OK, to clarify my question:https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2022-June/087594.htmlhad some "Hypothetical examples of "edit shaming" might be posts to the talk lists including such verbiage as (...)"
Is following also likely to qualify

"Anyone who never, ever edited OSM is not my preferred candidate to OSMF board."

"I prefer OSMF board candidates who are active mappers with at least several
edits in last year"?

"Anyone with fewer than 15 mapping days in their life should not be allowed to
join OSMF?"

?

Lets assume that someone took offence specifically to that.

Would moderators treat it as "edit shaming" taking positions like above?

And why comment like
"Anyone with fewer than 5,000 changesets should not be allowed to run for the OSMF board."
is supposed to be edit shaming while demanding/proposing some minimal
mapping activity to be OSMF member is fine?

I admit that I am quite confused what is forbidden and allowed by this rule,
especially as "effort to humiliate or discourage" is banned by other rules already.

In the latter      case, the moderators are specifically charged by the Foundation      with "calm[ing] down" or "block[ing]" such community members,      proactively.[1]  My suggestion to you, and to everyone, is that      before posting something, you reflect on whether your comment will      unduly offend somebody else in the community as well as whether      the language you choose will achieve your goal (making a point and      persuading the rest of community to your point of view) or merely      evoke negative reactions.

> As to the second question, the moderators are specifically      charged with moderating discourse on the talk and osmf-talk lists.      The moderators have no charge to deal with discourse in other      fora. That said, I might remind you that abusive or aggressive      rhetoric rarely accomplishes anything other than evoking negative      emotions that are not conducive to engendering support for your      point of view. In short, watch your tongue (keyboard) and think      twice before posting something that others will likely find      insulting or offensive. The community will function better if      rancor is avoided.
