I propose that current Decentraland DAO Discord server community member jar0d be permanently banned from the Decentraland DAO Discord server.

The Decentraland DAO Discord server is a place where many community members gather in hopes of engaging in relevant and insightful conversations pertaining to the Decentraland DAO.

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 holds the title for being the most muted member of the community.

In fact, just today, jar0d had repeatedly called other member a bigot in an apparent attempt to cause anger and escalate tensions. As a result, the entire channel was put on a 6-hour cooldown. In effect, due to the actions of one instigator, the entire community is punished and 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, he has continued to irritate, antagonize, and intimidate good people to the point many no longer choose to participate in DAO 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.

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 DAO discord as his personal platform to engage in harassing, abusive, disruptive, and often libelous behaviors.

If the community would like the Decentraland DAO Discord to once again be a platform 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.

It is my hope that all of jar0d’s victims, both past and present, read this proposal and take the necessary action.

In doing so, it is my hope that the Decentraland DAO 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.

  • Yes, permanently ban member jar0d from the Decentraland DAO Discord server
  • No, do not ban member jar0d from the Decentraland DAO Discord server
  • Invalid question/options

Decentralized Governance is always going to be tricky - obviously exchanges get heated, hence why we have our discord moderation and mute tools. It’s important to cool people off without outright silencing them permanently.

What’s even more concerning, is that this is being pushed by Rob, with VP delegated from District X where he notoriously silenced contributors. Furthermore, he outright doxx’d Jar0d publicly, a far worse offense.

While I hope everyone would act with respect and honesty, we rarely see that in the DAO with such large amounts of $$$ involved - the least that we can ensure is that whales don’t simply silence and/or ban people they outright disagree with, especially not with delegated VP they arguably stole from the community/their own contributors.

I’m not so sure Jason is the person you want to build your attack on me off of.

The entire community just watched him put his Transphobia on display, and then when called out on it, he replied with the follow.

I think he’s most upset today because I asked @Dhingia how much of his grant money is going to DistrictX.

Rob doesn’t want anyone to think about the fact that most of the grants that passed this quarter are all paying him for one reason or another.

The “rent” he is charging, seems high if it wasn’t also coming with 4 million yes VP to get the money in the first place.

I should probably make sure to provide the context of exactly why RobL is upset with me.

While I generally appreciate the value of open discourse and inclusive platforms, I find it necessary to address the behavior of an individual known as Jar0d. It is important to emphasize that my intention is not to advocate for banning individuals outright. However, I must express my concerns regarding Jar0d’s conduct, which consistently involves provoking, belittling, insulting, accusing without evidence and using profanity. Regrettably, this behavior has had a negative impact, hindering productive discussions within the DAO channel…

Over time, I have come across various screenshots documenting instances of such behavior—ironically, in a manner reminiscent of Jar0d himself. One particularly significant example involved Jar0d referring to the co-founder of the platform in derogatory terms, employing highly disrespectful language. Such instances of personal attacks undermine the atmosphere of respect and collaboration that should be fostered within the community.

Woah! this is totally unacceptable. Hey Jar0d, can you explain why you are harassing a female voter this way?

9

Seems faked. There is no reason to trust MrD’s transphobic ass.

10

As for this, why so much editing of the images to remove context?

Seems like a lot of work to defend bigots and your landlord.

11

“Seems faked.” Proceeds to insult community members.

I’m voting Yes.

This is unacceptable behaviour @jar0d. @szjanko, @NikkiFuego and @MorrisMustang you should perhaps reconsider your position in light of all these.

Good luck with that.

Is transphobic and bigot your favorite word? Seems like u love harassing others with those words in Discord and Twitter.

Yes. When describing MrD, they are most accurate.

“Others” is that your nickname for MrD?

People abusing the flagging system is adorably petty

I really don’t think @Neyha appreciates yiu trying to use her without context. If you think our DMs are some how relevent to this conversation, i’d be happy to share all of them.

Is @METATIGER a girl?

Evidence here seems to support that you are fulfilling the definition of a coward since you talked about Dhingia and calling him names without tagging him on Twitter.

He was tagged in every tweet i replied to, that was why i replied. Please at least try and make an honest accusation.

Dhingia’s screenshot did not expose the person as a sense of privacy while you tagged the person you presumed the one in the screenshot. And here you are crying about being “doxxed”.
