@brooke @retrohondajunki they did not ask what "benefit of the doubt" means, but the request for "more background" shows a lack of understanding of what benefit of the doubt means. "Benefit of the doubt" is what you give when you don't have more background.
"Benefit of the doubt" is very similar to our principle of "assume good faith" in wiki world.

"How should you interact with known bad actors" is a different question.
