You don't understand, this is a de-centralized system, there is no central Authority. Any authority I might have is derived from three sources:
1: The system has seen fit to give me a reputation of 56, which is relatively high
2: Believe it or not, about 80% of the people approve of what I do. I've been paid, and received upvotes and support from others.
3: I have strong Steempower, which gives my votes some weight.
