"What are your "clearly defined violations"?"
Virtually anything that you want to include in your terms of service, provided that it does not violate some existing law. i.e. You can't set up a public forum, and restrict members from certain ethnic or religious backgrounds from participating. That being said however, I think it's rather clear that many of the forums do that exact thing, but of course, you will not find it in their terms of service.
You're going to need to be slightly more specific.
Are you familiar with the difficulty of defining pr0n?

The Birth of Venus
The Birth of Venus (Italian: Nascita di Venere [ˈnaʃʃita di ˈvɛːnere]) is a painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, probably made in the mid 1480s. It depicts the goddess Venus arriving at the shore after her birth, when she had emerged from the sea fully-grown (called Venus Anadyomene and often depicted in art). The painting is in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Although the two are not a pair, the painting is inevitably discussed with Botticelli's other very large mythological painting, the Primavera, also in the Uffizi.
Ah, not all functioning cultures are frightened by the mere sight of a human body.
I'm pretty certain molestation is a crime, quite distinct from "p0rn".
And I'm also pretty certain molestation is not a new crime.
I've even... Let me find a citation for you,
Here we go, now, don't blame me for this, I'm only interested in the science,

That's not really how this works.
Steemit is just an interface.
Steemit could completely go out of business and the steem blockchain would still be accessible from any number of alternative interfaces, like steampeak or busy.org
Marky is a witness, the top 20 witnesses have control of what changes/fixes/updates are made to the functionality of the blockchain.
The witnesses host major nodes.
There are hundreds of witnesses, so even if you sent the top 20 directly to jail, the steem blockchain would still work just fine without them.
Marky is basically like a Senator, or a justice on the supreme court (if there were 20 justices).
You might consider trying to ease back on the ad hominem attacks and accusations.
I've spoken with Marky several times and they seem generally reasonable.
And really, nobody can stop them. So, you're kinda digging your own grave.
Your only chance at all is to try and reason with them calmly.
Eh, ok.
If you got banned anywhere else, you wouldn't even know their username.
And I'm not one to be "judgy", but, calling someone a ped0 is, you know, I don't wanna say, "asking for it", but maybe a little?
What were you hoping to accomplish?
