Thank you for dropping in here @braaiboy - your comments were those that encouraged me to reach out to steemcleaners.
The account is @maahes, but you'll have to go back in time a bit, he has been quite angry at the treatment.
Philosopically, I am still not in agreement with someone judging how unique/interesting/adjective something needs to be for members to use their own SP* to use the steem blockchain - this type of thinking stiffles creativity. That is my opinion.
That said, hearing your experience did give me a ray of hope.
