Reasonable people are more likely to be met with reason
That would be nice but that does not fly when dealing with the themarkymark berniesander duo or ether of them individually, and i am sure you already understand that. They need to be rained in before hive starts to experience the decline that went on at Steem.
The act of burning a persons Steem rather than give a refund is a really shit thing to do. Only psychopath refuses to give refunds.
And who are they to judge the quality of posts have you ever looked at beniesanders posts or sat through one of themarkymarks monologue?
No these guys must not be allowed to have anything to with black listing anyone
Whose steem got burned?
FTG's steem didn't get burned. He sent it for a vote, and the vote was given, then taken away because it didn't meet the standards for buildawhale. However, the voting power he paid for couldn't be magically returned, since it was used for a post, so technically it was Marky's to burn.
I will say that the ToS of buildawhale could have been better, such as making users agree to the terms before they could ever use the bot, but the fact of the matter is those were the longstanding rules of the bot, and like it or not it's how it was applied to everyone, not just FTG.
