Music is a bit quiet, I'll fix it next time :)

Definitely agree. Spam accounts like this are not welcome, and they should feel that way. There's already enough spam here, and we need some real action to try and stop it.

Wars are waged with opinions. If there's proof then there's no longer reason for a war, because the answer is obvious and one side is overwhelmingly right. Welcome to human nature.

'If they want my cryptocurrency, then take it. It matters not to me.' If it matters so little, why don't you decline payouts? After all, they aren't contributing at all to your wealth, and in reality are

It's good to get the word out that it's done? So more people follow the example? You know the media pushes these things right? When one psychopath sees that another person has shot a bunch of people, they

I don't know, I really don't. I'm torn about the idea of not being able to get anything off the blockchain. While having a platform for free speech is great, and it has numerous advantages, it also brings

Umm? I think you missed the point. The cat is down-voting posts that use the bots after they are 3.5 days old. This post is not.

Yeah, the spam comments definitely do still have their own downside. Turning people away from the platform because all they see is bots and spam. However, it doesn't have the direct economic affects that

Okay, let me get this right. Child porn is okay (because it's not objectively right or wrong, because nothing is). Therefore, if it isn't right or wrong it must be okay. So, that means for you, ruining

We will have to agree to disagree then. Some things are just inheritanly wrong (or they very well should be). If we use your thinking, then I can justify anything 'oh, I killed him because he stepped on

So Child Porn and pirated content shouldn't be censored and should be able to be seen by all? Gotcha.

I have to second this opinion! It seems that the whole point of this conflict has been completely avoided and nothing useful has actually come from it. Whether or not his posts are 100 or 50/50 he is still

Wow, that's not bad at all. What votebot was that using?

I understand your belief and concerns, and I do agree with your post in many ways. But I do have one question: If this is what you believe, then do you believe it is also fair that one user becomes extremely

There definitely is. The child porn and piracy on Steemit? Should we just keep it and let it be visible to all? There should also be a way to permanently delete posts and get them off the platform.

I have to agree with this idea and the above post. I wrote a comment the other day about it, but it seems that people feel emotionally attacked when they are flagged, and that is the cause for some of

Hmm, that's odd. I used to use Randowhale, Bellyrub and Buildawhale relatively regularly but never seemed to get back as much as I put in. But then again, I never actually did the math, it just felt that

I totally agree that flagging is a horrible idea that doesn't work. Maybe the concept of flagging is in the right place (trying to let the users balance payouts where they think they are deserved). However,

What I learnt is that Steemit's 'user moderation' system just doesn't work. It just represents human nature on a smaller level, factions are created, wars are waged... You get the point. I think it's great

So now that the Haejin drama is over we have this to deal with...? I know that the whole point of Steemit is to create a decentralised essentially self-run community, but it definitely doesn't seem to
