RE: Updates to Post Curation and Rewards + A Call for a Community Vote on Content Curation in the FreeCompliments Community

Incidentally, HW are funded by the Hive DAO, and they have votes 72% higher than the threshold. To all intents and purposes, they are the duly elected cop on the beat. I don't always love their methods, but the removal of rewards from illegal content is actually really important. (Check out Blurt sometime, or any of the other steem forks that did away with downvotes entirely, and you will be shocked at how much better Hive is)
And in the interest of full disclosure, I do vote for HW's funding proposals, which means by proxy so does Hive SBI with all of its resources.

Indeed, I do believe there's an important place for Hivewatchers on the blockchain! They absolutely catch bad actors, and I must acknowledge how difficult of a job it is to deal with them on a daily basis. I've had such experiences myself, albeit in a different capacity.
I also acknowledge that there's human error that will occur in such a process, but it's their methods, from what I've managed to see, that tend to lose me more than anything else. I know a lot of people would have preferred a group that would handle situations in a more humane manner. It's not an easy problem nor solution by any means.
