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.

Whatever motivated you to accept this fluff as a story?
Both the pull request and the reddit discussion are completely devoid of context other than hearsay claims of 'misandry'.
Was your motivation to poke fun at the 'woke' community or the Rust community - we already had one daft submission about how real men program in C this week.
either way, our resident unreformed boomer couldn't resist.

We've discussed the CoC situation and toxicity of SJW's extensively on this site. Beyond ignoring them, a correct and appropriate response to this Ashley Williams person would simply be to mock them but that would in itself be a CoC violation. As one user on the reddit thread linked by Subsentient explained:
Pathetic as they are, I don't have a problem with any of the supposedly offensive tweets, occurring as they did on a personal account. My position has always been that people are entitled to their personal views and gender, sexuality and race are irrelevant to technical collaboration. I also, however, fully reserve the right to call people on their bullshit as any self-respecting adult should. That is, no self-respecting adult would ever submit to rules privileging the childish and mentally ill over themselves.
If you don't see the relevance pertaining to a project like Rust, you don't know why myself (and others) avoid that language and it's community like the plague. But don't let that stop you invoking "boomer" slurs as ageist discrimination and further, flagrant demonstration of woke ("Rules for thee but not for me") hypocrisy!

The world is not your safe space and I am not a child. Once you realize narcissism is an infantilizing personality disorder... [psychologytoday.com]
To clarify, if you don't want to be treated like a child you also have to stop acting like one and take responsibility for yourself. You can be getting on with that, right after you clean your room bucko!

1. It was submitted by a member of our community, and it accurately portrays the state of affairs regarding CoC and their (ab)use. It is worthy of discussion, but I cannot be held responsible for every comment made any more that you can held responsible for the comments made in response to your contributions.
2. I haven't poked fun at anybody. My only comment was directed at someone who wished to introduce their own political views against another member of our community. That was both unnessary and off topic.
3. I can do nothing to change when I was born and I don't recall being consulted about it, but I haven't found a reason for me to 'reform' who I am. Perhaps I am contravening your own personal CoC? Tough!

I for one appreciate the submission. Always interesting to see what is going on in the coding bollitics.
Having said that, I think comments on the (in)appropriate uses of spoons are probably the most appropriate response to half the threads.

I appreciate this submission.It is nice to read about crap like this before experiencing it.
On another news site a story was linked about how a company was torn apart by SJW. It is things lime this and the insights learned by others that can be so valuable to know when it happens to you.
