法无禁止即自由 Absence of Legal Prohibition Means Freedom

　　昨天文章发出后，有朋友私下发信息问我，你文章中指的是谁？我一笑了之说道，你没看到我文章都没写名字么？这不仅仅是给对方起码的尊重，更重要的是我对事不对人。我是对其的做法不认同，又不是对这个人不认同，这是两码事。

   After publishing my post yesterday, some friends messaged me in  private and asked, “Who were you referring to?” I laughed it off by  replying, “Don’t you see that i omitted the name on purpose? Just out of  basic courtesy/respect to him/her, and more importantly, we shall focus  on the matter itself rather than the person involved. I only disagreed  with his/her action, that’s all. This should be clarified. 

　　大神abit给予了我们几个人权限，支持我们一起来负责维护steemit中文社区，当然，这话说的过于夸张，说白了，就是abit信赖我们，让我们来点赞我们自己认为优秀的帖子，这个很好，不仅仅是信任，我个人更觉得责任更大了，就如同我一直讲，权力越大，就应该更加谨小慎微、战战兢兢地把事情做好，上对得起。。。开个玩笑，扯远了。

     The mighty Abit gave a few of us the authority & support to  manage the Chinese community on Steemit... ok maybe that sounds a little  exaggerated, simply put, Abit trusts us, and allows us to upvote the  posts that we like. Which is great, this is not only trust, but also  responsibility. I always emphasize that, the greater one’s power, the  more mindful he should be while performing his tasks with due  diligence.. (With great power comes great responsibility.) 

　　下面言归正传。

　　今天轮到我开茶馆，我拟了个新议题，当然，也不是完全新的，类似话题这几日大家也都在讨论，就是《如何发展壮大steemit中文社区》，这个话题听起来很大，实则不然，我始终坚信，只要人人都贡献一份力，哪怕是微弱的，相信steemit一定能创造更辉煌的明天。

       It’s my turn to host the Teahouse today, and i’d like to suggest a  new subject for discussion. Actually it’s not new because it has been a  trending topic lately, which is, How Shall We Develop Our Chinese  Community on Steemit? It seems like a huge topic, but really it’s not,  because i believe that as long as everyone contributes a little, no  matter how miniscule, Steemit will have a wonderful future. 

　　我提议优秀帖子推荐制，如同汉代举孝廉制度一样，大家也可以推荐自己认为优秀的帖子到我们茶馆帖子下边。虽然这个制度不是最好的方法，但在当下，至少我能够想到的，我自认为还是比较好的方法。我也讲过了，你也可以毛遂自荐，不用觉得害羞，举贤不避亲，只要你认为自己够优秀，我们自然敞开大门热烈欢迎！

      I suggest that we upvote Steemit posts based on general  recommendations, similar to the Xiaolian Standard of Nomination in Han  Dynasty (150s BC.) You all can recommend good posts in our Teahouse  comment section, which is probably not the most ideal way yet, but at  least it’s what i think, the best at the moment. Of course, you’re more  than welcome to recommend your own posts, as long as they have  substance. So please don’t be shy. We welcome all! 

　　另外，我们几个人在讨论如何更好制定规则时，起初也有些争议，但我也始终相信，既然商议，就是商量着讨论，反正门关着，几个人开会，争辩、甚至吵论，都没关系，但门打开后，就要绝对保持一致，至少不能公开唱反调。

     When we discuss how to work towards a better regulatory  environment, we might have certain disagreement. It’s alright to have  arguments in private, but as soon as an agreement has been reached, we  shall all honor it, without publicly opposing each other. 

　　各位看电视新闻，君不见各国开议会时还经常打架呢，有些甚至是现场直播，不要笑，这不可笑，相反，我认为这是民主的表现，我很赞同。当然，民主的另一面也有它不好的，比如效率低，但没关系，我们可以商议，毕竟人不多，没有联合国上百个国家那么多，想达成个协议，那才是难上加难呢？

     You probably have seen it on TV how, during a parliament meeting,  the members fight against each other, even on live broadcast. It’s not  funny, don’t laugh. On the contrary, I think it’s what democracy is  about, which i agree with. Of course, democracy has its downside too,  for example, inefficiency. But it’s alright, we can discuss it here,  there are only a handful of us, unlike the UN which has 193 countries.  How difficult it is for them to reach an agreement! 

　　对此，我提出了关于群里今后讨论的几点意见，供大家拍砖：

      Therefore, I come up with a few ideas on how we shall make decisions in the community from now on. Please give me your feedback: 

　　1、今后群内但凡提出任何限制的议题，都要经过全体通过。如果有任何一人反对，要么放弃，要么改方法。

        1.   Any subject on prohibition, it must be a unanimous decision. As  long as there is one person opposes the prohibition, we shall either  drop it, or amend it. 

　　2、我们只限制真正想要限制的；

        2. We shall only prohibit what truly needs to be prohibited. 

　　3、反之，如果没有限制的，就是允许的，至于有问题，那至少不是法规的问题；

        3. On the other hand, as long as it’s unprohibited, it’s allowed. If there’s an issue, it’s not a matter of regulation/rule/law. 

　　一句话，法无禁止即自由！

      In short, absence of prohibition means freedom!
