RE: DON'T LET GREED DESTROY STEEMIT
There should also be some sort of repeat offender "jail" where we could punish accounts that violate and abuse the reward pools. It would lock up their account for a certain amount of time after they receive some sort of initial warning. After the first warning they could do a short 12 hour ban or something and then if they keep violating the code then we could do a several day or week long ban.
- I got this idea from a game I used to play online where they had a "jail" for accounts that were caught cheating or doing other bad things.
Facebook places bans on accounts that they deem to be violating their rules or abusing the system.
i think it can also be applied here if the abuse become uncontrollable
Ultimately that sort of power would be abused and probably result in steemit having many of the same problems as Twitter and Facebook.
Create a system of control, and it will be abused.
Why are people here? I came here to network and further individual liberty, and I was tired of having my content filtered and seeing other friend's punished for their content.
Other people are here solely to make a profit. They put their money into the system, and they expect a return on that money. I don't blame them either. Sellers need buyers too, so the system is purposefully setup to encourage investors.
Steemit has its struggles, but there is no centralized censorship here. This place will never be perfect, and there will always be accounts with a lot of power that will be abused. Whales can fight, we can all fight, and there can be flagging wars too.

I like that quote. Who said that?

To be honest, that is one of the things that actually makes me think twice about this platform. I'lluse it because that is actually a reasonable platform for... everything actually but (big BUT) when you have investors and creators in the same place, you will always have this strange atmosphere. Anzway, I don't really care who reads my stuff. If it is an investor or a leech, I'll justhandle it as business. If it is an other creator than Ill handdle it as an oportunity.
This would be pretty interesting, but I think this is what reputation is for. Once a users' reputation reaches a certain level, all future posts will be hidden by default.
I would love this, especially if there was a page showing all the people in jail with the ability to throw digital rotten tomatoes at them somehow.
