RE: Open Letter to top Steemit creators & witnesses and any other people with influence on the platform
I don't really get your point, maybe you can explain it to me a bit more.
For me it looks like this: You are saying that Steemit has a problem. You are telling a story about a user many people here don't like explaining what bad things he had done and complaining then that nobody has done something about it.
So what do you want to achieve ? What do you want to change ? You say Steemit has a problem and there is a user doing bad things. What would be a possible solution for you ?
As I said there needs to be a way to report repeat bad behaviour. There needs to be away to ban people from posting from ones blogs not only mute them. There is a ton more wrong with this platform and I have written about this pretty often - but this would be a start . It can't be that sexual predators and bullies get to constantly harass people here without consequence. It can't be that they are allowed to use personal pictures of people , turn them into defamatory memes and then cash in on them here.
To whom do you want to report bad behavior ? You could make your own project for this but it is probably out of the scope for nearly all other projects.
I would be completely against it. Of course you could block a spammer, but you can also block steemcleaners comment then, maybe trying to inform other users that the post is plagiarized, you can block warning comments underneath posts containing phishing links, and so on.
This function could be used to block criticism and warnings under other posts. Like you couldn't comment anymore that the user in your example is a sexual predator and that users shouldn't vote for him.
It would rather be used to censor others opinions under your blog than just to block spammers.
Steemit is not a right-wing room. Using personal images is against the law so you could sue the user for that. Problem would be that the user is hard to identify and maybe out of some country where you cannot do anything. Still the images are not stored in the blockchain so you could make steemitimages to delete the picture in their database so it won't get shown on Steemit (just works if posted via Steemit, other frontends might use other ways to store the image).
i see your point with the commenting but then there needs to be a way to ban people who are serial plagiarists, copyright thiefs and spammers as well as bullies ect. Maybe a consortium of the top 100 witnesses who get the power to review cases . Something needs to happen as there is a ton of abuse and it is killing the platform.
That seems reasonable but I would maybe use Redeemers ? Users who are infringing the Steemit TOS ?
yeah but nothing is really done ...
I saw cheetah used to ban a very repetitive and obvious plagiarist, but it's just a temporary ban. I think he is back, but he gets flagged to zero all the time. I think what we need is a slightly better system of nuking these types, like you describe in your open letter...

well a bot that can't be down voted would be good ...
Good Start!
Maybe with Perma-ban powers as well, like say a
3-Strikes Rule???
