RE: Suggestions For Selection of Curators- Part-2
Hi @dove11, the volume of support that is provided by Steemit Team is huge and from the very first day when there was a split between Hive and Steemit. I remember many users who previously were not able to grow they have grown their Steem Power very quickly because the understood that active engagement in the activities of the Steemit Team is rewarded.
Actually, I am very glad that this good will if Steemit Team is now something that we can not imaging Steemit without it.
When you mentioning Booming Support, actually I thought in the past it was better when the Booming was rewarded to the communities, we had many good communities and Booming was a support that was encouraged used to be active int hose communities. Since Booming support now withdrawn from Communities we see that some of communities struggled to exists and gone completely. That is a shame.
I would suggest to re-activate the old version for Booming support for communities and maybe to keep booming support for 3-4 months attached to one community, because sometimes the users are active but the moderators or community account do not have much Steem Power and the good will of community will fade away.
I do not think Steem Representatives initiative was something necessary that we could do without it.
As to the requirements for Steem Curators I completely agree with you and I like how you listed the necessary, thank you for your comprehensive post and explanation.
Wishing you ncie weekend :)
You are right Dear Doctor when you say
That's right up to some extent but the Booming is still with communities or projects but to limited few and the return solely depends on your beneficiary setting percentage.
In fact, my proposal is to make it available to all and not for few chosen ones with fixed teams. As one of the senior most members of this site you know a lot how it works now and how it worked n the past so compared to you I'm still a newbie.
However, being an active member in main stream, I feel the site management should change some of its working styles to bring the price back to track. You can see the changes ever since the management has stopped SLC and started doing on their own on a limited basis leaving no chance for favoritism. Thanks for your kind input and insightful thoughts.
Yes, but the old version how Booming did work was the fact that there were many communities who had an opportunity of Booming support, they were selecting their best posts and every day there was nomination. I remember hte moderators were able to grand Booming for winners of contests too. I also liked the idea of Tier 1 or 2 and 3 with the different number of nomination for Booming. It was much better system, I think if there will be regular new applications for Booming like every 3 months that probably will help to maintain communities.
I agree there should always be some changes so that people will get motivated and do their best and will try to contribute. Thank you for the chat :)
All I can say is the management thinks the communities were misusing the Booming powers which you can read in comment/s by SC01 in this post so that leaves not much for me to say further into this matter. Thank you once again.
I agree with what you said about Booming, my friend. We moderators currently go to great lengths to keep these communities going, and that is precisely why so many have had to close down. In fact, it is no secret that user participation dropped significantly after Booming withdrew its support for the communities. I fully support bringing that support back.
Hi @lirvic, I remember that in the past the motivation of possible support by Booming support kept the community active, even the contests were more busier than now.
I think the way how it is now, Steemit Team has less work to do and they rely on curators who are entitled for Booming account. But for users across the Steemit platform the old version of Booming support was better. I hope that the Steemit team will reconsider and start it again.
