Thought I'd keep the title short and simple this time, even though this might not attract as many people as I'd hope, sometimes minimalism is preferred. Think I'll change things up a bit and open with two of my personal favorite quotes:
“The simplest things are often the truest.”
Richard Bach 1936
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.”
E.F. Schumacher 1911
What I love about both these quotes is that they bring a sense of self desire to the foreground, reminding ourselves to not over think, or over indulge, but to focus on what matters. Simplify life when possible, no need to over complicate. I think we should try to remember that as a collective when changing things here own steemit, hard forks and soft forks alike, remember to always look for the simplest answer.
Now thats move onto some more grounded conversation...
What I've Been Up To
So if you are a follower of mine and actually stoped in on my posts recently 😉 you'd know I have been working on 2 bots as of late: 
I also hope to get back to doing more fun posts like my current 50/50 Cryptocurrency prediction contest and more Cooking and photography posts like my Flowers and Poem post (Awww how cute 😚 I know lol).
And finally of course will be to keep in the loop on all the current issues, topics, and chatter going on within the witness and Steemit community in general which leads me to SPAM and Reward Pool Issues.
SPAM
What are we going to do about users that create hundreds if not thousands of accounts and have these account upvote comments made on very old posts just before the 12 hour cutoff occurs (massive amount of extra data put onto the blockchain) with countless connected accounts? Just one list of them & its still large by
This is something I think we really need to look at, SPAM & Trolling can cause serious problems to a growing platform like our own. This kind of behavior really puts people off, even the best of us, most strong willed, can become a victim, and it just makes someone feel like giving up. Not only that, but within our unique social media platform it can actually effect the financial side of things. This kind of spamming will cause rewards to be drained from the pool (meaning less STEEM for all of the non-spamming good deserving Steemians. Which leads us to...
The Reward Pool
As for the Reward Pool some might think that all of these top trending posts is what is taking away from the little guy and not so much the recent SPAM. This is not entirely true. Just look at
