The system is designed to promote the community to deal with issues, if the community has the SP to deal with it. There are no rules established to determine when an abuser should be targeted. Abusers like bernie keep going and no one stops these people. Why? No rules. So nothing to be done about it unless everyone or a majority agree to do something about it. No consequences for abusing your power usually.

Rules need to be established so we can correct the imbalances of abuse of power. An anarchistic model like community rule, only works when the consciousness of people trying to operate that way know how to operate that way so that they can create that way. The community as a whole has a lot of learning to do about anarchism, psychology, philosophy, etc. Otherwise, founders, set up some rules. I trust the founders more than I trust a mob of confused community members trying to go in different directions.
