Will they help or hurt Steem from growing?

One thing I noticed, which I wasn;t aware of - I used a dormant account (rep 25, 3 dollars sp or whatever), just to see how it worked - 'starting new' ,as it were...

I made one post and 3 or 4 comments, and that was me done - I have to wait to 'RC'

I cannot - for the life of me, see how this will help steemit.

IF this was a new account, (i.e I was new) and this happened to me - I would dhave said 'goodbye' to it there and then.

Having a social platform where you can't post or comment???...mmm. I see a teeny weeny bit of a problem there...
