🤷‍♂ Leave them alone? I admit, I've seen plenty of people vehemently complain about Hivewatchers and downvotes when they've been caught for repeated plagiarism, identity theft etc. Those folks can go pound sand. This conversation is entirely around whether the idea of "no reposts" is good and valid. If enough people are complaining about it, then it may mean that it's not as much of a consensus as thought. In my post and opinions I'm making it pretty clear that I can foresee myself reposting content in the future, and if I get warnings from Hivewatchers I will ignore them and face whatever consequences.

Honestly, in a future with even more front end options, how do you see this playing out? If there are three art-centric front ends all powered by HIVE, displaying content only posted through their own interfaces, and I'd like to participate on each of them, the rule is going to be that you have to choose one to monetize and decline rewards on all others? It just doesn't make sense. While HIVE is small it's been okay to think of it as the community, but as we've grown and grow more it really needs to be thought of as an infrastructure... not a community. The success of HIVE will come when people are using sites and apps powered by HIVE without even knowing it... and at that point does it make any sense if an account called Hivewatchers drops into the comment section on someone's Liketu account and tells them that they're not using it right?
