Yeah, the folks at the top of the power structure think they are sooo cool, but you've met them now, you know that they lie to themselves.
The community here is a good one, excepting those that think themselves 'the best' of it.
The rest of us welcome you and hope you forgive our village idiots, they think they mean well.
Thank you so much for that clarification, @freebornangel! I really do appreciate it probably more than ever right now. I had a feeling you were a good dude, with such an awesome user name.
I don't know if you caught the latest update above I made in the comments under the @themarkymark comment thread. I shared some of my conversation with @guiltyparties (the guy at least I met pulling the strings of @steemcleaners). I know there are at least 2 or 3 others who have seen this post who also work with steemcleaners.
In an extremely sobering nutshell, to not have the same problem again and use any of my stock photo collection normally, he suggests the first option that I find the pics on another site, who may have even stole it (probably from me years ago), to link to as source.

It is amazing to think about the level of blind ignorance advising someone to encourage the very thing they are trying to stop just to trick the system that no one seems to give enough shit about to fix...
Lol, that is sad.
They should just white list you on your promise not to do something against the rules, but they can't bring that level of trust to the system because there are too many folks that think like them trying to scam the platform.
They do what they can, but until the community steps up with it's own solutions, centralized solutions will continue to run rampant.
I hope you stick it out, we are gonna overcome these problems, at some point.
Ive always thought blacklist-a was fyrstikken's, but that may not be correct.
I hear you, but I have my doubts they'd ever listen to the community. I've made several suggestions, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other.
The ironic thing is what they do and the fact that I quoted near the top of this post from their FAQs:
They need to be clear about it. They can't say in the opening of the FAQs:
And I don't know if you saw the quote I gave that @pjau who also works with them wrote:
Kids in a candy store,...
Sad, but true...
