I made a comment a while back that a well-written post signalling the intent to change ones ways and some demonstration of that change would go a long way towards redemption in the eyes of others...Well, that's how it works in the real world sometimes. Here, I don't know.
There's a road back from any poor behaviour. It starts with a heartfelt sorry and some restorative behaviour. No, my mistake...It starts with letting go of ego and hubris...Two of human beings' most self-limiting traits. Then the apology and restorative behaviour.
The letting go of ego ad hubris is a difficult one these days as it seems that the go to action is to double-down and dig the heels in. I wonder how far Steem would be if it wasn't the case as often here.

Yes, a good point...I think that stems a little from the expectation ethos that the world is plagued with. An interesting question you ask but one we'll never know the answer to unfortunately. People can act as they please, generally...In the real world we have laws to follow and consequences if caught breaking them...Here, well there just consequences based on action...That's the good part...The community takes the action. Sort of tribal law I guess...But there's a way back for the abusers...And they can present themselves as the hero's of the blockchain knowing that they will be accepted back, mostly. (I refer to no one in particular here, just generally.)
Online there are very few consequences to actions it seems, so people are in the frame that what they do is okay. In real life there are other factors besides laws that temper actions and when one lives in a community, reputation and behavior matter to some degree. Not many people openly steal from their local store or set fire to their neighbours home - the only thing really stopping anyone doing anything are the consequences of actions that people fear, as well as their own character. Not everyone would steal or set fire to things regardless of whether they could or not.
