I didn't even realise the technology existed to do this on ProofofBrain, but apparently @proofofbrainio has muted @azircon after he made a post critical of POB whales, and after he bought 400 POB on the open market- muting on POB prevents him from being seen on POB and from earning rewards. ![Screenshot 2021-06-18 at 08.37.34.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRPeVhyE2BemfgQ7FTUN1hC6MR5LW9CkWdPEXf4nJxnDq/Screenshot%202021-06-18%20at%2008.37.34.png) I think muting prevents him from earning both posting AND curation returns too, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, here's a [link](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@azircon/no-financial-security-in-pob-investment) to @azircon's post on Hive - he basically explains why he won't be investing in POB due to the whales voting too narrowly and supporting someone he regards as a scammer. Azircon knows his shit when it comes to investing, there is no way this guy should have been muted on POB. To me this seems simple - someone has made what seems to me legitimate criticisms of POB whales, provided evidence and then those Whales (Whale!?) have/ has muted him. It's got me wondering as well - I don't know enough about how this works to determine whether this is a Fascist action (a small group working together to censor criticism) or just a straight up individual mad-dictator action (one person getting triggered). Either way this is BAD for POB, VERY VERY BAD. And if you're worried about the POB price - you're right to be, @onealpha is well aware of all of this and he's the guy propping up the POB price right now, it wouldn't surprise me if he starts buying less now. Anyway, I don't want to get caught up in the drama, but censorship triggers me, so I thought I'd share this and keep the issue alive! --- <center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@revise.pob/warning-pob-whales-are-now-censoring-muting-critics)</sub></center>

The guy was trolling, I saw it and now he's trolling the POB. Good riddance. I personally muted him too.

He was muted before he made that post. He was muted for his unwarranted downvote campaign against a tribe member. @onealfa has decided to support @azircon for some unknown reason. Anyone who was paying attention is aware of this. Please don't spread misinformation. --- <center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@proofofbrainio/qux69j)</sub></center>

In hive blockchain, downvotes are allowed. So is muting by a tribe admin. There is nothing unusual about it. A tribe is a business. A business can deny its services to an individual without asking anyone. However, after that, the same individual can write a review about that business and trigger an outrage. Exactly the same thing happened here, and will continue to happen, until the problem is fixed.

I thought only the tribe leader was able to mute someone. Are you saying that if you're a tribe whale you can mute someone too? I could be wrong, but I thought you needed an owner's access key to mute someone. You link Azircon's analysis of POB in your writing, but I don't believe that is what sparked the issue. Azircon's article was textbook. I think it was during commenting on someone else's article. No one would take actions like that against the article you cited outside of system voting. Jesus, I hope. Regardless, I read the mute was reversed following discussions with the community. I agree with others when muting should be applied for something fraudulent. A single post should not be a determining factor. I'm not glad it happened. I am glad we're moving onward. --- <center><sub>Posted via [proofofbrain.io](https://www.proofofbrain.io/@scholaris.pob/quyzk4)</sub></center>

That was the entire point of tribes and 2nd layer tokens. It's a feature of EVERY tribe not just POB. To ensure that each community could use their own rules, criteria, subject matter and rules to design their individual community and what it is about.
