Speaking for OCA, in general I don't think there's much misalignment when it comes to what I don't think should be supported.

I do think adjustments need to be made primarily in two areas.

• When someone breaks a rule, what to do and how to handle it.
• Dealing with the edge cases and grey areas.

When it comes to people breaking rules, there's really no need to insult them or call them names or really be antagonistic in any way. We have tools to deal with these things that I think are pretty effective.

If someone breaks a rule because of negligence, we should inform them of the rule they broke and mute the post. Flags are optional depending on the severity or maliciousness of what they've done, but in the end what people choose to flag is their own business so this is just my opinion. If someone repeatedly breaks the rules of a Community, they can be muted in that Community. If they are a severe, malicious abuser, they can be added to a blacklist as well.

I think this should be the typical order of doing things.

Of course some things are so obviously bad they can be instantly blacklisted like ID theft, but copying another artists work isn't at this level and in general if credited would usually not be frowned upon in the art world.

While it's not something I'd support, I think categorizing everyone that copys someone else's artwork a scammer or plagiarist is a step too far and in the big picture, harmful for the user experience because this is how a lot of amateur artists start out and develop.

In OCA, it's not allowed, but in general on Hive I think we need some other way to address this rather that attacking people and calling them scammers/plagiarists. I'm interested to see what other people think about this.

When it comes to edge cases and grey areas, I think we should lean on the side of tolerance and give people room to adapt. Posting someone else's art as your own or stealing someone's identity can't be a simple mistake or done out of thoughtlessness, but beyond that, I think we should give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they're only here to do harm.
