While it seems frustrating to go to discord to resolve a problem, it is the most direct way to deal with the problem.

Many, like myself, refuse to join another social site in order to operate on this one. It seems odd to have to do that. I know for myself, given all I have read of Discord, will never have an account with them. Seems to me that if someone is going to appoint themselves police of Steemit, they should make themselves available on the platform they are acting as judge and jury on and not a different one.
