Real citation needed, not just some sentiment. For example, quite a few feminist blogs point to intimidating and derogatory speech/actions as the primary hurdles against female participation in online communities.
I have read no such reports about our community, but we did have some (relatively minor) incidents in the past that made contributors well less than welcome.
I'd concentrate on solving our own issues first, over trying to fix all the world's grievances.
That said, I'm not sure what bucket these incidents fall into, and I'm not sure if our list of examples of unsuitable behavior cover only "harassment". Maybe we should replace "Harassment includes:" with "Examples of actions we don't want to see in our community:"?
and warrants the paragraph about those unacceptable behaviors.
If harassment is the most common problem, that definitely warrants listing harassment first (which is not the case in the current CoC).
Let's just say, they're all pretty terrible?
Please define "community organizers". Did you mean "arbitration team"? Or is it the community members present at an event?
It isn't not meant to be specific to an arbitration team. These members may not be present in all cases and organizers of events and online communities should uphold the good standards of the community.
Thanks for clarifying. The CoC would benefit from adding this clarification.
