Rust takes a completely different approach to this. If you behave badly, you're out. Even on IRC. It also keeps discussions direct and accusal-free most of the times.

It's one of the reasons I chose Rust as the next community to work in. I have zero tolerance for such things and hate being in discussions with people that cannot - well - discuss. I just don't want to waste my time on such communities.

Given that Rust now has a surprising number of meetups around the world (Berlin alone has a regular learners group with ~ 25 attendees weekly (some regular, some new)), they have a knack for good community building. And keeping insulting behavior to zero is one important cornerstone of this.

I've been doing community org and tracker triage for quite a few years now: you _can_ and _should_ judge a community by their community spaces (IRC, trackers, bulletin boards) and not by single-person publications (GH, blogs).
