Description

ABSTRACT Community member jar0d has a very long history of being verbally combative and disrespectful toward nearly all other community members, and engages in this activity nearly every single day. In fact, since the DAO instituted a mute mechanism, jar0d is one of the most muted member of the community. Jar0d has repeatedly referred to community members by disrespectful an derogatory names that include but are not limited to: Dumb Bitch Bitch Bigot Transphobe Sack of Shit Human Fleshlight Jar0d's vulgar language inside Decentraland Discord server and discussions forums, often includes profanity angers and escalate tensions between himself and other community members. As a result of Jar0ds disruptive conversations, on many occasions the entire DAO general channel has been put on a cooldown to slow communications. In effect, due to the actions of one instigator, the entire community is constantly being punished and therefore cannot effectively communicate. In my opinion, having observed the discussions of jar0d over many months, and despite the innumerous warning he has received to cease (and many mutes), he has continued to irritate, antagonize, and intimidate good people to the point many no longer choose to participate in Decentraland discussions out of fear of being verbally attacked and abused by jar0d. While some have called for more forceful moderation, I believe that action is an unnecessary policing of the entire community to simply mitigate the unacceptable actions of one member. MOTIVATION As I mentioned, jar0d has a very long history of being disruptive. He has received many public warnings; many have attempted to converse with him about his unacceptable behaviors privately via DMS; he has been muted many times; nothing has seemed to have worked, as he continues to this day to use the Decentraland discords and discussion forums as his personal platforms to engage in harassing, abusive, disruptive, and often libelous behaviors. SPECIFICATION Permanently ban jar0d from all Decentraland DAO Discord servers and permanently ban jar0d from all DAO proposal discussion Forums. Make a recommendation to the DCL Foundation that they ban jar0d from all Decentraland Foundation Discord servers and discussion Forums, as well; including in-world chat and voice communication channels, and any and all other current or future communication channels not mentioned. IMPACTS Decentraland DAO Community member Jar0d is currently serving a 1 week mute in the DCL DAO Discord. The impact of this short duration mute has been enormously beneficial. During this mute duration people have been freely able to engage in active productive conversations without the constant fear they previously encountered of being attacked, harassed, or interrupted by jar0d. IMPLEMENTATION PATHWAYS Permanently Ban user jar0d from viewing, or engaging with : All Decentraland DAO Discord servers All Decentraland DAO proposal discussion Forums. Recommendation to the DCL Foundation that they Permanently ban jar0d from viewing, or engaging with: All Decentraland Foundation Discord servers All Decentraland Foundation proposal discussion Forums. Ban userJar0d from using Decentraland platform in-World discussion and voice communication. Any and all other current or future communication channels not mentioned.

Voting Rationale

0xEae2…b50ANo5

I don't think a permaban is the way, I hope people, including DCL team, speak with their vote. Incremental disciplinary action seems better.

[quote="Unknower, post:27, topic:20290"] This attack in my DMs occurred because after he called me “unbearably smug”, I asked if he could return a set of TRUs that I once sent to him when I pulled away from that community due to toxic treatment from someone else. [/quote] When I say "this is not strictly accurate" what I mean is, you did not ask me that as part of the same conversation, or as a direct follow up in private. You waited until we were at an event, and I was clearly already agitated and being engaged by multiple other people to say "since I'm unbearably smug can I have my TRU I sent you back?" You have gone out of your way to paint a picture that makes you look like some innocent dove being attacked out of the blue for no reason when that simply isn't accurate. Was my response to you polite or something I'm proud of? No. Were you attempting to engage in good faith and kindness? Absolutely not. [quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] you still have not demonstrated a single thing I did to you to deserve this treatment [/quote] What was your intention at the TRU opening when you wrote "Since I'm unbearably smug, can I have my TRU back?" Why did you wait to ask until I was already in a tense conversation? Why exactly did I have your TRUs in the first place?

jar0dOct 04, 2023

[quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] Me: “since I’m unbearably smug can I get my TRUs back now jar0d?” [/quote] So you are suggesting this was the start of the conversation? I think I was pretty specific. Anyway, I know your cash grab is already paid out, but maybe finish your responsibilities to the dao before replying here again. ![go update your grant|460x282](upload://5PQoVsuFGrecCTTHj35G53Iq7b4.jpeg) Have you open-sourced all your code yet? that is a requirement for the category you selected. ![412sfgdf|690x209](upload://pTo1Vokm6Zn2h4r7CtjPzAeibJq.jpeg)

Once again you post vague denials of what happened without actually providing any context. You're right, after you said "fuck you" to me, I said this: ![Screenshot 2023-10-04 at 4.18.59 PM|690x175](upload://vcb2GPEdiNdaxlhqcFTdPsyVNIg.png) **Then I blocked you on Discord**. So apparently what you're saying is, in order to circumvent the fact that I had blocked you, you proceeded to DM me on Twitter/X to say "fuck you" once again! Thanks for providing that additional context, and admitting that you deliberately ignored my desire to stop engaging with you and found a different way to impose your abusive behavior against my will. I do believe that's called harassment. I'm sure you'll once again try to downplay and minimize this to make yourself look better, so I'll let you get whatever last word you want to get, but I will not be responding to you any further.

[quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] Me: “since I’m unbearably smug can I get my TRUs back now jar0d?” [/quote] It would seem hard to imagine this was the start of the conversation. Again, at best this is paraphrasing, but I would say misquoting. [quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] Jar0d: “I’m not going to pay gas fees due to your mental illness” [/quote] Ser, I'm not manipulating anything, and certainly not playing the victim. Just asking for clarification and giving my own opinion on th [quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] I think it would be better that you just own up to your tendency to manipulate the truth in an attempt to paint yourself as a victim [/quote] [quote="Unknower, post:36, topic:20290"] This entire argument aside - you still have not demonstrated a single thing I did to you to deserve this treatment. Not. one. single. thing. Because deep down you know it’s unacceptable, and you know the rest of us know. [/quote] This is a weird expectation. Did you ask me to do this? You entered an ongoing conversation where I was clearly already agitated to try and poke me, and I told you to "fuck off." There is nothing to justify. Then after you replied to my DM saying "fuck you too" I repeated myself. Again, sorry I hurt your feelings.

UnknowerOct 04, 2023

I believe the interaction I "glossed over" went something like this: Me: "since I'm unbearably smug can I get my TRUs back now jar0d?" Jar0d: "I'm not going to pay gas fees due to your mental illness" I didn't screen shot it either, because I would have let it go if you didn't start DMing me "fuck you" across multiple platforms. That said, I know Unikorn himself saw it, because he offered to pay the gas fees for you. But rather than get him or anyone else involved, I think it would be better that you just own up to your tendency to manipulate the truth in an attempt to paint yourself as a victim. This is perfectly demonstrated by your attempt to undermine my post here, saying my timeline is inaccurate or there was some extraordinary context that would justify your abuse. - You called me unbearably smug on Saturday, September 30th. - The conversation above where you said I had a mental illness happened on Monday at TRU's opening party in Spottieland, which started at 6PM EST October 2nd. https://x.com/Uniquehorns_nft/status/1708889714902942064?s=20 - Your DMs came in at 6:43PM and 7:51PM EST on Monday, October 2nd. So are you living in some non-linear version of time? Or are you just deflecting from the fact that you're trying to call me a liar to manipulate people into doubting that you were 100% the aggressor in this situation? This entire argument aside - you still have not demonstrated a single thing I did to you to deserve this treatment. Not. one. single. thing. Because deep down you know it's unacceptable, and you know the rest of us know. We all fought for your right to free speech, but that doesn't mean we're going to shield you from the consequences of it.

jar0dOct 04, 2023

I didn’t screen grab the dcl convo, so it’s difficult to demonstrate how that is a misquote of what i said, or provide the context leading up. Your timeline is also inaccurate, but again i didn’t screen shot the dcl chat, so hard to prove anything meaningful. I’m sorry i hurt your feelings.

UnknowerOct 04, 2023

> This request resulted in him publicly defaming me by saying I have a “mental illness”. I am neurodivergent, which is a psychiatric disability that greatly impacts my life, but it does not automatically equate to poor mental health. I'm not sure why you need me to repeat something I've already said. Sounds a lot more like you don't actually have anything to show.

jar0dOct 04, 2023

So… you agree i’m not defaming you? Anyway i sent your tru back yesterday.

UnknowerOct 04, 2023

I've stated my piece and I'm not playing this game with you. If you have evidence that you think justifies your toxic behavior towards me, then show it.

jar0dOct 04, 2023

Where am i trying to defame you?

UnknowerOct 04, 2023

I'd love to see whatever details you think I glossed over that would ever justify this type of behavior. Please, post whatever else you'd like to use in your attempts to defame me.

dogmanOct 04, 2023

also me voted no and still dont believe in total dcl bans but something needs to be done bc this is a totally unworkable env. ![Screen Shot 2023-10-04 at 12.35.55 PM|434x500](upload://9YYcqA7WiKHtjPfQOFPKAIMstnW.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2023-10-04 at 12.36.18 PM|616x114](upload://pIMQoLLPySn7nanCRNTnZ42qh2b.png)

jar0dOct 04, 2023

This not strictly accurate, at the least it glosses over some details. Aldo check your wallet, $3 was better then i expected.

UnknowerOct 04, 2023

Though I voted no on this due to not wanting to set a precedent, I just wanted to document how I've been treated by this individual over the past few days. ![Screenshot 2023-10-04 at 12.02.27 PM|690x54](upload://A9LNNeHlWbOWv6ZGTWEGEM9XE6w.png) ![Screenshot 2023-10-04 at 11.48.33 AM|488x148](upload://pm7WIU8g0S55wCsmoHkoU7hIYI1.png) ![Screenshot 2023-10-04 at 11.43.03 AM|630x499](upload://43XakuO5DOTD6I9b5ssIIAmeCtA.png) This attack in my DMs occurred because after he called me "unbearably smug", I asked if he could return a set of TRUs that I once sent to him when I pulled away from that community due to toxic treatment from someone else. This request resulted in him publicly defaming me by saying I have a "mental illness". I am neurodivergent, which is a psychiatric *disability* that greatly impacts my life, but it does not automatically equate to poor mental health. I have blocked him wherever possible and would encourage everyone to do the same.

:rofl: I never asked for VP... so it can be taken away and, at least, I would still have my integrity, ... but you're right... do what you do.

jar0dAug 20, 2023

Sadly I don't think we can police something like that, but it should be something we call out when we catch it, as it is an obvious way to attack the dao and create a false sense of community support for things that are actually not popular in the least.

DedHeadJAug 20, 2023

I have never applied for a grant, nor will I ever apply for a grant. Get your facts straight!

ArtReYouAug 20, 2023

I don't think this would be possible :)

JasonXAug 20, 2023

Please do not apply for any further grants :wink:
