RE: As Steem grows, so does the presence of the trolls

Yes, it's called Influence, you gain more by investing into the community, the incentive creates value, the more you have invested into the community the more likely you are to want the community to succeed and in turn your investment, that's why the more you invest the more influence you have the more your vote counts. If you're interested you can ask around, because one vote and one account opens up the system to sibyl attacks, so that the mob of one person's account would rule them all, instead vests are split (SteamPower) based on how much you have in your account.

Autoflagging and what we refer to here as flag wars, are unavoidable realities of people curating content, an expression of their freedom of speech. This platform is designed to be censorship proof, meaning that even if the fronted could (hypothetically) censor the content, the content on the blockchain where the front end gets it's data from, cannot be altered or censored/removed, and the account cannot be "moderated" or otherwise controlled by someone other than the owner themselves, bar lost passwords/ stolen accounts.

What one account has differs from another, and even the base account funded through SteemIt.com and not busy.org, or another front end, where you pay to fund the account, has changed and will continue to change based on the required steem that the account needs before it can curate/post and the value of steem at the time, "one person who counts as 5" is not the point, if you believe that it's not fair, regardless of this being proven/demonstrated for over a year now, you are free to create and distribute your own coin, and base it all off the blockchain we have here, Steem is open source after all. Sitting on steem and crying about how steem isn't fair because one person one vote, is like being invited to a party, there's prizes and cool people everywhere, and because these people made fun of you, crying about these people making fun of you is actually going to do something about anything, those offenders won't listen, and the people at the party are expected to defend you.

Either you get over what other people express themselves like on steem, or you will be the few in the corner whining and supporting each other with "censorship, censorship everywhere", followed by an anthem of "I am a victim".
