法无禁止即自由 Absence of Legal Prohibition Means Freedom
昨天文章发出后，有朋友私下发信息问我，你文章中指的是谁？我一笑了之说道，你没看到我文章都没写名字么？这不仅仅是给对方起码的尊重，更重要的是我对事不对人。我是对其的做法不认同，又不是对这个人不认同，这是两码事。
After publishing my post yesterday, some friends messaged me in private and asked, “Who were you referring to?” I laughed it off by replying, “Don’t you see that i omitted the name on purpose? Just out of basic courtesy/respect to him/her, and more importantly, we shall focus on the matter itself rather than the person involved. I only disagreed with his/her action, that’s all. This should be clarified.
大神abit给予了我们几个人权限，支持我们一起来负责维护steemit中文社区，当然，这话说的过于夸张，说白了，就是abit信赖我们，让我们来点赞我们自己认为优秀的帖子，这个很好，不仅仅是信任，我个人更觉得责任更大了，就如同我一直讲，权力越大，就应该更加谨小慎微、战战兢兢地把事情做好，上对得起。。。开个玩笑，扯远了。
The mighty Abit gave a few of us the authority & support to manage the Chinese community on Steemit... ok maybe that sounds a little exaggerated, simply put, Abit trusts us, and allows us to upvote the posts that we like. Which is great, this is not only trust, but also responsibility. I always emphasize that, the greater one’s power, the more mindful he should be while performing his tasks with due diligence.. (With great power comes great responsibility.)
下面言归正传。
今天轮到我开茶馆，我拟了个新议题，当然，也不是完全新的，类似话题这几日大家也都在讨论，就是《如何发展壮大steemit中文社区》，这个话题听起来很大，实则不然，我始终坚信，只要人人都贡献一份力，哪怕是微弱的，相信steemit一定能创造更辉煌的明天。
It’s my turn to host the Teahouse today, and i’d like to suggest a new subject for discussion. Actually it’s not new because it has been a trending topic lately, which is, How Shall We Develop Our Chinese Community on Steemit? It seems like a huge topic, but really it’s not, because i believe that as long as everyone contributes a little, no matter how miniscule, Steemit will have a wonderful future.
我提议优秀帖子推荐制，如同汉代举孝廉制度一样，大家也可以推荐自己认为优秀的帖子到我们茶馆帖子下边。虽然这个制度不是最好的方法，但在当下，至少我能够想到的，我自认为还是比较好的方法。我也讲过了，你也可以毛遂自荐，不用觉得害羞，举贤不避亲，只要你认为自己够优秀，我们自然敞开大门热烈欢迎！
I suggest that we upvote Steemit posts based on general recommendations, similar to the Xiaolian Standard of Nomination in Han Dynasty (150s BC.) You all can recommend good posts in our Teahouse comment section, which is probably not the most ideal way yet, but at least it’s what i think, the best at the moment. Of course, you’re more than welcome to recommend your own posts, as long as they have substance. So please don’t be shy. We welcome all!
另外，我们几个人在讨论如何更好制定规则时，起初也有些争议，但我也始终相信，既然商议，就是商量着讨论，反正门关着，几个人开会，争辩、甚至吵论，都没关系，但门打开后，就要绝对保持一致，至少不能公开唱反调。
When we discuss how to work towards a better regulatory environment, we might have certain disagreement. It’s alright to have arguments in private, but as soon as an agreement has been reached, we shall all honor it, without publicly opposing each other.
各位看电视新闻，君不见各国开议会时还经常打架呢，有些甚至是现场直播，不要笑，这不可笑，相反，我认为这是民主的表现，我很赞同。当然，民主的另一面也有它不好的，比如效率低，但没关系，我们可以商议，毕竟人不多，没有联合国上百个国家那么多，想达成个协议，那才是难上加难呢？
You probably have seen it on TV how, during a parliament meeting, the members fight against each other, even on live broadcast. It’s not funny, don’t laugh. On the contrary, I think it’s what democracy is about, which i agree with. Of course, democracy has its downside too, for example, inefficiency. But it’s alright, we can discuss it here, there are only a handful of us, unlike the UN which has 193 countries. How difficult it is for them to reach an agreement!
对此，我提出了关于群里今后讨论的几点意见，供大家拍砖：
Therefore, I come up with a few ideas on how we shall make decisions in the community from now on. Please give me your feedback:
1、今后群内但凡提出任何限制的议题，都要经过全体通过。如果有任何一人反对，要么放弃，要么改方法。
1. Any subject on prohibition, it must be a unanimous decision. As long as there is one person opposes the prohibition, we shall either drop it, or amend it.
2、我们只限制真正想要限制的；
2. We shall only prohibit what truly needs to be prohibited.
3、反之，如果没有限制的，就是允许的，至于有问题，那至少不是法规的问题；
3. On the other hand, as long as it’s unprohibited, it’s allowed. If there’s an issue, it’s not a matter of regulation/rule/law.
一句话，法无禁止即自由！
In short, absence of prohibition means freedom!

非常欢迎！你可以加下我微信:rivalhw 我们可以详细沟通下。
I wish I understood Chinese, then this would make a lot of sense to me.
