in reply to using the power of consideration responsibly (what is personal attack what is trolling, can you lose power to consider)

I agree with the other Monks that the power of consideration is not used irresponsibly.

And who will check whether the decision to revoke the consideration rights of some Monks is taken rightly? "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" as Juvenalis already asked.

    Who watches the watchmen? They watch themselves :) or the gods watch them.

    I imagine janitors or power users, the folks actually making these types of decisions, would have final say, and if someone wants to appeal a decision, they might "/msg janitors" or gods or start a thread in Perl Monks Discussion... as gods would set this up, whatever protocol they decide is what would be used, just like everything on perlmonks

      Even the gods are human (and not only here on Perlmonks), so their decisions are likely to be as good (or bad) as the considerations of ordinary monks.

        Sure, but I don't see that as a problem. I've been around perlmonks a long time, and the gods are pretty level headed even tempered bunch
