The time has come to explain exactly what the Latin phrase on the coin means. Roughly, it says, "Do no harm, take no shit." To be more specific the second part says "You'll take no shit" Now that we've got the subtleties out of the way, let's talk about why this is our motto and what to expect when attempting to do harm on PALnet. This is where @nopal4u comes in, because while we are a liberty and peace oriented group, voluntarism should never be mistaken for pacifism .
We're monitoring and hunting for spam to keep PALnet from mirroring the current state of steemit and to stop people from wrecking the economy in a similar fashion by gaming the rewards pool. When we see people making multiple accounts and creating botnets and one-man circle jerks of spammy garbage or plagiarism, they'll get nuked (some sooner than later). Why should this matter to you?
Everyone gets a free 100% downvote tied to their PAL stake every day. If you hold PAL and want it to retain value, it's just as much your job as any of ours to take out the trash. In fact, we'll even do one better. If you see abusive content (which yes is subjective) and don't have the power to flag it all the way down yourself, you can report it in our Discord server in the #msp-abuse-reporting channel. We'll review it and if we agree that it needs to go, we will help finish the job.
All of this works to keep the reward pool larger for legitimate users and hinders the ability of bad actors to devalue the token. We designed the rewards pool and power structure of PALnet this way specifically to empower the users and build a stronger community with more incentive to actually stake and hold tokens than many felt they ever had on steemit. Simply put, if you want something better, then we all have to work to build it. Much love. Do no harm, but take no shit.
