Not necessary. The system just needs to be used as it was designed.
@berniesanders, I have to agree with @secondstar. I feel your pain and believe Steemit could be a better place, free from corrupt whales and such. However, your cry for justice depends on the decency of others and their will power to "rise up." History has shown that to be rarely the case. If people were capable of doing what you are asking then the human race would have abolished government a long time ago. But unfortunately, the masses are not capable of self-governing yet, and so it will probably take a hard fork to fix the problem. Idealistically this shouldn't be necessary and idealistically your call for Steemit justice should should be heeded, but we don't live in an idealistic world.
