I'm quite relaxed about it - the rules have been pinned in the PAL discord server for two years.
Leaving individuals to coordinate 'policing' just seems to leave wealthier abusers free to do what they like.
I'll give this system a go!
We can always move on and create our own if it doesn't work out - or a better first step might be to take it up with the PAL lot in Disord first of course!

I really look forward to thousands of communities forming on Steem, as PAL has pioneered. People aren't clones, and PAL prolly should target a specific audience, and folks that think threatening comments are appropriate prolly aren't that audience. There is such an audience, though, and once they have communities that suit them, PAL will prolly have to deal with their disruptions a lot less.
Unfortunately I think such people like to prey on others, so this is the kind of community that suits them! It just requires constant vigilance on the part of the rest of us.
It just requires vigilance and active management - I think muting is effective - it's not permanent and it's their choice whether they want to act appropriately.
Well, there's going to be uncensored communities, insofar as it's possible, sooner or later. PAL can run it's community as it likes, and I'm completely in favor of that. I'm not prone to violent threats, but am awfully capable of making folks wish I could be muted. I'll have to keep an eye out to ensure the radical ideas and criticism I invite and emit don't cause me to have to censor myself.
I won't last long if I do.
