Discord bans - some facts
Guys, there are a lot of myths about the bans on Discord in this thread. Let me present some hard facts.
There are not hundreds upon hundreds of people banned. The actual number is slightly north of 200.
Out of those, near half have been sent away for posting pump & dump groups, spamming referral links and similar. We will not let our huge community become a space for advertisement profit.
Out of the rest, most of them thoroughly deserved losing their privilege, with multiple instances of physical threats and death threats, or being truly nasty to other Discord (and/or team) members.
Then finally there are some who got unlucky with circumstance and probably deserved to get another chance. But with 2000 members online at any given time, some times discussion move fast, escalates quickly and the moderators are only human.
I have let multiple people back in upon request, and any such request is taken to the team for re-evaluation if I am not sure you deserve that second chance. Should you feel part of that last group, please DM me here and I will do what I can to be fair.
Thank you for busting the myth of widespread bans for no apparent reason. Your post clarifies some of the reasons for bans which appears to be in line with normal house rules for any private forum.
Appreciate your honesty in acknowledging that in fast moving forums with thousands of simultaneous postings, mistakes can be made, and those impacted are given a second chance on application.
I would like to quote previous posting that I read, that may assist in new house rules/future banning actions...

"Perhaps we should implement a new etiquette in Cryptosphere, where banning /deleting information needs to be banned, and free flow of information is critical for establishing trust in an anon environment. I cannot envisage too many situations where banning /deleting information could be justified. Control and shaping of information is a fiat scam to enslave individuals by promoting biased narrative and has no place in Cryptosphere."
