Comment 1 for bug 495391

It would be considerably unfair to contributors if they were expected to meet the guidelines while others did not. Contributors could receive bashing, insults, and other abuse from the community, but would be expected to be kind in response. Something that would be impossible to endure and I would think the contributors would deserve more rights, not less.

Also, in case of number 1 what about people, like me, who have signed the CoC and who are not members? Would I expected to go by the guideline as I am not an official member?
