Oh. Lol. After all we discussed I could not have been clear enough about my idea. I don't want to fill the gaps. I want to improve on the current system that is damaging the site, and eventually negate the need for them to exist- or at the very least get them to follow a better model, or join us if their intentions are really to make steemit better and to reward the best content.
If we have something that works better and doesn't afflict the platform with any negative side-effects, then if those in guilds that are damaging the platform do not get on board, their true colours and their true motivations will be exposed.
I am optimistic enough to hope that they will be excited to see something better out there, and will try to help.
