Hi Team Steemit,
Keep up the good work. I'm a believer (so far :-) and a professional tech editor (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joyce789/), but not a lawyer.
Friendly alert: This needs to be brought to the attention of @ned and the legal expert (if you indeed have one). When I joined this community a moment ago, found a few big issues with your Legal contract statements, for instance:
15.2 ..."you will be may not be able to access Steem"...??
[NEW EDITOR/LAWYER PLEASE]
User Conduct
[huh??? SEVERAL POINTS DON'T MAKE SENSE OR SEEM TO BE SAYING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT STEEMIT REALLY SHOULD BE SAYING LEGALLY]
17.1.1. "Use our Services in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt,
negatively affect or inhibit other users from fully enjoying our Services,
or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the functioning of our Services in any manner;"
[DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT PEOPLE TO USE STEEMIT SO THAT THEY INTERFERE WITH, DISRUPT, ETC OTHER USERS??]
17.1.2. "Use our Services to pay for, support or otherwise engage in any
illegal activities, including, but not limited to illegal gambling, fraud,
money-laundering, or terrorist activities."
[WHAT? STEEMIT SEEMS TO BE SAYING TO ME - NOT A LEGAL EXPERT - THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME TO USE YOUR SERVICES TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, REALLY??]
17.1.3. "Use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper or other automated means or interface not provided by us to access our Services or to extract data;"
[SO YOU'RE TELLING ME TO USE MY OWN ROBOTS TO ACCESS STEEMIT SERVICES/DATA??]
17.1.4. "Use or attempt to use another user's Wallet without authorization;"
[STEEMIT ACTUALLY WANTS ME TO USE ANOTHER USER'S WALLET WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT??]
17.1.6. "Introduce to the Services any virus, Trojan, worms, logic bombs or other harmful material;"
[THE WAY THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY WORDED, STEEMIT IS
ENCOURAGING USERS TO INTRODUCE VIRUSES AND OTHER HARMFUL MATERIAL TO YOUR SERVICES ~ HUH, REALLY?!?]
THE WAY YOUR CONTRACT IS WRITTEN CURRENTLY (BY SOME DUMB-IDIOT/S THAT PROBABLY DIDN'T GRADUATE FROM ANY CREDIBLE LAW SCHOOL YET), STEEMIT SEEMS TO BE ENCOURAGING BLACK MARKET BEHAVIOR!!
Just my 2-steemit-cents.
Have a nice, healthy new year ~
Joyce
