RE: New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.

Lets start with this: is banning/freezing accounts, removing data from the chain and otherwise moderate how people can interact with the chain a bad idea and if so why, and if not is it then a good idea and why, considering that it's implemented as decentralized, not necessarily dPOS but proof of participation and through participation score levels?

Literally anything can happen on any chain with enough consensus. I'm having trouble seeing the point here. Ethereum hard forked to steal back funds from a single hacker.

With a proof-of-stake implementation all that really matters is how trustworthy the stakeholders are. Luckily they have a built-in financial incentive to be trustworthy or their stake becomes worth less.

I want to know why you think we ought to not use blocking banning and otherwise moderate.

I think every community should come to consensus about how their platform should operate. Variation and redundancy are imperative to create a robust network.

A community wide consensus is very hard to achieve, and variation means that we don't make use of banning blocking and otherwise moderating?

Ah yeah my bad I was talking about the entire cryptosphere not just Steem.

I think the whole point of solving the Byzantine Generals’ Problem is that you no longer have to deny access or moderate anything. The purpose of crypto is to eliminate middle-men, not create them.
