The 'good ol' boy' culture of self-protection from our own behavioral standards is rightfully finished. I encourage everyone to start doing the same. If the WMF is going to dictate that it's time to change, then I will support that, even over my own criticisms of the WMF. Arbcom's certainly done more to combat chronic issues with incivility than we ever have. It's not Arbcom's fault for failing us in terms of harassment. We've been failing to enforce our very most basic conduct policies since I got here. 'Harassment' is a chilling red herring buzzword that distracts from the real issues at hand. We need to not give the WMF any reason to see the need to intervene.

If we don't want this to repeat itself, we need to learn from this as well. But they were enforcing the board's will. They're clearly not equipped to deal with this from the top-down. I encourage everyone to take this seriously as well. I am on board with the board's goals here. These are changes the community's been aching for since before I even registered. I am already seeing it start to play out within the community. If we don't want Foundation meddling, we need to start taking this seriously.ДЄs one of the very vocal critics of the WMF in this, I can support this initiative wholeheartedly. They'll tighten the Foundation's leash, and give us a genuine chance to fix this issue ourselves. And the board is willing to side with us on this. These editors are a sacrifice that should be made in order to encourage a more welcoming and diverse environment. The reign of the uncivil power user is finished. The days of admins unilaterally unblocking 'power users' who are blocked for personal attacks and incivility are over. The days of log-jamming behavioral complaints with excuses and defenses are over. The days of excusing incivility in deference to content contributions are over. We need to start handling behavioral issues with seriousness and decisive authority. We need to start enforcing behavioral policies, even (read: especially) against admins. We need to stop making excuses for toxic behavior. We need to stop making excuses for 'unblockables'.

The WMF wants us start taking behavioral conduct seriously. The issue is clear, and practically spelled out for us. It's naive to reduce this to the community struggling to deal with harassment. There is a gap between our movement principles and practices. 'projects struggle to effectively address the most difficult and controversial cases.'those in a position of authority should be held to a higher standard'.' should take this as a wake-up call to improve our enforcement processes to deal with so-called 'unblockables''.' for more diverse voices to join our communities'.' to make Wikimedia communities safer for all good faith editors'.What the board did mention explicitly is what's actually important, and we need to understand and acknowledge the lessons being given to us. The Board barely even mentioned harassment, as an aside to additional training the WMF might be able to provide. No one has said that this ban had anything to do with harassment. Can we please stop throwing around the word 'harassment' everywhere? It's been said on this page 150 times.
