Community Action Plan ~ Standing Together For A Better Future

lighthouse-2372461_1920.jpg

Today I am calling on the WhaleShares community to come together and organize ourselves to deal with threats to the platform.

If abusive accounts are identified, they will become the focus of the Community Action Plan which will attempt a negotiated settlement.

The issue dealing with threats to the platform is that individuals are very different in their approaches to helping. People want a healthy environment, but may not want to be in the direct line of fire by flagging posts and getting flagged in return.

If you consider that the WhaleShares platform is like a human body, then the analogy can be explored further.

Our bodies react to a virus to fight it and bring it under control. Not every part of the body wants to fight, or can fight the infection. Most ailments can be fought off by the body but sometimes it needs help with antibiotics and other measures.

Sometimes, there is an existential threat to the body that will kill it in a very short time and with very little warning.

There are threats to the future of WhaleShares that, in my opinion, are fatal to the health and well being of a good social experience. The threat is here now and the situation is dire. The difference is, something like Hantavirus doesn’t announce itself or its intentions. It just kills you before anyone knows it was even there. We can clearly see what the issues on WhaleShares are. They are not hidden, unknown viruses. They are in plain view.

What does it say about us as a community if we can see a virus eating our body alive and we do nothing about it?

What is it about a body working together that makes it a body? It is the cooperation of the many parts to accomplish a goal. Whether it is eating, running or swimming. But the purpose of a body is life. We all strive for a good life, but if the health of the body is in jeopardy and we do nothing, it will deteriorate and eventually become debilitated and unable to defend itself.

I propose we protect our body. This WhaleShares body that is made up of our community members.

Community Action Plan

Today I am proposing a Community Action Plan ~ or CAP, to address threats to our home. I spend a lot of time here, and I consider it a very important part of my life. I hope you do as well.

The problem with threats to the blockchain is that there has never been a way forward that everyone could agree on. What we need is a way forward that allows people to be involved in ways that resonate with them, and is in keeping with their own values.

I present to you an organizational structure that will allow us to work together as a community to maintain a healthy environment for all. Well, except the accounts that constantly abuse.

But How? Everyone Who Has Tried In The Past Has Failed

We need to identify what is needed to fight and win a battle against a deadly virus.

We need a plan of action.

We need the will and tenacity to see it through.

If we win a significant battle as a community, we win not only that battle but all future ones including battles we never had to fight because we will have an immunity built up in the body. We may have to deal with an evolved virus in the future, but that is the future. A healthy body has a much better chance than a weak and weary body.

The Right To Bear Arms ~ We Have A Flag And We Can Use Them Together As A Community

If you would like to join the Community Action Plan, please consider enlisting in one of the following roles:

Leaders

communication-73331_640.jpg

The Community Action Plan group is looking for community leaders who will help lead and guide this project. Leaders must be decisive action takers who want to see positive change on the platform. These leaders should be men and women of good reputation with a history of having a passion for the platform and a willingness to see it succeed. This leadership group will make decisions together to direct diplomats, envoys and negotiators to contact abusive account holders.

Intelligence Officers

Without knowledge, we are blind. Intelligence officers perform an investigative role, which helps diagnose and uncover invasive and dangerous diseases that threaten our ecosystem. Their role is to bring these abusive accounts and practices to the attention of leaders.

Diplomats & Envoys

The very first step in any contemplated action is an assessment and diagnostic process.

Our diplomats will attempt contact with those who are behaving abusively in the community and offer diplomatic solutions. Our diplomats will report back to our leaders on an abusive account holders willingness to negotiate.

Negotiators

Our negotiators pick up where our diplomats and envoys left off, and are directed by leadership to enter into negotiations with abusive account holders to work out a solution and present it to the leadership group for approval, further negotiation or rejection.

Negotiators are community members who work cooperatively with our diplomats and envoys. If there is a reasonable solution to a problem, they will do their best to find it.

If a negotiated solution is reached, the abusive account must adhere to the agreement without fail. If not, the account is automatically added to the Dangerous Community Members list.

Dangerous Community Members

The point of no returns. Accounts added to the DCM list have rejected all efforts from our diplomats, envoys and negotiators.

If diplomacy and negotiations fail then CAP will add the abusive member to the DCM list and take action. Once a user is added to the DCM, they are treated as no longer able to be rehabilitated and will remain on the list permanently. DCM are no longer eligible to receive rewards on any posts and will be permanently flagged to zero on all future posts including all related accounts and/or accomplices.

We will ask individual Whale Token owners to automatically remove rewards when used on posts on the DCM list.

Fighters

Without people willing to be on the front lines, we have no way to combat a blockchain virus.

A large number of fighters will flag posts on the DCM list until the rewards are zero. Fighters will work in shifts to allow their mana to recover. We will need a very substantial fighting force to deal with threats.

Fighters will rotate on and off to allow a continued and sustainable assault on the virus so they can return fresh and ready to fight for our home.

Healers

hands-3753417_1280.jpg

Healers are people who do not want to flag, but hate what is going on and want to join the fight in a way that works for them. Healers will use their mana to UpShare fighter’s posts to offset their lower mana from flagging.

Medics

Medics are community members who are committed to reversing the damage done by retaliatory flags.

Token owners are welcome to contribute Medic tokens to reverse damage done by retaliatory flags.

Oracles

fantasy-3313964_1920.jpg

Oracles speak out on behalf of the community and are known for blessing those who are in the fight with additional UpShares to encourage and support those who are on the front lines fighting for a brighter future.

It is my hope that we will have a large number of oracles to bless the community with.

I appreciate you and I appreciate this community. If you would like to work in one of the roles I have suggested above, please contact me on the You Got Snekked Discord

If you are not on that server currently, you will land in a locked room and be given a Getting To Know You role to begin with. If you are comfortable leaving a message in the comments please feel free to do so.

At your service,
