Who made the law?

[Anthony Lucas]

Are we going a bit too far here with a COC?

Were these simply kicks, or actually followed with a ban?

Let's remember that this is only IRC. Social friction can naturally happen.

If an OP repeatedly makes bad judgements they'll eventually lose that power.

And the problem with that is the dictatorship yesterday was less than
benevolent. Check the logs if necessary.
