I cautiously agree that a downvote brigade would work fine temporarily.

This is a disruptive platform, it needs more disruptive services like embedding youtube videos. Embed.ly has built a enterprise level business that turns "plagiarism" into sharing, by simply making it easier to do the right thing and credit the author. Steemit needs this concept more than police and content bots.

Just keep in mind. Once a police force is created and given power, they never get disbanded. And once a bot coded to detect and censor stuff is created, it's a tiny step away from being used to censor ideas. Those 2 things are how you get reddit and facebook in their current states. Building them the first month on a decentralized platform is just plain scary.
