Im not sure if this is the way majority of Steemit population do consider rewards.
Of course one can argue, that your paycheck for regular work is "not your funds" until you will receive this paycheck.
"They are not trying to steal funds from people, they are preventing content theft and abuse, something that is much needed here."
Im not sure if I agree. And author of above post proved that they didnt do that job. They only blidnly punished him without allowing him to defend his rights.
I also just got downvoted by @uradick because Im following and upvoting content of @haejin. Does it also help to keep this place clean ?
Idea of unregulated "steemit police" is scary.
