Calling us the secret police is a bit much. In fact, the goal of steemcleaners is to be MORE transparent than what we were doing previously (a bunch of un-organized vigilantes flagging abuse), by producing logs and having a single account where you can watch and scrutinize our actions if you so choose.
And, that is still what we are -- not a governing body, but a group of vigilantes that want to protect steemit, but also guide new members to doing things in a productive way.
Feel free to check our second post and give feedback if you disagree with any principles, we are reasonable people and will listen to the community.
yea - I think the least possible organization is best - because organization becomes rules. I am sure it's well-intentioned - governments always begin as well-intentioned. Individuals just want to abdicate their personal responsibility for taking care of themselves - hence organized government, religion, etc -
