And what about @burnpost, would it be punishable under the spam policies? What's up with not doing anything about that spam? It has even gone on Trending...

Steemit has the right to do with their website whatever they want, however, they have no right of authority over the blockchain. If it is a decentralized blockchain great, otherwise, the SEC might find it interesting how much control Steemit seems to exercise over the blockchain. None of us want that, so please let Steem be what it was suppose to be and stop policing it.

The SEC checks into projects and if they deem Steemit to have more control over the blockchain than a business should have over a decentralized protocol, we're all screwed.
