I can agree with pretty much all of that. I wasn't necessarily referring to you when I mentioned disinformation.
I have criticised HW plenty of times, but they do an important job that nobody else seems willing to do. As Hive grows it will get harder.
But that's not strictly true, mate. Nobody else wants to do it because there is no need; we have Hivewatchers.
Personally, I would like to see say five Witnesses on a HW council where they in effect audit what has been going on. I would also like to see the accounts Steemcleaner, adm and Spaminator deleted not retired, deleted. HW should be the only 'force' that way there is no ambiguity or confusion. Clear-cut accountability.
I would also like to see a reasonably full explanation of why a DV was issued. None of this "Viloted....." explain. "This post is plagiarised from here xyz.com" I know that means extra work but that's the price you pay for being given the power to enforce.
Well the anti-abuse community I've been part of for years do some overlapping work with no proposal funding. Most people are scared of downvoting.
I can agree that HW needs to be accountable, transparent and friendlier (if possible). They obviously have the support of many of the witnesses and whales, but need more community respect. Those who are not malicious should not have to fear them. We should always aim to be better
You're starting to sound like a perfect government man. "If you've done nothing wrong, you shouldn't have any concerns about us having cameras on you 24/7" 🤣
Sigh. You're always misreading what I say. In an ideal world the public should not fear the police and regular Hivers should not fear HW. I can dream. I'm not a fan of the surveillance state.
I am. ID cards for everyone! DNA database from birth, and everyone should have a barcode.

Some people have the head for that 😄
