The Inquiring Times by #NewsTeem will be covering a diverse range of topics. We are sharing knowledge about the Steem Block Chain, giving props to the people who make it a better place, and covering any topics that we feel the Steemiverse will appreciate.

For some background on how this all started, you can read our Introduction to NewsTeem. We have been working hard on this for a few weeks, so I hope you enjoy!

### Support those who are Working To Expose Abuse, and Protect the Rewards Pool.

Now, for our Main Feature, and it's an important topic for anyone who is commited to the future of this community. This will be an on-going series promoting the amazing people who give their all for this community. They analyse Data, investigate spam, scams, and other suspicious activities which threaten all of our investments here. I give 100% of myself to Steem. When I see that there are people stealing from me and the community that I love, I know I have to do something! Right now my mission is to spread awareness of those people who do the hard work. In the meantime, I am learning more ways that I can help!

"I love data and analytics. If you look at centralised social media platforms I can only get the data that they will allow me have. So real and optimal analysis can be difficult. But with Steemit everything is transparent. All of the data is there." - @paulag

"I have been a lurker on this platform since it's early days and I have been one of the many passive bystanders for way too long. Something needed to be done, whenever I tried bringing awareness to abuse, it was often shunned with disinterest and I had to go to lengths to prove my point. One day I had enough, so I decided it was time to make my findings publicly known, in the hopes of getting more attention that way. I guess it did kind of work out so far." - @sherlockholmes

"For those who are unfamiliar with the group, Steemcleaners goal is to track down those who would pass off other people's work as their own for profit, scam, or spam the good citizens of Steem. They use the tools at their disposal to educate and/or flag abusive content to try and make life difficult for those who are trying to cheat the system." - @mikepm74

"Our own guardian Steem angel @discordiant has created the Anti Abuse Team as of August 28th." - @narconaught

This artcle shows the efforts led by @discordiant to keep MSP and it's Bots free from spam and abuse. * **Welcome! MSP Anti Abuse Team** --- ### #MSP-Waves 24/7/366 Steem Radio Station

There are no easy answers in this space and everything could change in an instant with a fresh interpretation of the rules by our unelected bureaucratic overlords. ^{(From: How to Launch a Crypto Currency Legally by @Dan Larimer})

Here, I've gathered together as much information and resources as possible to try and understand the situation we face with the SEC.

This is a growing new community with a bit of a slower pace than some of the others. Great place to get to know people if you can have a hard time keeping up to speed in other chat servers. #### Popular #SteemitBC and #BIsteemit Posts >"At Steemit Blogger’s Central (SteemitBC) we have been helping users on the Steemit platform for over 2(*now it's 3*) months now.
