Indeed. And it is also obvious that we cannot take actions to block the harasser on non php.net's channels. However this was not my point. > If the harasser cannot actually reach their target, does that not have the > same effect? No, it does not have the same effect. My point is that the harasser has no place in this project, to begin with. It is obvious that we cannot take action in any non php.net channels but we must take actions against the harasser.
