If any community members hold serious concerns, they can start a proposal to halt what someone is doing. mission: values: This community shares a bias for action and a commitment to empowering and encouraging its members. Exceptions should be on the basis of serious ethical or moral concerns, not disagreements. Do-ers should keep in mind the best interests of the community as a whole and consult with community members when those interests are not clear. legal:
