However the STEEM network happens to be inhabited by certain power users that double as super heros. The 3 gloriously esteemed users responsible for the initial defense / counter-attack on the @asshole account are listed below in bold for you to check out / follow:

These users were able to deploy their own private counter measures and pool their resources to help unhide comments that had fallen prey to @asshole's deviant game of flag em' all.

While it's great that privately owned and run systems are in place protecting our network against potential outside enemies one must always find a way to protect themselves as well.
