RE: LOW-LIFE DOWNVOTING MEMBERS
Such decisions are easy to make (by anyone) if the parameters for violations are clearly defined.
What are your "clearly defined violations"?

"What are your "clearly defined violations"?"
Virtually anything that you want to include in your terms of service, provided that it does not violate some existing law. i.e. You can't set up a public forum, and restrict members from certain ethnic or religious backgrounds from participating. That being said however, I think it's rather clear that many of the forums do that exact thing, but of course, you will not find it in their terms of service.
You're going to need to be slightly more specific.
Are you familiar with the difficulty of defining pr0n?

"Are you familiar with the difficulty of defining pr0n?"
Yes, I realize that! But that should not mean that since "porn" is not easily defined, we should simply ignore it. We have to start somewhere, otherwise it will become so prevalent, that it will not be safe for any minor to turn on any device connected to the internet or to a cellular network. Unfortunately we are getting very close to that point, which no doubt, has already had a major negative impact on today's youth.
Closing our eyes to the problem of "porn" will not make it go away. On the contrary, it will only make matters a lot worse. And if we allow some porn, arguing that it is simply an art form, as some do, how long will it be before there will be those who will be favoring pedophilia, claiming that it too is an art form? Imagine if it was your son or daughter who was being molested by some pervert. There is no time like the present to take action (no matter how small) to help wipe out this sickness.
Ah, not all functioning cultures are frightened by the mere sight of a human body.
I'm pretty certain molestation is a crime, quite distinct from "p0rn".
And I'm also pretty certain molestation is not a new crime.
I've even... Let me find a citation for you,
Here we go, now, don't blame me for this, I'm only interested in the science,

And to think this scumball is a Steemit Witness. What a real piece of garbage he truly is.
Can Steemit do nothing to terminate his account?
That's not really how this works.
Steemit is just an interface.
Steemit could completely go out of business and the steem blockchain would still be accessible from any number of alternative interfaces, like steampeak or busy.org
Marky is a witness, the top 20 witnesses have control of what changes/fixes/updates are made to the functionality of the blockchain.
The witnesses host major nodes.
There are hundreds of witnesses, so even if you sent the top 20 directly to jail, the steem blockchain would still work just fine without them.
Marky is basically like a Senator, or a justice on the supreme court (if there were 20 justices).
You might consider trying to ease back on the ad hominem attacks and accusations.
I've spoken with Marky several times and they seem generally reasonable.
And really, nobody can stop them. So, you're kinda digging your own grave.
Your only chance at all is to try and reason with them calmly.
"Marky is basically like a Senator, or a justice on the supreme court (if there were 20 justices)."
And that speaks volumes as to the cesspool that Steemit has become.
"You might consider trying to ease back on the ad hominem attacks and accusations."
I thought I did that 3 days ago when we started this dialog. But then today, out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever, @themarkymark decided to downvote 9 more of my comments. Now that is a lousy slimball regardless of who he is, or what position he may hold within Steemit. And it is for that exact reason that I am quite confident that Steemit will not survive.
"Your only chance at all is to try and reason with them calmly."
From experience, I have found that it is impossible to reason with vindictive people like @themarkymark, just like trying to reason with Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, or in fact most of the Democrats. They all live in their own little world, devoid of reality or of fair play.
"So, you're kinda digging your own grave."
Not really, because I'm out of here as soon as my power down is completed. I want no part of anything controlled by such jerks, and I think you will find that most Steemit members, past and present, feel exactly the same way.
Eh, ok.
If you got banned anywhere else, you wouldn't even know their username.
And I'm not one to be "judgy", but, calling someone a ped0 is, you know, I don't wanna say, "asking for it", but maybe a little?
What were you hoping to accomplish?
The Birth of Venus
The Birth of Venus (Italian: Nascita di Venere [ˈnaʃʃita di ˈvɛːnere]) is a painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, probably made in the mid 1480s. It depicts the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown (called Venus Anadyomene and often depicted in art). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Although the two are not a pair, the painting is inevitably discussed with Botticelli's other very large mythological painting, the Primavera, also in the Uffizi.
