I agree on punishing ABUSE, but I'm not interested in content police. If someone wants to post a two sentence joke, I'm fine with that. If someone wants to post a photo and a sentence, that's totally fine, and absolutely the norm on just about every creative platform.

I've onboarded multiple professional artists who ended up leaving because they resented the fact that they had to write an essay about their art to get an upvote from curators.

I'm not interested in being controlled or trained or told what to do, and I want this to be a place for people to escape that. Live and let live, don't do to others what you wouldn't have them do to you. That's my common sense. I think that's what will add value to Steem.
