The imbalance has already been solved in code and it'll be effective when Hardfork 19 goes live. It's not scheduled yet, but most likely will be some time this month. Whales will lose an order of magnitude in influence and can be countered easily. Currently, if it currently takes 100 dolphins to counter a whale vote, it'll take only 10 after HF19.

cool, I am a mid sized Dolphin, and I hope to help as many steemians (that deserve it of course) as I can.
full steem ahead!
I'm with you! I'm mid sized too :3
Welcome to Steemit.com @oceancoinz Please let me know if you have any questions. Great #introduceyourself post. I had @randowhale give you a slight boost, and I will re-steem your post as well. Have fun!
full steem ahead!
Thank you!
You are welcome! I was hoping for @randowhale to do a little better for you, but then again it does vary. Remember if you use their service, there is no M in their name.
No problem, I'll help pump up your posts too. ;)
ah schucks, you don't have to do that @oceancoinz although it is greatly appreciated. From my part it was just a small welcoming gift.
Gentlemen, start your guilds
It will be interesting to see how the flagging wars go after the hardfork
That would be a great post to write.
My first thought was the possibility of garnering support from your followers/followed to counter the neg.
I then thought of a n00b, such as I am, with little power in such network as I have, to do that.
Then I thought of groups of Steemians with similar interests, including some that might be interested in ensuring that whimsical whales don't run around pulling the wings off flies.
I am glad that the outrageous imbalances in wealth in the world will not be accorded equivalent power to squash speech after HF19, as the two things are not the same thing, and should be separate.
Reputation, however, seems a better means of regulating the power to crush spam, that still might be able to harm n00bs, but also be simpler of rectification by concerned groups.
Just the thoughts of my admittedly naive perspective on how to preserve freedom of speech in a world where the powerful may not desire speech that irritates them.
Thanks for your informative reply to the post.
I'm with you! I'm mid sized too :3
