Yes, it was a prominent debate early on and I think the eventual conclusion was that permitting PUA-type stuff can make the space really unwelcoming for some people (especially women) and can potentially lead to very negative consequences (sexual harassment/assault, etc.), so it was better avoided. I’m not sure if it was ever formally banned but it kinda became one of those “we don’t do that here” sorts of things.
