Hi Zeev,

I think that the case you brought up could be very easily solved in a
penalty-free CoC:
1. One of the mediation team members contacts Gary (privately) - either
proactively or as a response to a complaint, pointing out to him that a PR like
this, even as a joke, reflects badly on the project and may be considered by
some as in violation of the CoC.
2. Gary, who obviously meant no harm to anybody, says 'Sure, didn't think
that'll offend anybody, but I'll refrain from doing it in the future'.
3. Case closed.
We seem over-focused on the situation where the person's response in #2 would
be ignoring the request from the mediation team, or worse, where the likelihood
of that is slim to non-existent.
I'd like to point out that you don't need a "penalty-free CoC" for this
anyway. Unless the case was particularly egregious, why would enforcers
immediately apply sanctions here? The steps you outlined are exactly
what I would imagine happening in a CoC which did have penalties/
Penalties are always a last resort. Why do we always seem to assume the
people responsible for administering them would not be reasonable enough
to think that? Is there this much distrust in the PHP community?
Thanks.
