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.

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.
