Really a shocker now that the Steem Blockchain will implement major upgrades H20, Hivemind, SMT and Steem-ua Reputation System your are not willing to be a part of it? You spent so much time building this community under bad conditions and when things are turning around and many of your problems will get solved you are leaving Steem? That is really sad...but can't help it. I wish all the best with establishing your new community!!!

Oh my god you just create your own SMT and Community than you have moderators which controll the rules that you want to have in place. I'm not a expert but look at Steemhunt they eliminated all these abuses on their platform. You are crazy if you don't come up with a solution!!!

It depends on how you want to view raping the reward pool? Since self-voting is not prohibit there can't be such a thing like raping the reward pool. Who ever has Steempower is allowed to do with it what he wants, thats the beauty of decentralization. Otherwise if we prohibit it we have a problem with centralization. Ether way its better to view self-voting not as raping its more like unsocial behavior which is pretty common nowadays in all kinds of businesses.
Well I agree to your argument but I can also understand that not every Steem user is a content creator, developer or witness. Most people you upvote them self are purely investors and they like to see ROI. In order to be able to create income for them they have to hold on to their large Steempower which is a good thing. I hear many users complaining about the price of steem...and thats why we need more investors on the platform who are willing to increase their steempower. This platform also can't survive just by content creators who keep on selling their earned Steems to the market. We need to make everybody happy here on Steem...content creators, developers, witnesses and Investors.

I don't think you understand how the reward pool works.
It is an 'un-rape-able' delegated proof of stake mechanism.
