Pausing Auto-Voting to Regain Power!

in #writing9 years ago (edited)

I Love Tossing Votes / SBD at Deserving Authors!

Nothing brings a smile on my face faster than clicking that little up arrow button and watching someone's post that had $0.00 showing turn into a $0.01 or $0.02! Now don't get me wrong... It's a frigging penny right? Whoopity-Fuckin'-Doo! Well no actually.. It's more than just a penny or two..

It's me showing support to people that may not have had their post make anything.. And if I can make someone's day a little bit better or more fulfilling simply by up-voting their posts.. Damn rights I will!

However, there simply are too many good authors I support with my auto vote currently and every other day or so my voting power dips below acceptable levels of penny tossing.. Which really sucks for those who would have normally got atleast a SBD penny out of me.

Announcing my Auto-voter is Paused For a Day or More!

Last time I paused my auto-voting I had a number of individuals contacting me wondering if they had done something wrong or been removed from my vote list. I hadn't considered the psychological aspects at play here when it comes to auto voting. There were some users that were genuinely upset that I'd not be voting on their latest posts like clockwork..

The purpose of this post is to let my "peeps" know that I've not abandoned you, nor has anyone been removed from my upvote bot. At this point in time I'll be pausing the bot and letting my voting power recover in order to throw the best upvotes I can in a day or so again.

Some Tweaks & Modifications Are Required

As much as possible I try and give everyone on my list 100% strength upvotes on their work. While it's the thought that counts of course I've been spreading my votes a little too thinly across the board and will likely do some adjusting and modifying of the voting weights here in the near future to see if I can achieve an equilibrium between regenerating my voting power and dishing it out.

In a day or so when I flip the switch back on, Votes may not be at 100%. Please don't take this as me not seeing your posts as worthy of my 100% vote. They almost all the time are. But I've simply got to ration my daily votes so I can give more people that $0.01 SBD boost daily rather than running out of power prematurely and casting floppy upvotes.

I will suspend posting for a couple of days then. Thanks for the headsup! ;)

I just noticed my voting power was seriously decreased also. My last two posts have completely flopped so I am scrambling to figure out why.

Lucky for you that you always vote for mine by hand.

Oh man Lordvader. I am glad you stuck around man. One of the best characters on the network with hilarious posts.

Thank you. Although my translator seems to be on the fritz again. I keep seeing "hilarious" when I'm sure you mean "epically mind blowing".

Better get Dennis in there to sort things out man!

Thanks for the heads up, I know the changes should actually make it better for everyone.

Yeah.. It's a balance between giving out to many votes and giving out weak ones or dialing it down a bit.

Yes, exactly. I did the same couple of weeks ago when I finally admitted to myself that my voting power was bellow 30%.

Take care!

Holy hell! <30%?! That is wild man.

Yup. Steemvoter + Streemian Trail < 30% VP :)

Hahah holy hell. Yeah that would do it!
