Maybe I confused the terms. Is there any precise
definition? IMHO, "harass" should mean that the subject
of the action feels so.

Less than 10%. Which is why I think this will escalate
to Jeroen's final ban - another symptom that the list

JDG [IIRC], everybody took it as serious. When Nick
says it to Jeroen, he's serious.
