' now?

We rather not to discuss details of cases publicly but I feel this clarification is very much needed.
Ah, I found the e-mail:
Subject: Temporarily ban from phabricator
Hello,
We received reports about your comments in phabricator. While we encourage criticism and productive comments to improve the software, comments like "What the fuck" do not contribute to the discussion and turns the discussion from respectful criticism to folks swearing at other folks.
We asked you to stop making such comments that do not contribute to the discussion. We have no choice to issue a temporarily ban from phabricator. We hope you notice this type of behaviour is not welcome in our technical spaces.
Please read Code of conduct in depth: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
Best

This is re: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200742.
Greg Varnum created a mess, inappropriately closed a valid bug, and removed its parent task because he didn't want to even acknowledge the bug. I expressed exasperation with his actions, particularly gaslighting volunteers (cf. <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-August/090841.html
), and Greg then removed himself as the task assignee and hasn't responded on either the task or the wikimedia-l mailing list since. And there's still German text prominently and confusingly at the top of https://wikimediafoundation.org/. Amazing.
