A network wide/community vote system must be built, scheduled and done on the blockchain to soft fork by coding this kind of thing out of the community.
Coding it Out. I like that phrase, it is powerful. And democratic.
That's the 2-sentence short version. Keep reading for the fulsome version where I expand on things.
I have broken this down into 2 simple parts:
1/ Overview of the Problem with Facts & my opinion as a Community Member.
2/ Proposed Democratic Solution within the parameters of the Blockchain currently being exploited.
We are here for Liberty and free speech. But when that is threatened by people as naturally happens, we in the Liberty movement have to be able to address such things as they (sadly.../ inevitably)-- arise.
Abusers like this will use the governance model against the system for their own selfish gain. This has been exposed. so, let's deal with it. We have an opportunity here for positive change.
Adapt. Use the same blockchain governance to look ahead, and do something positive here.
I have never been one to just complain and not try to help. I know I am not an IT guy and make it clear regularly but you don't need to be, to know when enough is enough in terms of governance problems or glitches, bad policy, gaming a system, bullying or harassing. This problem has all of these.
It offers us a chance to shed light in an area DURING BETA launch phase that needs improvement and honestly, that is how I am approaching this.
Today I noticed not only are the main posts being flagged but now a lot of people's comments and replies to posts. This is getting ridiculous now. The proof is right in your posts, go look. And see the screen cap below.
Simply put - this is abuse of the system and people. It is lowering community morale, confidence, activity and engagement and there are already enough issues on the platform to deal with.
I understand someone making a political stance by creating accounts/bots/scripts to profit as we have seen, or counter all the trends they disagree with and in principle that is largely fine.
I've been in the public eye for YEARS with my activism calling out government corruption so I am someone who has publicly taken stances to defend Liberty and best practices where most have not. I have some idea practically here.
I get it.
But. THIS.
In reality this trolling practice by this account on here is not working. I hate censoring and fascism and gaming the systems as much as anyone and that is pretty easy to find about me.....but this is basically daily bullying now and suppression without warrant.
It has been suggested we just go and manually UV (upvote) our own posts/comments where this account is now DV comments, to counter it.
NO.
- Why should we the members have to comb thru posts and then manually do something, we should not have to do -- just to counter a nefarious practice and "get back to breaking even" on a post or a comment? Don't we have enough to deal with in life, without all this extra work that should not be required?
That's not a solution, that is a band aid. The root cause here needs to be addressed.
This account (and others like it) -- were funded by other accounts to seed their start up. Further, you can see I have highlited their amount of vested power in the platform which will continue to grow, since they cannot be flagged.
They will continue to "curate" and can transfer 10k, 50k or 100k of Steem power into their account and their power to control you and suppress your engagement and social and financial success on this platform.
Again, veiled in the processes of blockchain Liberty we love and usurping it.
We cannot continue to turn a blind eye to such behaviours if we claim to love Peace and Liberty.
As many of us know and those that did not -- you can clearly see the agenda of this account. And perhaps more to come.
Some of us have stalkers in life. What happens when they find us on here and do similar things? What then?
The worst offenders in life will continue to hide behind fake accounts + aliases under the guise of "Liberty" or "Privacy" -- while stealing THAT from others.
To counter these kinds of behaviours by such types, there needs to be something in the governance model here, changed, and built into the system where a hard code vote can take place, with ___ days notice for such abusive things, a democratic vote taken and stamped into the blockchain. My steps for this are just ahead in point form.
Fighting fire with fire and being FAIR about it. A community vote.
Proposed Solution:
Send the account(s) in question a message that MUST be opened ie - at next login or withinin 12 hours, addressing the issue. I am not a coder. But it can likely be done easily.
Message should contain a democratic message of sorts consistent with Liberty and Blockchain best practice. something to the effect of the damage it is causing and the hassles and infringing on the community which has been SUPER clear + stamped into the blockchain. State also that their work has been noticed. Flows into next democratic point:
Outline possible solutions such as a cease and desist, warn them of an impending community vote on the issue and that they cannot use their account unless they REPLY with their reasons for the behaviour to this point and also - they must state their intentions go-forwards. Account cannot proceed to post or vote or comment until they sign in with their keys, like we have to for every other "transaction".
Code in a similar message to every account in the Steemit Ecosystem/Community. (A pop up or forced message that must be acknowledged before proceeding, same as above point -- keeping the same process for both offending and offended parties) stating that on ___ day or within --- days -- a vote will take place on this community standard issue/coding change/fork/implementation and state the case and link to it on a post -- for brevity sake. They can all go and review it.
On that day, no account (similarly to above login/pop up message) can use Steemit or proceed until their vote is cast on the blockchain.
Remind them this must be done for every account they have --- or risk future lockout. If they do not vote with all their accounts and miss the vote.... something similar to "accepting the policy of the vote outcome" should be stated to prompt/remind/warn them of said process.
I have thought a lot about this as a Regular Guy on here with no IT background but as a member who loves Liberty, not the crap we are force fed and told to believe that we have every day by those imposing their political will on us.
I believe this solution respects the spirit and integrity of the Blockchain, Liberty, best practices and the love and respect for one another we should daily strive to show one another, even our adversaries or those that oppose us.
I know Crypto Currencies like DASH for ex. can set a vote in their blockchain, have it dealt with and come to consensus within 24 hours on large issues from my research.
I also speak from the position of someone who has been harassed and stalked and threatened politically since about 2011 by those who impose rule over us as human beings and since 2013, by people who I personally and professionally decided were no good for my community and kept my word to distance myself from them.
That may sound awful and it is --- but this is the type of behaviour we should all rise up against and drive out of society. It shows what can happen. This account issue here flagging everyone has allowed us to look at solutions and why they need to be addressed.
People should speak from an informed and balanced P.O.V. and I have done my best to do this today for the benefit of the greater good -- something I am used to reaching for daily.
I would love to hear feedback from the community from everyone on this important current and future issue - from regular non IT / tech types like me, and that of the founders, whales, developers, etc -- like 
Thanks for your time and attention today.
