hey there,
It's good to see you around that is the best way to do moderation, let the kids shoot themselves in the foot all they like, wait for those not stupid enough t walk out and join you in the distance :D just joking, but there are some experiments and flag wars that have gotten me to step out and gain some perspective.
I was referring to @dan, who is one of the head founders, he was CTO until a week ago, the actual team is quite small, all the policing and everything is a different subset of mostly members who went on their suited niches :D
Everything is allowed and so far the scales are being weighed, it seems the whole platform is a experiment that has been going on since the start :)
There is a standing problem at the moment and that is the HardFork, 0.17 if you could take some o your time and get into the nitty gritty details I'm sure your insights will help out, the downside is that the argument is huge and I for one still can't get on top of it, you can check the @steemitblog for the actual state of things, if you wish there are at least a hundred comments on the topic all with their own posts and comments :D, there are a lot of users after all.
The fun part is.. I can't remember where I was going with this, but everything here is saved even unfinished comments, still I was checking back to see if you were active, anyways best of luck :) There have been some developments on the blockchain, a few forks and we are expecting a newer version. Also EOS the new development tool has been announced and dan is working on it. All that is probably irrelevant to you so nevermind.
