Paul, I do know that you are the author of the account and all, but you really do need to pay attention to @hivewatchers, they are not just a blacklist, becausse there are a few, but they are THE blacklist, run by a collaborative of the top 20 witnesses on Hive.

I appreciate your concern Eric, but this is how I feel about it, I did nothing to cause anyone concern, I have came to this platform to test it out and have made some great friendship connections here. I'm supportive towards others in various communities. I give up my time to be here through my choice and (honestly) I don't expect anything in return, if I do earn from posting content, that's wonderful but it's not the reason I came here. I invest in to this platform based on my choice. There is nobody here on this platform who has the right to tell me what I should and should not do, now to suggest something? that's a different matter. I'm surprised that a decentralised platform where anyone can participate and choose to remain anonymous if they choose has one person who's job is to unnecessarily patronise another investor no matter how small or large their stake to confirm their identity. The request was and still is uncalled for and if this is a requirement it should be part of the sign up process. I signed up using my real name because I have nothing to hide, meanwhile people are signing up with user handles which does not sway me either way and it should be their choice if they want to be anonymous. I am also aware of identity theft and I'd like to think that I would get some help from the hive community if there was suspicious activity, however since there is no cause for concern at this moment I don't see why I should get blacklisted. The mind boggles.
It's proof of stake really, and it is not one person, it's the majority of the top 20 witnesses, all voted in with Hive Power.
Thanks for updating me on this Erik 👍
