Linked Draft Proposal
Summary
I propose that current Decentraland community member jar0d be permanently banned from ALL Decentraland DAO discord servers and DAO discussion forums and recommend to the DCL Foundation that they ban him as well from their discord and forums as well
Abstract
The Decentraland DAO and Foundation Discord servers are a places where many community members gather in hopes of engaging in relevant and insightful conversations pertaining to the Decentraland.
While disagreements often occur, for the most part the community is able to engage in these disagreements respectfully.
However, community member jar0d has a very long history of being verbally combative and disrespectful toward nearly all other community members, and engages in this activity nearly every single day.
In fact, since the DAO instituted a mute mechanism, jar0d is one of the most muted member of the community.
Jar0d has repeatedly referred to community members by disrespectful an derogatory names that include but are not limited to:
Dumb Bitch
Bitch
Bigot
Transphobe
Sack of Shit
Human Fleshlight
Jar0dâs vulgar language inside Decentraland Discord server and discussions forums, often includes profanity angers and escalate tensions between himself and other community members.
As a result of Jar0ds disruptive conversations, on many occasions the entire DAO general channel has been put on a cooldown to slow communications. In effect, due to the actions of one instigator, the entire community is constantly being punished and therefore cannot effectively communicate.
In my opinion, having observed the discussions of jar0d over many months, and despite the innumerous warning he has received to cease (and many mutes), he has continued to irritate, antagonize, and intimidate good people to the point many no longer choose to participate in Decentraland discussions out of fear of being verbally attacked and abused by jar0d.
While some have called for more forceful moderation, I believe that action is an unnecessary policing of the entire community to simply mitigate the unacceptable actions of one member.
Motivation
As I mentioned, jar0d has a very long history of being disruptive. He has received many public warnings; many have attempted to converse with him about his unacceptable behaviors privately via DMS; he has been muted many times; nothing has seemed to have worked, as he continues to this day to use the Decentraland discords and discussion forums as his personal platforms to engage in harassing, abusive, disruptive, and often libelous behaviors.
If the community would like the Decentraland Discord channels and forums to once again be platforms where they can freely express their ideas, views, and concerns without the fear being incessantly attacked, then there must be accountability. In my opinion, those whose seemingly sole purpose of existence is to intentionally disrupt, irritate and annoy, should be permanently removed from the community.
Specification
Permanently ban jar0d from all Decentraland DAO Discord servers and permanently ban jar0d from all DAO proposal discussion Forums.
Make a recommendation to the DCL Foundation that they ban jar0d from all Decentraland Foundation Discord servers and discussion Forums, as well; including in-world chat and voice communication channels, and any and all other current or future communication channels not mentioned.
Impacts
Decentraland DAO Community member Jar0d is currently serving a 1 week mute in the DCL DAO Discord. The impact of this short duration mute has been enormously beneficial. During this mute duration people have been freely able to engage in active productive conversations without the constant fear they previously encountered of being attacked, harassed, or interrupted by jar0d.
However, during this time, jar0D has NOT been muted from the DAO proposal discussion Forums, where he continued to disrupt, irritate and annoy people.
This 1 week mute was very helpful in determining the impact of such a proposed ban.
While banning members is not something that should be taken lightly, in some cases doing so for the benefit of the entire community is necessary; this unfortunately is one such case that is necessary.
Implementation Pathways
Permanently Ban user jar0d from viewing, or engaging with :
- All Decentraland DAO Discord servers
- All Decentraland DAO proposal discussion Forums.
Recommendation to the DCL Foundation that they Permanently ban jar0d from viewing, or engaging with:
- All Decentraland Foundation Discord servers
- All Decentraland Foundation proposal discussion Forums.
- Ban userJar0d from using Decentraland platform in-World discussion and voice communication.
- Any and all other current or future communication channels not mentioned.
Conclusion
It is my hope that all of jar0dâs victims, both past and present, read this proposal and take the necessary action to permanently ban him.
In doing so, it is my hope that the Decentraland community can once again reclaim their right to engage with other members free from the fear of harassment. And approving this action will also serve as a deterrent and reminder to all others that the type of behavior that jar0d has for too long engaged in will no longer be tolerated within our community.
