I understand your point and sad that it is coming to this... I will say that the people at Steemit (the big boys) have been telling me for the last 2 days not to worry that it will all get fixed and it won't be a problem. And I sincerely hope so.
I do know that they did a "fix" and a lot of people that were unable to do anything can now post and comment... So I don't know if this whole thing was just a mistake, an issue with design, or simply something they realized their error and fixed based on the reaction. In any case, I'm happy to hear that people are connecting again and as long as they don't repeat such a stupid policy, then I'll stay a little longer and hope for the best!
It is nice to meet you @evlachsblog and I appreciate your comment and hope you stick around to see how it turns out too :)
It's nice to meet you, too, @davemccoy. I would love to stick around, and like you said, I also hope it was just a stupid mistake. I didn't use to worry about looking at "RC status" or mana... whatever those are. Until now, I am completely clueless what those terminologies mean. I read all the comments on this post, and your comment was the simplest and most comprehensible amongst all. You represented the rest of us, who have little to no knowledge of this platform, but are just here on Steemit, either to generate a little bit of income or just love to write and connecting with people.
I'm happy to hear your kind words and definitely happy to meet you too :)
I think they made some big progress with this last update so hopefully it isn't going to affect us nearly as much as it was. I do think they might have heard out message because that is the fastest I have ever seen them make a "fix" :P
Have a wonderful weekend! And again nice to meet you :)
That's good to know that they fixed the issue. It wouldn't be an ideal community if most of us are restrained to voice out our opinions or feedback and we have limited means to comment on other people's posts.
Have a good weekend, too, and hope you have a good week ahead!
