'Discriminatory or harassing conduct will not be tolerated' Richard Speed Fri 7 May 2021 // 08:30 UTC Share Copy A permaban from Perl events over "unacceptable" behaviour has been reduced to a year for the developer concerned, named by several separate Perl sources as Matt Trout. The first iteration of a Transparency Report by the computer language's Community Affairs Team (CAT) was published a week after the Perl Core developer known as Sawyer X announced his intention to leave the Perl Steering Council over alleged "community hostility" toward him. The report dealt with poor "community conduct" in general and also went into some detail (although the language is very unclear) on two investigations into what the CAT described as "potentially unacceptable behavior over IRC and Twitter" and an incident at a 2019 Perl event.
