In accordance with the need for graduated sanctions in any healthy commons[^1], The Commons Stack may destroy some of the non-monetary token, CSTK, which represents reputation in the Trusted Seed. We laid out these conditions:
{% hint style="info" %} On the off chance that the Commons Stack Association loses faith in a member of the Trusted Seed, (specifically, if we suspect that their motivation is to extract value from these systems rather than to nurture them,) then graduated sanctions may be applied to the member in question, the most severe of which would be the burning of that person’s CSTK tokens. If it becomes necessary for us to take punitive action against a CSTK holder, the sanction(s) will be carried out with maximum transparency and community consultation. {% endhint %}
