@andrarchy offered a potential solution.
"...a community lead initiative with elected members that has enough SP delegated to it to punish bad actors..."
Surprisingly, to me, I've seen this work, in an organic spontaneous way, in the last couple days.
Something more formal, as @andrarchy proposed, could work.
Then you could stay, and I could keep my silly grin every time I see your username =p
I am sticking around. Peer pressure works. Just not posting right now. Only commenting LOTS and curating and considering my next move. Also, waiting for this all to blow over.
Also, "...a community lead initiative with elected members that has enough SP delegated to it to punish bad actors..." sounds a lot like steemcleaners with some resources.
