... the consensus Steem witnesses, as well as several backup witnesses, have been working together to do their job as Protectors of the Steem blockchain. As a collective, the witnesses have agreed to take a temporary measure to update their servers to disallow certain transactions from several SteemIt, Inc owned accounts that switched ownership with the sale of SteemIt, Inc.
For more details about the announcement, please refer to the main post here: https://steemit.com/steem/@softfork222/soft-fork-222
I have submitted a PR to the main steemit/steem repository and that can be viewed here: https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/3615
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to engage in the discussion on the main post, or respond to any of the witnesses that are making public statements. This Soft Fork was a collective decision made by many in the best interest of Steem and the community.
