gollark: The admins here are pretty good and I trust them to not utterly mess things up for the server, but I wouldn't trust this for, say, real-world financial transactions.
gollark: They do freeze accounts sometimes I think.
gollark: I don't know if they *have* actually used their admin powers for much, but it's important to know that it is not actually a cryptocurrency and is centrally controlled.
gollark: Krist is not exactly a cryptocurrency, also. The admins can do basically whatever.
gollark: Sure.
