Re: Rust Moderation Team Resigns
#4Obviously there is a story behind this ("the Core Team placing themselves unaccountable to anyone but themselves"), but it's not entirely evident from the PR itself what actions led down to this happening. I guess somewhere a Core Team member broke the Code of Conduct but the deed went unpunished? I was expecting some references or links to where this actually happened, but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what happened for this action to be taken by the moderation team?
Not part of the general Rust community, just an outsider, so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Does it? I am not familiar with the Rust language development but I read it as "team that takes care of the core (of the language)".

Well, you either have a explicit hierarchy of people working on something, and then the people who are a part of the "top layer" can sometimes start to look down on the ones who belong to the layer below, seeing them as less knowledgeable or not producing useful output. Sometimes that leads to people starting to close down into their current layer, and forms "us-vs-them" groups. Or, you have a implicit hierarchy and basically the same thing happen but the layers don't have names.

#9This statement is inscrutably generic. Are there examples of behavior which went unaccounted? Or, what prompted this?
Also, is it common for projects to have mod teams? This is new to me.

This is what humans do.
