RE: ๐ The Curation and Engagement Leagues ๐ - STEEM prizes available!
Thank You
Asher, once again a great game... I'm happy to re-enter the top 10 again and thank you for the prize as always! You and @paulag and @carlgnash are all amazing to help so many week after week.
The IF Is Truly Amazing!
I've already congratulated IF, he is really something... He has not only distanced himself from everyone, he has now even beautified up the comment section.. In an effort to keep up, I have attempted myself to follow on his wonderful lead.
My Answer To Your Question
And finally, you asked a question about the self-vote penalty. I am mixed on that one. Honestly the no-vote rule that YOU HAVE HERE is something that has been in my mind since I received your first delegation. I have always felt that if I received a delegation from you, that I owed it to my delegators to use that upvote on others and not on me.
However, I will also say that the system is geared so that people can always find ways to increase their votes values and/or cash flow to themselves (via bot votes, membership clubs, and through actual delegation for money). So I don't necessarily look down on someone who uses any of these methods (even self-votes), because they are doing as people that own the system has told them is ok.
So my vote would be to keep the penalty in place in your game, because it is a valuable reminder to any of us that have received a delegation that we have a gift that should be used for the community. But having said that, I certainly would understand the conflicted mind that some people see when they realize that self-voting and delagating to bid-bots is basically the same thing. Since that is the case, then I personally don't cast any negativity for doing either!
Every time I see stuff like the bird and the cat and the other dividers, I have flashbacks of the late 1990s. All that's missing is the dancing baby and maybe a sign that says upvote me flashing with lasers coming out of it. :)
I knew I wasn't going to be much of a trendsetter.
lol.... that's funny... maybe @amariespeaks or @beeyou could work on that one for you (they're both getting good at giphys)
Nope. I'm not asking for a return to the late '90s. Far from it. Discourage is more the word.
But now that you mentioned them, I'm sure we're bound to see something of their creations. :)
How's this... You got my thinking cap on!
Well, considering this isn't my or your post, you should probably ask @abh12345 what he thinks of you cluttering up his comment section.
It's a good think I'm not photosensitive or I'd probably be having a seizure right now. :)
haha :)
I just had to turn the brightness down for this!
Time to get the sunglasses out ;)
lol... I didn't think about the medical ramifications... :P.... I see Asher has already got his shades out ;)
Sunglasses on and sun at his back from what I can tell.
Yeah. So, who know. You could have sent half of the engagement league into shock with your dancing baby and flashing lasers. Upside is, you may have taken a few spammers and scammers trolling the page with them. There's generally always a silver lining if you look for it.
Wait. Seriously. I may have just stumbled onto something. :)
lol. you might be right... we can send the flashing baby to all the spammer and scammer pages and give them all seizures! Wow, you really are smart :P
Am I in the wrong place? I clicked from the 'reply' menu and this looks like a post! Very snazzy!
Glen is a good egg (as Lynn would say I think), and this now means that little more incentive to others, which can only be good for the League.
The community has spoken with regards to the self-vote penalty, I think in unanimous favor of it staying in place. Of course that wont affect the likes of you and many of the top 20, but will perhaps mean that the others know what they need to do to reach that sphere.
Great stuff, see you on the blockchain :)
hahaha... and thanks! Glen was inspirational, so lets see if we can get a trend going here for Asher's League of Excellence :P ...
And I figured it would, it is always a good reminder to see that nice 0 every week :D
