How can whales shut down problems in current system?

I suppose through not voting for people who are bad actors and the reputation system and flagging - obviously it is not perfect, but neither is the proposed solution here.

I'm not saying we should not consider refinements - I'm just saying we need to be very careful that we don't just replace one potential problem with another one.

The whole idea of having a complaints system that is voted on seems to be asking for abuse. It might actually put certain people off joining, particularly if they are people who have attracted controversy or suffered online abuse in the past.

It also does nothing to deal with the bad actor who is intent on destruction and no longer cares for their investment in the platform - the "burn the house down scenario". It could be someone who is wealthy or just outright crazy, maybe a bit of both.

That said I am not someone who doesn't change his mind based on rational arguments in favour of something and it is not for me to impose my opinion on others (sorry if it might sometimes seem that way).

Anyway I know you won't make any decisions without careful thought and taking community opinion into account. Just wanted to add my thoughts - you probably understand these issues more than most of us.
