Politeness is expected at all times. Be kind and courteous.
Always assume positive intent from others. Be aware that differences in culture and English proficiency make written communication more difficult than face-to-face communication and that your interpretation of messages may not be the one the author intended.

You will be excluded from participating in the community if you insult, demean, harass, intentionally make others uncomfortable by any means,
Saying things like “that community manager is dumb/sabotaging the project/shouldn’t be in this position/etc” technically violates this reatrdedly loose code of conduct. Of course, the community manager arguably violated it themselves, but I don’t have much faith they’ll follow through logically with consequences for that.
The titles don't matter that much as they can be all powerful or completely token on the whims of who actually runs the country. If you take China for example, Deng Xiaoping who was the leader after Mao was neither General Secretary nor President during his leadership.

The most powerful position in communist countries isn't the President, it's the General Secretary.
Control who gets in, control the entire apparatus.

Didn't Deng recently got branded a criminal and imprisoned by Xi, the current General Secretary?
This is 100% correct. It is literally a political affiliation request.
