Community

"The Rust community seems to be populated entirely by human beings. I have no idea how this was done."

Conduct

"Please be kind and courteous."
"Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum"
Dedicated moderation team
"We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone"

Exclusion

"The Rust community gives me a particularly bad feeling. They're rather tyrannical about enforcing their code of conduct. They even have a moderation attack squad to go after anyone they deem to be an enemy!"
