Hello, also on my second day here on Steemit. While I share your concern over all the talk of whales and bots, I just wanted to chime in that the Mod stuff is something I'd be very wary off. The entire reason I'm even here on Steemit is to get away from overzealous moderation and would hate to walk into that firing line again. Bots a never good for a network, purely on bonds of credibility, but a more mechanical fix would be a better one.
