Yeah I remember when that happened. I think the way it works now is fine. I like that You have power in relation to what you've invested in the platform. If @tolkatore is right then it would be a simple matter of disallowing people to upvote themselves, as long as they really are monitoring the creation of new accounts

Yes, maybe. Need some coffee right now. Can't think.

I don't know the relation between steem power and rewards.
It would be easy to create bots and upvote efficiently, and Steemit would be more difficult to police by the good whales if the power is lowered.

Steem can be converted to steem power that give you upvote power. Some people got it very cheap, but in my case I bought for 1$ per piece.

You cant just lower somebodies account.
