Hello,
I brought it to the member's list and not board because the CoC was not followed since
I was banned immediately when clearly nothing warranted that. Someone else obviously
agreed since I was unbanned a few hours later (and then re-banned later obviously).
The CoC also says:
Finally, the result will normally be explained to the
person accused of bad conduct
Which wasn't done, I would welcome the specific details to be discussed in public
since I did nothing wrong.
I have CC'd board@ here (note: CoC doesn't say how to contact board, it should)
who can consider this my appeal. I would additionally ask for an explanation as to why
Ge0rg didn't abide by the CoC when banning me immediately, and for a plan to prevent
this from happening in the future.
Thanks,

Dear Travis,

Someone just wrongfully banned me from the XSF
MUC, I of course don't think I said anything that should result in a ban at all.
I was that someone, and I did so after multiple warnings to you due to
your behavior. We can discuss the specifc details off-list if you wish
so.
but clearly neither of these
<https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0458.html#immediate> apply so if someone thought I
did it should follow the reporting+discussion requirements from the CoC, and not be a
unilateral ban from a mod that doesn't like what I said.
We (the XSF moderation team that was formed by Board on March 5th) have
followed the CoC and arrived at the conclusion that a temporary ban is
appropriate.
I'd like to be unbanned immediately and the
mod that wrongfully banned me to re-read the CoC they are supposed to enforce.
The CoC states that you have the right to appeal the decision with the
Board. Bringing it to the members@ list, however, is not appropriate.
Therefore, this is my final email to this thread and I kindly ask
everybody else to not continue this discussion on this list.
Georg
