The First-Post Button
I love discovering brand new users who has got no love and bring them up to the attention of others. Many groups wants to do something about this, but what I suggest is that we add a new list to the top of steemit.com so that we all can see when brand new users write their very first post on steemit so we can meet them and greet them in person, give them some help and encouragement, tips to improve their post and help them understand the system.
There is a lot of projects that want to help new users, but I think the best way is if the open society of steemit can observe them easily themselves and the experience of joining steemit and posting the first time can become a personal experience that we all can participate in without having to belong to a dedicated group that may or may not turn out to be as good or helpful as the initial intention.
The "Block This User" Button
Facebook has it, Twitter has it, Reddit has it - There is obviously a huge demand for it and would be very helpful for the individual user to block people they don´t want to interact with on steemit for their own personal reasons.
The Block-Function probably don´t need to be displayed as visible as I illustrate in this design, but every user on steemit.com need to feel safe to produce content without hecklers coming in and spamming the comment-section and disturbing everyone in the theater.
This will make all the flag-wars stop completely.
Thanks to for bringing up ProjectNewbie to our attention, and to everyone who engage in these questions and debates, really awesome of you :)
