It's part of a CoC
ban. We sent the user an email using the "Email to user" functionality
from
mediawiki.org the moment I enforced the ban.
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:

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.
