The reason given is "spam", which is obviously BS because you can't really spam the upvote drop-down menu. Seriously though, it's not hard to fight spam. On a blockchain, red-flagging accounts is pointless as creating other accounts is trivial. You have to come up with spam rules that apply to every account.

I must admit I am a bit out of the loop though. Haven't really been paying attention to any of the spam people are talking about... except of course the thousands of pictures of shit that circulated the blockchain at one point.

In the grand scheme of things and according to Andreas Antonopoulos there is no such thing as spam on the blockchain. You pay the fee to post and you get to post, end of story. Real solutions are about coming to consensus and changing the rules for everyone on the platform, if need be.

"...thousands of pictures of shit..."

Yeah, if I had the authority that would be a banning from my blog. That's what should be done IMHO, rather than centralized censoring.
