Wow, I had no idea it had gotten that bad. Judging by some of your comments I'm assuming steemit chat is almost if not completely un-moderated.@fairytalelife

I've honestly never used it before. I'm almost always doing something online and that leaves me with very little time to just chat it up with the rest of the community. I was going to pop my head in there this weekend and have a look around. Has anyone suggested adding mods?

I know Steemit was meant to be a sort of free speech forum, but so was IRC and even IRC has the ability to assign Op's, Mods and Channels for the very reasons you mentioned above...
