RE: Payouts Over $50 vs. Flags Applied (Feb. 18-24)
Positivity and no more negative issues happens when the issues and negatives are faced and resolved, not ignored.
I don't know why the payouts are separated at times, the first is the payout amount, and the second is the pending payout. It might be because someone upvoted it after the initial payout, but I checked some and it's not the case. I don't know why it's like that even when the payout is done and there is no additional pending payout for 30 days. I don't get it. SO I have to show both columns.
The community needs the information to be aware, so that the community can come to a consensus to agree to change things. I'm all fro the community getting actively involved in understanding issue and resolving them, not leaving it up to the stakeholders or witnesses that might be out of touch with whats going on. Many of them don't post and aren't "active" on the site.
Public posting is required for the issue to be addressed. Then the "image" of Steemit can be healed. The more people get involved to change the problems, the quicker things can get back to normal. I understand the issues you bring forth, but information needs to be made public for everyone to see whats going on.Awareness if the key to change and creating a real positive environment. Hiding from the negative in hopes that things magically fix themselves while thinking you don't have to be involved, isn't going to create a more responsible community of people who care to resolve issues that are happening. It just keep people separate from the decision making process to affect change.

The power imbalance needs to be addressed. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks @krnel - agree wth you in some points but to raise in public includes danger as not the majority of users can deal with the facts as you can (based on your intelligence (- act!). The normal user is just frightened and confused when people have a war, they feel insecure - one might say ok they might not be ready for this platform then. I am checking your other post now - before reading it I just wanted to say, we need a balance not only between steemit power holders and minnows / dolphins but also between people like you that are highly educated versus the normal user like me and coming from a not so developed area in the world that might post a nice photo or story from his home (maybe not in perfect English) and then gets bashed.
