I've thought a lot about doing this post, partly because I haven't written anything since they decided to put me on the spaminator blacklist for doing two posts in English and Spanish with the same content and I counted as lost, no one in the community or even the healing teams give a chance to those who are put on this list next to more serious cases like fraud or directly copying articles, these types of lists are abusive to some extent and you can greatly improve their execution or at least differentiate the types of violations among users and not limit them all to having a red number and a daily downvote.
Much of the work on discord is done in an unprofessional and sometimes even rude way to the point of banning NOVATIVE users who don't know the rules that these judges have in their heads. These judges censor users' content without compassion and with punishments that are extreme and impractical that the only thing they do is that that user will create another account or more likely leave the platform.
I would just like to start publishing again in a different way, I have seen that the community is very active and I would also like to contribute with the little I know how to do: think of ways to promote the communities and the platform and design educational posts about how to use Hive.Blog and its other gateways.
I would also like to get into the conversation about how to approach new users who are entering the platform. In my previous posts I explained my progress in creating videos that serve as a starting point for any newcomer and I think it's a point that I would like very much to take up and start sharing on platforms like 3speak that are also on my list of things to do by offering a website where I can easily share these types of videos.
Returning to the topic of blacklists I think it is a very delicate issue in which we must improve a lot both in the way it is decided when a user is doing something "against the needs of the community" as in the punishment that this type of equipment imposes. We must reach the last consequences before punishing users who create quality content if we do not want to lose good material for our blockchain.
A server in discord although it is an unprofessional way of taking complaints but can be much improved with the integration of bots that help users (now in discord) to understand the mechanisms and facilitate everything when it comes to knowing the rules, apply them and appeal certain faults they have had.
It is a complicated issue but I wonder: Should we put users who repeat their own content in different languages in the same category as those who directly steal identities or copy paste content that is not theirs?
