I'm thinking of 2 cases for "hateful" here: harassment of a specific person or hate speech.

In particular, I am wondering what people think the extent of penalties should be. Should all penalties just be related to the comments section (i.e. repeated offenders get banned from commenting), or should Manifold staff also be able to ban users entirely and/or fine them?

bounty reward structure:

• 5 mana for 1 sentence, 25 mana for 3+ sentences, 50+ for longer responses

• responses with no substance that are just trying to game rewards get 0 mana

• responses that make me seriously think can get way more mana (potentially beyond the 500 bounty I have set)

• no rewards for bad faith, inflammatory responses

Rewards will be entirely based on the quality of your response, not on whether I agree with you.
