This is a very well thought out overview and I appreciate it! Your blog gets a lot of Spam attention so I can understand the frustration.

I would like to see a built in Steemit or Busy feature, or even a bot that comments on comments that are repeated through the blockchain. I think there is one, but it doesn't catch everything. That would allow us to more easily mute or flag.

I have recently connected with a bunch of English as a second language Steemians through the efforts of @surpassinggoogle and I have really enjoyed their different cultural perspectives and optimism. I would hate to see these great people get flagged. Many of them are using Steem income to better their lives and also they use this platform to help educate and network themselves!

I am glad you wrote this today. Thoughtful and thought provoking.

Now...in the spirit of spamming, I am compelled to say :)
