Thanks for the well considered reply. I think that you and I both want whats best for the broader community but we have some slightly different ideas on how to move forward.

We both seem to agree that we don't want ssg-community voting on "shitposts". It's a bad look for us all and it puts ssg-community at risk.

We both want the #silvergoldstackers tag to be open to the entire HIVE community, regardless of the front end used. This is important if we ever want to get our message out and grow our membership.

My concern over the community feature is that I find it quite limited while the Tag is open and anyone can use it. The community is effectively owned and controlled by appointed (not elected) mods. Mods have considerable control, they can censor content and silence anything or anyone they dont like. If our mods go inactive or dissappear for any reason there is no recourse if control hasn't been passed on. The ssg-community account was originally created because the guy who created the pre-existing bot at some point decided that he "owned" it after it had accumulated about $7K USD of value and we had no recourse, so I am very wary of repeating that kind of mistake. If there was the ability to do on-chain election of mods in the community feature it'd be a different story. This is no slight on our current mods (whom I greatly respect) it's just the way the feature works.

I also think that the members posting via Leo Finance are still contributing valuable and relevant content for SGS so I don't really want to be telling them that they MUST use the front end we want them to.

We can always use extra tags like #sgslife or #ladiesofsgs4eva for members posting non-metal content.
