I've seen people banned from official forums because they disagreed with design decisions. And several threads locked with messages like "oh yeah, haha, we don't really want you to talk about that" (https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/elm-0-19-released-what-has-... for instance) And the github forum rules are a little "threatening" (https://github.com/elm/forum-rules/blob/master/README.md).

Not to mention, it's not actually verbal abuse that they ban. The Elm forum rules are totally batshit: https://github.com/elm/forum-rules

A few months ago on r/elm I made a post about how Evan was killing the momentum of Elm by not communicating about Elm's timeline more clearly. I was told, I was lucky not be be banned from the r/elm. A month or so later someone else posted on r/elm referencing my prior post. So I replied back and said I was the OP and that I agreed with his view and how nothing has changed. That reply go me banned from /r/elm. The elm forum has a very strict rules, almost dictatorial [1], Posters who demonstrate a Pattern of participation in Conflict may be banned from any Elm Forum....A Pattern may also arise within a single conversation.
