RE: Third Test Livestream; Steemit Update
You can't remove stuff put on the block chain even if it's done by a moderator, there wouldn't just be one moderator. I am only talking in the same means as steem cleaners works now except they'd take a look at a comment and determine if what the person said violated terms of use instead of just disagreeing with someone. If it's a terms of use violation it would still be handled exactly like it is now but moderators would be forbidden to keep a flag on a comment because someone disagreed with you, that's stifles free speech, that stifles the grow on the platform and that's the biggest threat and use of censorship I've ever seen.
The amount of moderators needed for the scaling up of the site would be forever increasing. Nobody wants to be a moderator. Nobody would do the job for free. If you remove poor curation then you censor people for curating as children if they want. You think that you're protecting people but you're only resorting to the same absurdity of authority figures that steem was built to invalidate. Do you consider that by removing data from the blockchain, especially through a committee, invalidates the functional premises of ledger technology?
If you consider curation and rating things as the biggest threat to free speech and subsequently the biggest use of censorship, you might want to really think hard how you even convinced yourself of the words you've written, because I have heard it before and I came to the conclusion such these people are about the prettiest and most obtusely conflicting people, regarding a review, a rating, curation itself, an expressive freedom, the same as blatant systemic suppression, outright removing or altering of information, or otherwise labeling expressions as illegal or subversive and punishing people for it.
Is it any wonder then that you don't think that's not censorship itself, regardless of the moderators as if someone flags or removes rewards for any reason they want, invalidating their actions by force is censoring their expression, is stomping on their freedom, and saying "you have no right to booo, to jeer, to mock, to insult" in 'the guidelines' won't hide that.
