Exactly! To be honest, those who only come to make a quick buck are not really that valuable to steemit long-term. That is the entire reason that half of the awards are placed into steem power that can only be given out in weekly payment. People would gladly withdraw $1,000 if it was liquid, but may think about investing in the platform further if  they only get weekly payments of $9.64 and it affects their voting power. It's an absolutely brilliant design.

And the reputation system aka "troll control" (I'll take credit for that name if nobody else used it yet) has silenced many users that were harming the user experience. 

While only in beta, the minds and developers working in the background are leaps and bounds ahead of what we currently think of as a really great system that need a few tweaks.

Amen! Woot woot! 

First let me say a sincere thank you for your kind words and thoughtful response. I will certainly be following you.

We are 100% on the same page. The other important piece of moderating that needs to be addressed is the current flagging system.

There is no reason this post should have 3 flags. I'm proposing an idea that would force users to say why content was flagged and easily have a dialogue about it [New Flagging Content Feedback System](https://steemit.com/steemit/@bendjmiller222/new-content-flagging-system-with-feedback) 

I don't like that right now people can flag out of jealousy or disagreement.

That's the dream. A censorship free network that can still self moderate.

If the comment-section can keep this level of quality even with ever increasing number of accounts, steemit might be on to something.

# Nailed it.
