what worries me is this mentality that steemit is here just as an investment scheme for people who want to game the system. they really dont get the concept of community, creating quality content or trying to make the world a better place. part of this is due to steemits own marketing of the platform as a place to get paid for content. while this gets new users in here in the droves, they come in as an uneducated mass looking only for the quick buck. the guidelines for what is and isnt appropriate arent discussed for fear of impinging on libertarian ideals of getting to do whatever they want. I think education on how the platform works needs to be a cornerstone of entering the steemit domain. otherwise we have no one to blame but our own faulty system when people attempt to abuse the platform.

There are community guidelines, and they are enforced by the community through @steemcleaners . The abusers will keep looking for ways to game the system and the community will find ways to fight it. The scammers can't win because by gaming the system they're actually lowering the value of the coin and hurting themselves in the process.
