Weekly Report #25 as Steem Representative, September 26th to October 2nd, 2024

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from India,

I am here to brief you about my 25th week as a Steem Representative. I admit this week was a busy one because I had to shuttle between home and hospital with my wife at least three times in a nearby town where she is under treatment. Our next appointment is on 5th October, but the process will go on until October ends, so as I said, it's part of life, and life goes on.

The fourth week of SC-20 started with a glitch that made it a big problem to submit reports, but I managed them with alternate sources, so that wasn't a big issue; however, the entries have become rare. It's a different experience after a long time, but I assume it was a regular update and everything will go on normally.

Back to my SEC-20 campaign, I have made some changes in my contest rules for users to be more specific so you might see more grilling and results based on their response. Last week, "Dev's Teaching Team" received 38 entries 26 in the second. The third week is going on, and I hope to receive enough entries as I have increased the number of prizes.

To be honest, I am not satisfied with what I am doing in the name of "Teaching Contest" because what I am doing is well below what I expected to do in the second and third weeks, but barring a few proposals from certain users, there is nothing much that I can ask or tell them.

However, as I plan a wider scope by challenging them on the front of taxation, mortgage, customer support, etc., I am planning to make it different in the coming weeks. I feel like running an SEC is not a simple task, especially when no serious business proposals are coming up that I expected to discuss with users on Steemit Blockchain.

However, I consider it part of the business, and despite being too busy, I participated in a couple of contests in the last weeks of SEC-20 and did at par.

I am glad, I faced no problems at the result front, I am pleased to see that most of these entries were supported by different curators based on their quality.

As usual, I am posting my regular posts, power-up posts, and reports for various tasks I consider part of the job. Everything is going smoothly for me because I succeeded in all my efforts.

Meanwhile, I posted in different communities besides conducting "Dev's Teaching Team." I did not apply for the Steem Curator's post for October to keep my full attention on SEC-20, and I am glad I decided to do that. I am not yet sure whether I will apply next month, but it is too early to make any commitment at this stage.

Despite being so busy, I spent my time looking for newbies. Despite my busy schedule, I have been constantly looking for talented newbies. I visited as many posts and selected some of the best, irrespective of their ranks, club status, communities, and countries, the only condition being they should rank under 50.

This week was no different. I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in my different posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies because my "Newbie Support Program is working well, and I feel great when I see the newbies taken by surprise when they read my comments on their posts.

A New Initiative to help newbies

I selected my first "newbie," @fexodine the first beneficiary of the week I selected her for his post:

Achievement 1: My Formal Introduction to Steemit

Here is my post,

Surprise but I can't help it

I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on his post

And his reply was worth my effort.

My second newbie beneficiary is @esther97

Here is the post by my second beneficiary.

Achievement-1 : My Introduction Post 27/09/2024

Here is my post:

Humans and Nature

A message on that post, whom I have set as beneficiaries in this post:

Once again, she did not even notice or acknowledge my comment. But they all learn, so I hope she will learn too.

I completed my weekly duty as moderator, which was not much this week because of ongoing SEC I guess so travel posts were too few. However, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians both new and old through various channels to support them spreading awareness, pacifying them in case anyone has a problem. But this week most of them were asking how to get big votes from 01/02. I wanted to laugh aloud because I have no answer to this question.

But as a moderator of Traveling Steem, I support everyone, including genuine newbies, and help them my best by voting them up as per their post quality. Last Monday was not as busy as that glitch kept my business to checking the site through various other gateways.

At Power-Up front, I did a post this week with 380 SP, as I have started toward my 8th Dolphin status.

HWC Contest

Here is my wallet report for the last three months.

As SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but as I have mentioned time and again, I still see a lot of attempts to game the system.

As I said before, the newly included teams are again doing fine and members are enjoying the tutorials, and here more of them have their chance to grab the opportunity in the 20th season.

My Account Summary

My CSI is normally in the range of 12-16, which shows that I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

These are my regular posts,

I am proud that the current SEC-20 hasn't slowed me down this week despite being too busy off and online on different fronts. I must admit that most of my time is spent on writing comments, and as I said earlier, my comments are self-explanatory. However, I am writing enough posts with no comprise with quality.

As I have always said, I support as many newbies as I can through various methods, including setting them as a beneficiary in 2-3 of my posts every week, which helps them stay positive. I always vote for low-level members according to their quality of posts and support them as a member and in my capacity of community curator and Steem Representative.

In the end, I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks, and have a good time ahead, all.

Yours Sincerely
