Very correct @event-horizon Powering up is good, very good because it helps to build our SteemPower, but sometimes one might have a serious financial emergency that could lead to powering down. If there were no clubs initiative (users are free to make transfers at will), I bet no one would attempt a power down.

Unfortunately any objections to the steemit team rule is seen as an attack, and so they may NOT vote the person anymore. People should be allowed to make constructive criticism and not punished or not voted for such.
