The reason people shouldn't be calm about this is because the developers made a big mess.
We told them they should wait because it was too close after the huge fiasco about broken server code.
I told them that they had their calculations off by an order of magnitude. They are changing everyone's mana to x10. It also looks like the seriously lowered the mana costs.
This was obvious to me the first day.
It should have been obvious to them the first minute.
If it was me, the first minute after getting a server back on-line would be to make a post, "oh-shit we screwed up, and it will take some time to fix."
Further, if it was me, i would have implemented this in two stages. Stage one, start calculating mana. Stage two, start using mana to limit accounts.
Lastly, they implemented this without telling anyone. No one knew what mana was. No one knew what RC costs were. No one knew what to expect.
That no one knew what to expect, in my opinion, is the only reason we didn't storm the building and throw out the developers.
They really messed up, and really messed up badly. Then they told everyone that it was all ok. It is not. It is still not. But, at least the little accounts can vote now.
Can't wait for the fiasco that will happen next time a witness has to replay. NOT.
These kinds of errors are the kinds that destroy businesses. They assume people will forget, that’s a very dangerous assumption and yes its sociopathic too. People remember these kinds of fucks ups. It’s not 2016.

@stellabelle very well said. As a business owner, that's the first thing I thought. I hope they figure this out. AND along with that, why can't they communicate better? YOU are a long timer here, and you are in the dark as well as newbies. Well, I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Well tge steemit team has a nasty reputation of lacking a lot when it comes to communications.
Im still chucking tha up to inexperience.
Whatever happens still, it would be for the better, the next big blockchain social media is already learning the mistakes and implementing solutions...
