Dear Steemians,
![Bildschirmfoto 2018-01-06 um 13.30.32.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1515242294/grbsxi3cwiajdb79vclb.png)

in the last days and weeks Steemit showed an ugly face to its users. They were told the following rules:
* You will be flagged because you and your content are bullshit
* You are raping the reward pool, so I will terminate your existence here
* Your reward is too high anyways
* Don't use Upvote Bots (except my own one)
* Don't do this or that otherwise you will be punished

Nice new community, isn't it ?

### NO, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING GOING WRONG!

##### How can we change this situation?

This is the situation: 
There are too many possibilities to remove the rewards from Steemit.
And this leads to the actual situation that we have a fight between those who think they are protecting the steemit community and those who think they deserve what they get from steemit.

The solution is easy:

## Put a limit on individual accounts sending a certain number of postings and comments per day

@ned are you reading?

Even Twitter is putting limits on their accounts.

*Twitter says you can only send out 1,000 tweets per day. That includes retweets. Plus, Twitter breaks this daily limit down into semi-hourly intervals, so that accounts cannot post more than a certain number of times per hour or so.
Twitter also has a limit on the number of direct messages you can send per day, set at 250.*

So I think the witnesses should define the limits and then we should restrict the number of postings and comments.
This would make it much more difficult to abuse the steemit system.
And if really a user thinks he is a genius like Leonardo da Vinci and the world needs hundreds of messages from him per day, he still can use Twitter besides Steemit. But Twitter does not have a reward pool for their users, right ?

### Is this the solution to everything ?

No. If the user is only allowed to create two or three postings per day, and he wants to gain the maximum profit he will try even more to use upvote bots.
So limits on individual accounts will make upvote bots more popular.
But this problem is IMHO not as bad as the other problem that Steemit is missing limits for postings and comments.
And of course there are also solutions to the "problem" with the upvote bots.

Have a good one and enjoy Steemit!
