From Discord ANNOUNCMENT !
The Discord server is one of the primary means of communication for the Giant project. It plays a major role for many people to start using Giant. Sadly, this same channel can be used for malicious activities. On several occasions, some users deliberately tried to spread FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to provoke a panic sell and buy cheap coins. Although we are open to any kinds of discussion, we cannot ignore such efforts and put new community members at risk. This becomes even more important in the light of the recent community growth throughout the last month.
:shield: This is what brought us to the following decision: if the user demonstrates aggressive behavior in the chat, ignores all of the counterarguments and never tones down, it leads to a FUD role a prohibition to post messages in all chats on our server. This isolation is a good alternative to banning, as we dont want to deprive this toxic user of the project info source altogether.
:gic: And now lets switch to good news. The yesterday update of verification of the masternode owner role has caused a wave of user activity and at the moment, over 30 users have acquired the digitally-signed role. It will allow them to take part in the upcoming vote. @Bruttagente has made the verification process as stable and fast as possible. As a reminder, you can verify your masternode owner status with a digital signature to take part in the future voting with the help of this guide:
