How can you support a petition that forces someone to do something with the stake that they own?
I think some of you are starting to get blinded by anger at steemit inc. Even if they made mistakes, doesn't justify us stopping them doing what they want with their stake.
And btw is stupid to donate rewards to @burnpost you can just refuse the payout, it will burn the steem automatically.
There is no force here. I'm making an offer. If the offer is declined, then nothing changes.
IMO burning the rewards (which reduces inflation and helps the value of all stake) is a better value to the stakeholders than how the bulk of the reward pool is being used today. If you don't agree then don't upvote this post or even downvote it.
There is some confusion. I actually agree with you that burning rewards is good.
What I meant to say is that in order to burn rewards, you cam just choose the “decline payout” option before posting. What that does is that all of the reward for your post will be automatically burned.
It is just more simple than waiting for the rewards to come in 7 days and then send them to burnpost.

Decline payout does not burn rewards. It returns them to the reward pool to be allocated to other rewards. There is a way to automatically burn rewards which is to set a 100% beneficiary to @null. This can't be done using the steemit.com UI though, only programmatically or via one of the other UIs which may support it.
Burnpost has some modest additional benefit in that it can help us deal with overpriced SBD, for which the lack of any in-built mechanism is a deficiency in the current blockchain design.
