This is your home, my home, and our theater. While some people may think it funny and a joke to yell in a frightened voice BOMB in the middle of a crowded theater, and call it a free speech issue, it is not.
If someone is invited into your home, and they start yelling and screaming, or ranting and raving at all your other guest, calling them and your children names, and using foul and abusive language you not only have the right to remove the offensive person, you have a responsibility to your family and guest to do just that, take the garbage out before it causes sickness and disease.
I am glad that it is a hard thing for you to do, I am glad that you and others are able to come to consensus and keep PALNet a bastion of true Peace, Abundance, and liberty.
^ Nailed it.
My house my rules.
Your RCs authorise you to post to the chain, and abiding by PAL's expectations authorises you to see those posts via Palnet.io
I just posted my first PALnet post today, and I'm excited to see how things progress here. It's like a reset, in some ways, and that's exciting. I'm happy there are people thinking through these tough choices about how we properly defend what we love and care about while not becoming the very force of tyranny we want to avoid.
It's not always easy to find the balance, but I know I'd rather work with people that are at least seeking it than those would disregard it entirely for their own benefit. My hope is that through conscious effort we can make something better and so far our distribution seems to be looking like an improvement from the metrics I'm seeing. Happy to have you onboard.
Yeah as long as you kiss their butts, you should do just fine!
Why did you downvote clayboyn's comment and hide it? What about his comment requires it to be hidden?
Play nice and people will get along. Downvote perfectly good comments because you have a personal issue with someone and everything goes to hell.
Well I actually do agree with @berniesanders that you are too stupid to receive my witness votes! Some witness if you cannot even figure out something as simple as that! How long have you been here? I am appauld you would even ask me something as dumb as that! "Play Nice" and they play nice back! You are crazy! Un-voted you for witness, you don't do anything for me anyway! You must be one of the biggest idiots on STEEM, go to EOS already!!

I downvoted his comment because he downvoted my pal post! Give me a break, if you don’t know why by now I am taking my witness vote away from you when I get back to the office! He downvoted me first after my post explaining my new rules about it!
I've learned that you have to make careful choices because everything has an impact. I've also learned that you can't please everyone in life, so please yourself and figure out what really matters.
When you're too focused on living up to other people's standards, you aren't spending enough time raising your own.
To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eyes of others.
I'm all for rules and structure, as long as the workings behind them are transparent.
There's a pretty strong argument for the view that we need structure in order to be free - the road and the car are the most obvious examples. A football match another.
Without roads (and the rest of the automobile infrastructure) no one can drive anywhere, without rules in a football match (which OK some will try to flex) there is no possibility to display skills, it just becomes a thug's match.
Rules and structure give us more freedom and create more opportunities for us to maximise our individual potentials - having a no-rules 'do what you like' radical freedom approach is a sub-optimal IMHO.
However, It's hard work chipping in to maintain standards, and draining, many a collective has fallen apart because of 'meetingitise (too many meetings) - so striking the balance is not easy!
If the end result is have more of this sort of post in my feed rather than the dross I still see on Steemit, gimme rules.
Cheers!
I think transparency is important. Not all of our community guidelines translate from operating on a somewhat restrictive service like Discord to a blockchain, but we're working on figuring out what makes sense and getting an updated guideline on what will and won't be acceptable and we'll most likely pin it in the hamburger menu at the top right with our other links.
That would be good - having it pinned and prominent!

I was watching a thing the other day about some former moderators coming forward regarding the content they dealt with on Facebook. Those people had no idea what they were getting into and it mentally broke them seeing what they did daily.
I welcome some light moderation when it’s required as long as it’s within policy. As long as it remains accessible to the public what those rules are and any changes to it are done so with deep thought and at a rate people can keep up with.
They'll be posted and a link to the post will be put in the hamburger menu at the top right. I'm pretty sure we'll be working on them tomorrow night.
Awesome. Thank you for all the extra time you guys and gals having to put in.
Yall are killing it. I trust in the judgement of the PAL team, and I trust that my feed on here is 100x more legitimate content than I've seen in a year and half on the platform. A little comment drama is inevitable when you have a flood of new people (myself included). Super happy to be invested and helping to actively curate.
We're happy to have you here!
Thank you sir!
You have articulated my sentiments far better than I ever could. I agree with a lot of what you describe here.
