It's a bad bug :/ I noticed it in testing with an account for KURE. Witnesses don't have any contronl over block by block processing on the chain. It's only validating blocks and keeping them flowing.

Do you have a nominal understanding of the particular mechanism that Steemit nodes deploy to single out the accounts they do not display? I am aware of the unredeemable list on github, but not how that list is used. Could there be some knock on effects on other accounts from that particular mechanism, or is the account you noticed it happening to unrelated to that censorship mechanism?
Also, it may be time for KURE. I've seen you are really achieving full functionality. Does KURE also feature that censorship engendered by using Steemit nodes, or are there other options? I hope MIRA quickly enables many more nodes to come up. I'd like to see KURE enable accounts themselves to prevent the spam Steemit has chosen to censor at the node level, and this compromises the utility of Steemit nodes at a very basic level.
I don't even know it that's possible except other nodes are available, and have no clue whether that would be a tall order for you to program. I hope it's not, because if users themselves can make use of the unredeemable list to stop the spam it would provide a viable alternative to centralized censorship that is beginning to be effected on the Steem blockchain, and I would hate to have to predict how that will eventually turn out. KURE could prevent that from happening on Steem, if it can be done, by putting that power in the hands of the community, where it belongs.
Thanks!

It's just the site Steemit and the condenser code that has that list of accounts they block. It's a frontend thing, not a blockchain thing.
The account I tested was new, I didn't delegate anything to it or just 15 SP, and was getting a resource denied for a post attempt, but it was saying I only had X when it needed X-5000 for example. So i had enough. That's the bug.
KURE doesn't use the Steemit list, or any list. It's not nodes, it's just the site. @edicted mentioned that a while back, to allow accounts to block people on their page, I think it was. Enabling that functionality is part of the plan in the future ;)
Well, my information was provided by @a-non-e-moose who is my source regarding nodes. I note that Steempeak also features the censorship, and not Steemit alone. I have been told Busy also does, but less so, as there seem to be other nodes they use also.
Steemit.com can't censor Steempeak.com, nor Busy.org, so something off the website itself is part of the mechanism.
Edit: I'd like to be able to censor certain automated comments that are blowing up my notifications. That would be great!

Sounds like the entire blockchain is being bottlenecked through a single Steemit server on the East Coast. Cool.