@rivalhw do you mind posting this in English language as well?))
the article title's mean in Chinese is: Absence of Legal Prohibition Means Freedom
It's not about law,just story about us
maybe you can try to use google translate ,it's interesting,wow?
@rivalhwThat makes a lot of sense now. Sure I will use google translate. I only hope the translation would be reliable enough to convey the sense you've expressed here..))))
Try looking at my translation works... it might give you some idea what's actually going on
@verethraghna where can I find it?
it is right below sir burke haha
Hi @simeonburke, I have translated this post to English in the comment section, hope it helps! Cheers, Journey
@thisjourniy that's awesome! Thanks a million.
喜欢你这种直爽的性格，男人做事就应该大开大合
不敢，大开大合那是贝壳，我做事向来还是较稳重的 :)
哈哈啊哈，我为啥要用这个词，真是造孽了
哈哈啊哈？听声音，我应该很喜欢你这性格
打字太随意，多打了个“aha”，见笑了见笑了:)!
不错，百花齐放才是春啊。大家积极自荐或是推荐他人都可以。这样，大家的共同努力发展 #cn 区。
The english translation for people who might need it (We all know how bad google translate is as some chinese words can't be taken literally lol):
After I posted my article yesterday, one friend gave me a private message asking: "Who is the person you're referring to in the article?" I just smiled and said, Didn't you see I don't put any name in the article? This is not only to give that person a rudimentary respect, more importantly, my concerns is on the matter not on the person . I do not agree with his approach, and I don't dislike him personally, this is two different things.
Big Brother(I think this is what he actually means) abit give us limited authority, supporting us to maintain the chinese steemit community together, of course, to say it like this is a little bit overexaggerating, plainly speaking, abit trusted us to give upvote on any post that we deem excellent, and this is a good thing, it is not merely a matter of trust, I personally feel that my responsibility is bigger, just like what I often say, with greater authority, we should be more cautious and careful to make sure we do things right, so we don't put our boss down... Just joking, I drifted away too far from the topic.
Below we go back on topic.
Today is my turn to run a teahouse (There is a historical background story about teahouse but to put it simply I think what he means is like opening a thread on a forum -- means he's the Thread Starter), I propose a new issue, of course it's not entirely a new issue, similar to the topic everybody is talking about these days, it is --How to Develop Chinese Steemit Community--, this topic may sounds complicated, but not really, I firmly believe that as long as everyone contribute a little, I believe steemit will have a brighter tomorrow.
I propose excellent posts recommendation system, just like han dynasty's filial piety recommendation system(to put it simply is to recommend people who are filial and morally superior to take important office in the government), everybody can also recommend post that you personally think as excellent below our tea house thread post. Even though this is not system is not the best solution, but at present, at least from all what I can think of, I personally believe this is a better solution. I also said, you can also volunteer, don't be shy, "to appoint the competent person, even if it is one's own relative" (内举不避亲is a 成语(chengyu) -- I can't explain about it in several words, just take it as he is simply using it to make his point more convincing), as long as you think you that are able, we naturally will welcome you.
Additionally, when we were discussing on how to improve rules formulation, at first there is also some controversy, but I always believe, since it is a discussion, that means discussing it thoroughly, the door are closed anyway, it is only a several people meeting, arguing, even fighting over it, it doesn't matter, but after the door is opened, then that means we have to have the same saying, at least we cannot say different things in public.
Everyone who watches the news, you can see even in livestream how the officials fight when they hold a meeting, do not laugh, it is not ridiculous, on the contrary, I think this is how democracy should be, I am very supporting of it. Of course, democracy also has its bad side, like low efficiency, but it doesn't matter, we can discuss, there are not many people anyway, not as much as hundreds of WTO countries,if we want to reach an agreement, Isn't it will be extremely hard?(what he means is if there are a lot of people holding a meeting it would be very hard for everybody to reach an agreement, but since there is only several persons so it should be easy)
In this regard, I talk about some of my opinions about the community's future discussions, This is my different opinions on the matter:
in the future, everyone in the community who proposes any subject about restriction, he/she must get everybody's consent. If there is but one who disagreed, you either give up, or you change your method.
We only restrict what really needs to be restricted;
On the contrary, if there is no restriction, which means it is allowed, if there is a problem, then at least it is not a matter of law;
one word, Absence of Legal Prohibition Means Freedom!
i don't understand this at all
Hi @cheesehead, I have translated this post to English in the comment section, hope it helps! Cheers, Journey
Thank you
在我而言 良好優質的社區必須同時有限制和自由 拿取到平衡就好 也需要大家的自律
當然 當你是這社區一分子自然不會想它變壞 大家一起建立把它變得更壯大就好了
支持一下
我來報到啦！您提到的推舉制度我覺得很不錯哦！我今天發現了一個post寫得很好，看得出來是很用心寫的，十分重質，但心血就沒有得到什麼回報T-T標題是「黃金牛市即將來臨？「上海金」將取代倫敦金？」,各位可以研究一下哦！:):)

哈哈。有限制就不是全自由。
还是觉的有点限制是好的。
不然可世界大乱。
完全同意。不过，我认为，自由需要承担责任，而不是每个人都会承担责任。
