This really should be pretty much the same code for regular members.

I think we should also clarify a couple of "grey" areas.


 * Off site behavior
 * Private handling of complaints to the Admins?
 * Internal to the whole Admin team handling of complaints

I think there should be a path to resolve interpersonal disputes that doesn't go site wide and that path should be followed first. That's normal. If someone at work makes remarks that offens your race, religion, national origin,  politics,  etc. You go to them first one on one and tell them to lay off or you will go to HR. If it repeats,  you confidentially go to HR and formally complain. Only if HR blows you off do you sue, go public, etc. I think it should be the same code of conduct here. One thing I would be concerned about with that is the lack of transparency. I don't think things should be handled in as public a way as a forum but some level of disclosure should happen.
