I see why You pinpointed @thehodler's account, but for your own good & for everyone behind @hivewatchers

Change the words you use, @thehodler may not be a "Well Known Spammer" he may be a newbie

• & accusations thrown around too carelessly can result in liability 😵

Banned @thahodler.

Umm this is crazy @hivewatchers @guiltyparties

• You do realize you are "Banning" people (or trying to) on a censorship resistant platform, intended for #FreeSpeech & startups, trying things that have never been done, right?

Needs Freedom to Work

Who needs a blockchain with RCs to manage spam when we have the almighty HW that can just blacklist everyone and run anyone using the chain away?

Hi.

Please don't confuse freedom of speech with spam. Freedom of speech does not give a license to exploit and spam the platform.

Is the user "thahodler/fdeflash" a newbie on the internet (used the internet for the first time today) so he/she does not know that doing nothing else except spamming referral link 25 times in one day is considered spam?

The issue I have is the word "Ban"..

• It's not possible to Ban people from @dbuzz or #HIVE
