Yeah, I saw that and I really thought that it was unfair. If someone has a problem with what you are trying to do, then they should just stop following you. Since steemcleaners are just a group of fellow steemit users, I think they are stepping over the line deciding who gets punished and who does not.
Maybe you could just post something with a different photo in it every day?
Steemit has a facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/steemit/ Maybe try to reach them there or through their twitter account: https://twitter.com/steemit
You can also go on steemit.chat and use the #help channel.
