from the CoCs dept.

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.

    A few points:

    Your stat is underestimating sexual assaults by men. It's more like 50% of women are victims at some point in their lives, possibly more. And 10% of men.

    Same as most men, and most women, are killed by men.

    This doesn't mean 50% of men are shit. It could be more, it could be less, Stats on this are all over the place. A lot of it is dependent on society - a society that is patriarchal is by definition misogynistic, and the masculinity is toxic. Given that obly 1/3 of societies on the planet are democrcies, there's going be a lot of toxic masculinity floating around.
