Well, in the past week, I've had to block two accounts who are throwing their weight around. I muted "I Flag Trash" who at a 62 seems to have enough weight to make my posts invisible. And some other account I blocked was only a 59. Looking at "I Flag Trash"'s account, its clear there are no blogs. And the account only exists to harass and downvote people.

If you really want to see this crypto-currency go away and be a "also ran", then by all means do nothing. Because after seeing how easy it is for someone to buy an account and be able to silence my hard work, all that tells me is your entire model is flawed. And I am not going to contribute to this blockchain with content that could potentially make it more valuable when I know all it takes is some ultra-reactionary person who clearly does not have a cogent argument to lower the user experience here.

Both of these accounts seems like bots that search out key words and downvote content over a broad spectrum. And the reason I feel they are bots is that both times each account that downvoted my content had one negative sentence about my content that was completely without any specific argument against the content.

So basically is what you have now is a super-powered 8 year old who is nagging anyone they disagree with and basically telling anyone with something to say out of mainstream media that "You're stupid! because I said your stupid!".

And honestly, if the whole thing goes down the drain because your loyal users who helped build a big user base, stop using Steemit because it got trolled to death by ultra-reactionary negative bot accounts, you can't say we didn't warn you.

Powering down until it's all gone unless I get confirmation you've fixed it.

Sad!
