RE: Steemit cheaters & how to protect the platform against them

Already proposed negative voting, but project leads don't care. I proposed also solutions to prevent abuses including plagiarism, account farming and account name trolling. They didn't care. Bottom line: they are fine with Steem becoming a pile of trash, have no plan to prevent it, and won't listen to people who propose constructive solutions.
Where are your proposals? I'm interested to read them.
Negative voting, account farming prevention, account name trolling prevention proposals were posted on Slack in the chat and also discussed in private with @ned. Abuse reporting is here. Quantified proxying of voting is here. That last one may or may not have been read as they ended up implementing proxying of votes soon after, but didn't get any feedback from @ned, @dan or anyone in spite of the fact I was asked to formalize it on Steemit. Nice. I'm officially done bothering to make proposal that are ignored. @dan and @ned are only paying attention to posts that bring some short term hype to the network, at the expense of everything else. Today again, another excellent post from someone reporting a vulnerability and who obviously put a lot of work in to it. Guess what: it's just totally ignored like other equally excellent posts from the same poster (see his history). Sure, he isn't a pretty girl, he hasn't put a sexy photo or stupid animated gifs in his post, and the general public who is supposed to pump the price doesn't care about security. But come on, how much effort is it to acknowledge the contributions of people who put in a lot of work to try to secure the network? I'm increasingly convinced that Steem is a pump & dump, and that its creators don't really care about making things sustainable long term so long as they manage to dump their stock of liquid steem before the hype dies off.
I know, it was an example, but you have to agree that this is an issue that threatens the entire community
