Hey hey! Welcome to the Coommunity
When you signed up for the forum you should have received a message (from me :D) which outlines the Community Guidelines.
Within those guidelines there is a section entitled:
What Should I Do if I'm Feeling Attacked or Uncomfortable?
Below it is a guide to report any post, comment, or message, to the NEAR Forum moderators.
The Community Guidelines (and guides for reporting) were also shared here:
This is (and should be) outlined by the specific DAO:
Openly, in each and every proposal thread. It’s really important to note that proposals, particularly those aimed toward the Community Squad DAO + Fund, are not just inviting comments from the Council. Rather, we invite comments and feedback from every single NEAR Community Member who wishes to share it.
There are very few occasions where proposals are rejected entirely, we always want to allow people the freedom and flexibility to pursue their creative proposals.
In my opinion, yes. Absolutely. The ultimate goal of the NF is to make itself redundant and pass everything over to the Community. This requires a certain level of community-driven accountability. In fact, this is integral to working in an open source ecosystem.
Personally, I welcome questions from anyone and everyone in regards to how we operate. The NF is, fundamentally, transparent - particularly toward the community.
There’s a difference between questioning the routes that funds have taken and making derogatory accusations toward someone’s character. The former is fine, the latter is not.
I’d encourage anyone and everyone to please review the Community Guidelines:

Please make use of the reporting function. There are administrators and moderators in the Forum for a reason. We won’t stand by and nurture a toxic environment. However, we do, and should, encourage community-driven accountability and, on occasion, some of those questions can be tough.
Can you expand on this, please?
