This is a very thoughtful piece, and I really can sympathize with both Cass and the whales.
The whales have seen so many people come in and take everything they can from Hive. They want to protect this wonderful place from thieves.
Cass is a new member who is excited about joining, and making her first posts. She is going to make mistakes. But they won't be intentional or repeated.
I wonder, how can we find a solution acceptable to both the whales and Cass?

Thanks for saying so, I aimed for thoughtful, so I'm glad that shone through. And I love that you're seeking a solution that's acceptable to both sides. That's exactly what I hoped people would do. You rock, thanks for the pizza, and wishing you a great day! 🙏
Thanks so much for the kind words ♥️
I don't see why it has to end badly, so long as the one who broke the rules is willing to change. It only makes sense to punish someone until they have learned. Punishment is about removing the bad habit and preventing it from ever happening again, after all.
By the way, I just met a new member, this is their second post :) https://ecency.com/hive-174578/@tatoodrose4/dear-someone
The first was a short intro, asking for help. I think this one needs some help to avoid those landmines you mentioned :)
My pleasure, thank you as well.
I agree, it doesn't have to end badly at all, but from the tone certain parties offer up, you might conclude that they're aiming for such an outcome regardless, lol.
I guess it depends if people are focused on rehabilitation as a solution or if ostracization or ejection is preferred.
Usually @lovesniper or other wonderful Hivers discover new accounts like that and give them a warm welcome and a pointer in the right direction. Many people even link my Hive guide to newbies. I wish landmines on no one. :) 🙏
Thanks, I'll give the link - and go meet your friend too :) It was good that in this case, the intro won't cause any problem. The Freewrite community is very welcoming, and I am positive that both posts actually would have been accepted happily. Seeing that we are encouraged to use any of the past word prompts, I'm pretty sure one of them must have been in there somewhere 🤣
