That can be very frustrating and it goes against the main unique selling proposition of Steemit as a site that pays you for blogging, posting, commenting and upvoting.
Another BIG challenge with steemit is the approval process. It can be very frustrating after applying and not be approved after several days of waiting and no feedback on whether you have been approved or not, and the reasons for not being approved.
The approval process is inimical to steemit/steem mass adoption and certainly not sustainable at all! It is somethong @ned should address rapidly for the growth and sustainability of steemit and steem.
Thanks.
