Well the vast majority of users on this platform are minnows, who may not have Steemit's best interest at heart, because they are new to the community and just want to make money in most cases.

I'm generalizing the mindset of a minnow, but the recent epidemic of spamming, self upvoting comments, and entitlement that i've been noticing in our community makes me believe my opinion has some merit.

That being said, if everyone is just worried about making money, instead of growing a community, I believe many of the posts that need to get silenced wouldn't receive the required 80-90% consensus.

I like your idea, but I don't think our community is ready for that type of responsibility, but this is a conversation we need to continue to have if this community is ever going to reach it's potential!
