No hard feelings at all Hive account@pangoli. As our members know well - it has always been made abundantly clear right from conception, that members who didnt follow our guidelines would be kicked without notice or warning. And I am certain that Hive account@zord189 and ANY other long standing member will confirm this. Hence I earned the reputation of "the boot" lol... but with all due respect, those guidelines and strict rules are precisely what make us the success that we are. In addition to that, whilst we may be a closed community... as a collective, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that we rank high in terms of outward support to steemit as a whole. Our members do a LOT for this platform and the people on it, whether they are members or not.... including me.

So perhaps you can take these points into consideration, not for a vote... but for clarity. :)
