I think the issue is not the lack of clear enforcement rules, but a lack of a proactive enforcer, be it a person or a body. The CoC has done nothing but give people something to say when they want to be passive aggressive in a discussion. Changing it to a more strict one like Videolan's will not affect that. This lack of interest you mentioned is exactly the issue. If it all depends on the coordinated action and involvement of a dozen or so developers, then nothing will happen. As i said, the one time action was called for a developer's behavior, no voter showed up. I'm up for keeping it or making it stricter. But it needs to be enforced. So how do we get a dozen or so people to stop looking away every time someone is a dick in a thread? > - Some replies that do neither, but prefer to attack the example > rather than the actual point of the email. > - As suspected, a large chunk of the project's developers have > simply not replied, hoping it just goes away or blows over, or > don't care. > > I'd say the prediction was pretty accurated.
