What's unbelievable is that you need to remind those rules to people who are supposed to be adults. IMO, what would be more effective is a moderator and banning those who do respect the rules (with a few preliminary warnings). Yes, this sounds harsh, but the octave mailing lists are not a place for what happened these last few weeks.

I agree that having a code of conduct without having consequences for violators would be pointless. I don't think having a single moderator would be practical, though. I think some sort of community based system would be more realistic; I'm unsure about the details of such a system.

I don't think you need a democracy to handle the obvious. A single (wise enough) person should be enough. It's a dirty job, but apparently it's needed.

Michael.
