The great thing (as I see it) about @nopal4u is that it has no Steem power. So they aren’t claiming to be guardians of the Steem trending section, just the PAL side of things.
In the discord on Thursday night CrimsonClad was begging for one of the other mods to grab the account and flag her post as a test case.
I really like the idea that they can knock posts out of trending on PalNet without affecting the Steem side. Seems cleaner to me that way.
And decimals are coming on Tuesday! Hopefully those of us who don’t have enough PAL to affect the payout will finally see our votes “mean something”. Though I say finally with tongue in cheek. It feels like a long time, but has really only been 10 days
