As a new user who's initial experience with steem was somewhat tainted by the random flagging, I am definitely in favor of adding in ideas and new features that help tailor towards improving the new user experience.
For the platform to grow, it is still going to need to bring in thousands of new authors. The user experience will be key to whether or not they stick around. I think these are great suggestions for improvements and applaud you for thinking about the little guys! I can't express how great it is to see such a strong and helpful community here!
