You're missing the basic point. If someone makes a complaint with a
complaints process that handles everything in the open, i.e. with your
suggestion of the standard RFC process:

* if the outcome is most people think they were over-reacting to
something, then they are going to get a load of crap from people in
the community.

* if the outcome is a majority of people think it is a legititmate
complaint, then they are still going to get a load of crap from i) the
minority of people who think that any restriction of freedom of speech
is a commie plot ii) the revenge brigade who go round and harass
people

i.e. any process that airs all complaint in the open is going to be
shit for anyone who makes a complaint regardless of whether it was
justified or not. Which just leads to people not making complaints and
instead just not being part of the community.

cheers
