Ever been to a train station.. and had someone come up to you and tell you that they need a ticket to get home - so you give them some money. Then later that day when you are going home you see the same person asking someone else for the same thing? I say it takes a lifetime to build a reputation but only a few seconds to lose it. If Steem becomes "charity coin" or "scam coin" anyone holding Steem (on or off this platform) suffers.

I was thinking that I should write about this. We want neither.
It's great to be able to help others on the platform of course, but just like we need to keep the developer posts somewhat less front and center (however we choose to do that, be it by some gamification, changes to trending pages etc) we also need to make sure that it's not always just a bunch of beggars/seriously endangered people being on "the frontpage" so to speak.
