Don't act so surprised that my response is thoughtful and articulate, I am more experienced than you think and apparently more than you are too.

First of all I never suggested a fully automated solution, saying I did is lying.

Second of all I never suggested removing any human element or steem feature, saying I did is lying.

I have no issue with affecting people who extract value without contributing value. I have a problem with you making the decision of whats right and wrong for everyone else, regardless if you're a group, or trusted, or anything.

If you prevented 1 000 000 supposed "abuser" accounts from extracting their one cent for a post that's not long enough in your opinion, or too similar to something else or whatever you decide is the criteria today or tomorrow, and you hit even one legitimate blogger, or a person testing the network that will be a legitimate blogger down the line to the degree that they want to leave or do something else (which is really easy if you're new) then you caused more harm than good, even if you did prevent a milion cents from going to some poor dude who didn't say much.

My point is we shouldn't ever have to trust YOU to 'remain fair'. Most high power policing accounts do whatever the hell they want once they gain enough power, even if it means stepping on peoples blogs, hard work and projects.

Trustlessness is the foundation of the crypto sphere, if you don't get that, you probably never will.

I don't see how that means that I don't recognise the power of the human mind, I am just not blind to its corruptibility.

You are not correct in your line of reasoning because of that reason. You are not managing or policing other members, you are not doing anyone a service, you are simply interfering with their freedom to use the network, the long term effects of human policing services is detrimental to the systems credibility as a whole.

I never said that fully programmed and automated solutions are the answers, I am confident enough to say fully human 'flag rings' are too corruptable, generally money making schemes and lead to no good.

Once power is accumulated it can be used for whatever, people run around playing 'good cop', amassing power, and then doing whatever the hell they want with it.

I am not a supporter of that kind of behavior or any situation that leaves for the potential of that danger, so I advocate against 'flag rings' against any systematic flagging in fact.

I never suggested AI at all. I advocate against human policing of other bloggers, with very good reason. If the internet was started by people like that, it would have never taken off.

Freedom is actually important and you just don't recognize it yet. I'm perfectly fine with that, you lack the foresight to understand the importance of freedom, you want to solve little problems now so badly that you cause big problems in the long run. I am fine with that though, because I'm an advocate of freedom, which includes your freedom to do what you do, and my freedom to advocate against it.

You're welcome to disagree, but my thinking is not flawed, yours is.

I find every statement you make to completely disguise what I said and lace it with your opinions, overshooting, lying and exaggerating by miles, please don't take it the wrong way if this is my last response to your rediculous arguments, since I don't actually take part in these kinds of arguments on the chain, I just advocate freedom.

Cheers.
