Regarding the complexity issue that I mentioned in my first comment...
I couldn't tell you how many times I see things like this. Another pool with more/different rules takes away from the very intuitiveness that this new user mentions. Please do as you said you would do and stick to the KISS principle. This platform desperately needs more of that.
However, I have also spent multiple hours reading up on the mechanics making Steemit work, and I still don't have all of the answers to some basic questions. While I'm sure you could all jump in and answer the specific questions I have, I think that it points to a more serious issue. The user experience for newcomers is not even close to intuitive.
