The mute list...requires a bit of transparency imo. I'm looking at it now.
Regarding the whale, was that back about a month ago with Lucylin? Yeah, the community had a real issue with muting in general without explanation. I believe that's why it was reversed.
Do you know if any tribes have appeals processes for these mute lists? I'm waiting on a response now about it, but thought I would ask around.
I have no idea what happened with the POB mute list.
It's fine in my opinion for any community to create their own rules, mute, add flags, remove flags, have a weird reward distribution... etc.
That's the entire point of tribes.
Each person can decide which tribes to participate in or not.
When someone claims as a HIVE holder they have the right to police ALL the tribes.. That's a turn off to me. Each person just has to decide what they want to support. :)
