So you're first saying you'd like for there to BE a community account? haha
What are the use cases of having a community account?
- I've requested there be an account an owner can connect to a community
Love to hear some use cases for it

Well our @homesteaderscoop is a community account... I am aware that most communities, besides ours, on steem currently have a community account. Not that there is anything special about the community accounts compared to other steem accounts other than it is recognized as the "official" community account by name. I believe there is still a use for the community account for many (not all) communities even after the new community features are available. Currently our authors are sharing the private key to post under the community account and receive some beneficiary payout. Use case would be more than one individual sharing in the responsibility of blogging under the "official" community account. I would love to hear yours and others' thoughts on this!
I know of no other way to share access to a steem account except by sharing key access.
Keep in mind that on steempeak anyone with that account access gets to have access to all the templates and snippets that can be stored there.
But yeah i think there is a use case in connecting an account as the official account of the community. Perhaps it helps users to know which account to look to for official updates, maybe in the future a beneficiary system for that official account. etc
Yeah that is what we are doing now. I don't mind sharing the access to the templates, it is helpful for us to share and I trust our team. But it would still be nice to do it without having to share the private keys, by trusting their personal accounts for example.
That would be great if there could be official community account(s)!
