The entire moderation team resigns, effective immediately. This resignation is done in protest of the Core Team placing themselves unaccountable to anyone but themselves.
As a result of such structural unaccountability, we have been unable to enforce the Rust Code of Conduct to the standards the community expects of us and to the standards we hold ourselves to. To leave under these circumstances deeply pains us, and we apologize to all of those that we have let down. In recognition that we are out of options from the perspective of Rust Governance, we feel as though we have no course remaining to us but to step down and make this statement.
In so doing, we would offer a few suggestions to the community writ large:
We suggest that Rust Team Members come to a consensus on a process for oversight over the Core Team. Currently, they are answerable only to themselves, which is a property unique to them in contrast to all other Rust teams.
- In the interest of not perpetuating unaccountability, we recommend that the replacement for the Mod Team be made by Rust Team Members not on the Core Team.
- We suggest that the future Mod Team, with advice from Rust Team Members, proactively decide how best to handle and discover unhealthy conflict among Rust Team Members. We suggest that the Mod Team work with the Foundation in obtaining resources for professional mediation.

That's interesting, thank you for the link.
The summary didn't say much about what was the CoC violation and I assumed it was a similar situation to Stallman where the CoC team was just looking into pushing out some old fart that didn't follow 100% the party line (and that they though was a pedophile, or at least pedo-friendly, for basically say that people shouldn't jump to conclusions), but looking into the link you sent it is actually a woman being extremely misandrist and racist to white people. At least the CoC team seams consistent, if you gonna apply the rules it should be valid if you talk shit about A and B, not only to A or B.
I particularly think that professional contributions should not mix with personal statements, if what she said was part of rust development discussions or part of the code/comments the CoC should be applied, but if those are on personal account, not linked directly to the project in anyway, it shouldn't affect. Assholes are part of life unfortunately, but unless they make it difficult to contribute to the project (i.e., being aggressive/disrespectful in code change reviews), and actually contribute to the project getting forward, they should be let to stay.

"Assholes are part of life unfortunately..."
That's why I think the only useful COC to attach to a project is a one-liner.
COC: "Don't be an asshole." EOF

Won't work. Who decides who's an asshole? That's right - other assholes.

Basically a man hating whamen was asked to be held responsible for stuff men are being fired for left and right without right to due process. Nothing happened. Conservatives rejoice because social justice is being ridiculed. Democrats rejoice because whamen was put on a pedestal.
