Wow, you are top of things. We were just discussing this last night, and you've already implemented it for the top 400 witnesses! This is a great tool that will help both witnesses and steem users to navigate their choices with much more certainty.
If they miss blocks for 24h they get disabled by the system.
They disable it manually it if they don't want to run the server anymore.
They are running a fork lower than HF19.
And finally they can temporarily disable their server when doing maintenance.
In fact, let me add those things to the post.
I was thinking of these issues last night, I notice a lot of new users vote unvote, vote or equally as often vote and unvote. The UI is confusing to most new users and really does need some work.
As a new member I'm still wrapping my mind around the witness function but immediately saw the problem with the current witness page for which you are proposing solutions. This appears to be a core component of the steem blockchain that needs to evolve. thanks
Thank you. I'm new at steemit and agree the witness page needs to show more than just 50 to give a chance to new guys. Just for that you're getting my vote!
This is really a big improvement to the steemian.info website. Easy to vote other witnesses not listed in the Top 50, excellent improvement.
All steemian not just the witness tool, you will find it a good steem resource, consider it as your knowledgebase for steem. Recommended to bookmark the website.
Hey @drakos thanks for voicing out the concerns of minor witnesses... it is very difficult to get noticed with the current system...

What makes a witness disabled ?

This is a good initiative and the added features will help big time. Kudos to you

You have my witness vote @Drakos! Thanks for all you do on Steemit and in @MinnowSupport!
I agree the system is flawed and needs some work.
You've had my vote a long time now :)
