First off, thanks for dropping a line - at least, there's indication that
TQtC is watching, unlike last year when it took much longer before the list
went on complete pre-moderation. Now, having been (and being) a moderator
in other open-source forums, I'm a bit puzzled. There are particular lines
in the CoC that have been very clearly stepped over: "Be considerate", "Be
respectful" and "Be collaborative", among others. From some point, there
was little consideration to and respect for each other in this thread and
especially its predecessor. And what's happening here is very far from
collaboration, let alone being on-topic. Recommendations from the "Get
support from others" part of CoC[1] are also most obviously disregarded.
What kind of clarity do you need to take action, Tuukka? There were
downright personal accusations (false or not - doesn't even matter),
calling names, inflammatory rather than constructive postings, offtopic
here - what else do you need?

Kind regards,
