@steevc the most idealistic and nice gentleman on Steemit, had that done to him some time ago, because he had spoken up against Haijin. There's only one perspective to this: It's abuse. I think coordination is key to these things - it is like tidying up a teenagers room. Either you start finding the hidden cheeseburgers, or you clear the floor.
I'm just a dolphin and you already get my vote. There's nothing we can do but carry on - either we loose Steemit and our investment here, or we slowly tidy things up.
Every vote is appreciate :)
There's a lot of effort by bid bots, individuals and projects to attack abuse – something I think the magnitude of which not a lot predicted, so there's a good reason to remain optimistic.
Some of the bidbots are getting in line which is good. It is like when the western town in a western film has had enough with outlaws.
