A PENAL CODE FOR STEEMIT:

Imagine a consensus document that stated a clear, "bright line" list of do's and don'ts. It would be "the community's" consensus regarding what constituted harmful (to the platform) behavior. It would mainly cover the use of bots and of flagging.

If such a consensus could be reached, next imagine a bot that would each day produce a list of "offenders" and would impose a punishment upon them.

The suggestion might be shocking, but this is exactly what is done in, say, California. IOW, I'm suggesting that we establish a Penal Code for this platform that is enforced by a bot that is empowered by delegating power to it.
