That's disheartening to hear :-( Steemit is a well thought out program, with many investors in time and effort. Cheeta is cool for 1, Someone will come up with solution to this problem.
I watched before my very eyes, just the other day a guy I was checking out through a response to me was at
He had lots of money from curation or purchase, his comments and reply's indicated problems with others, and I watched as his post etc were disappearing from everywhere ? his response to me kept fading out and coming back. I un followed and moved on.
Apparently there are steemit police at work, probably a necessary evil in the end ?
