Spot on @crosheille.

Some don't understand how community consensus works and think whales make the 'rules' because they have a big stake. Yes and no. A bigger stake can influence pay rewards either up or down based on the stakeholder's view of the author or his/her post's merit or demerit (rules). But the community may or may not agree with the stakeholder's rule. A stakeholder who constantly supports, say low effort recycle post in Hive, doesn't mean than recycling is acceptable here. Also, what's acceptable four years ago, or on other shit chains now may not be acceptable on Hive today.

Too many people, including old timers, say "I didn't know" when they break the rulea. Perhaps if they were more involved in the community and engaged more, instead of just coming online everyday to drop their poat they'd understand how community consensus works and what it is.
