I scribbled this in a hurry before in a comment. @nilllzz
requested me to post this in the questions section of the "Game Jolt" community, so here goes.
One weakness in the community system, now that you are posting about rules. Comments on community posts live apart from the community, which is logical since the posts can be part of multiple communities after all, and even to GJ as a site as a whole. I've blocked my alt account for an hour from a community I own so I could see what being blocked does, and my blocked account could still comment. I understand why, and given how the community system works, I don't think it should be done elseway, but this leaves people who get blocked room to harass the crap out of community members as "revenge" for their block. Now if they would post their harassment on my own post I can still delete them, but if the posts are not mine, I am, since I'm no longer a GJ moderator, powerless, and if people have the intend to kill my community they have as such a lot of ways to do so. Harass the crap out of other people who'll leave the community, I as community mod cannot do anything about it, in the end community empty, and the harasser won. Somebody already posted a suggestion about this on gj-improve and I cannot deny this is a weakness in this system. Have you guys given a full thought about that? (Trust me, Game Jolt is but one of the many sites I've served as a moderator, so I know it's just a matter of time before this is gonna happen. I know how trolls/bullies are. Experience taught me that).
