I have no idea what specifically is referred to here. It's certainly been made clear that abusing the reporting system is actionable, that we'd greatly prefer that appeals to disciplinary measures not be tried in the court of public opinion, and that complaints about rule-breaking belong in a post or profile report, not out in open forum. There's reasons we want such things handled in PM and not out on open forum, and none of them have anything to do with suppressing disagreement regarding staff decisions.
If anyone on staff has hinted, suggested, or outright stated that disagreeing with staff decisions will have repercussions then that's something that needs to be looked into because it certainly is not a matter of policy to do so. I'm not saying it didn't happen - but if it did, it shouldn't have, and it needs to be rectified.
