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.

And that's all well and good when you, a responsible and fair-minded person, are the adjudicator.
It doesn't work at all when the adjudicator actually agrees with any of those stances. Which happens sometimes - as in, I've seen it happen.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

In other words, like I said, it's an elementary school playground. Just without any adults.
Yeah, that's very sad. Especially when the people in charge that should be moderating the whole thing are part of the problem.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
