While some of us are gathering SP to deal with them, you are just one of the many little "cucks", in your own words, who sit in your little corner clicking the upvote button on yourself.

Well, I applaud that. Let me know when you've accumulated a stake big enough to counter the likes of Bernie and questionable actors, including Steem, Inc.

Where the hell are you as Hive account@blocktrades put out polls for proposals. Where the hell are you as Hive account@steemalliance try to set up funds to attract dev talents?

You're talking about surface level-changes, not code deep. As long as STEEM has no identity verification (Oracles isn't enough) but actual DNA/fingerprint/some nongameable variation of that, polls are useless, as are any kind of account or stake-based voting alone.

That's right. You aren't there. You are just in your little bubble getting that 0.05 per placeholder.

Some of us got tired of spending 8+ hours a day "contributing to the STEEM community" by brainstorming ideas that never get implemented, pouring our own funds in to support other creators, ending up losing huge amounts of capital, etc.

I'm not complaining, but explaining "where I am." Doing other, more productive things, that's where.

Flag is part of the code. Get used to it. Or is code-is-law only happens when it benefits only you?

I never complained about the flag function. I support flagging. In fact, it seems to work well in these instances if the goal is to discontinue an account from posting. However, I'm pointing out that until you fix underlying mechanisms, you will be chasing the pot at the end of the rainbow implementing all these shallow-layer bandaids until your hands bleed.
