RE: SEC S15W5: My proposal for Steemitblog
Wow! You have really given this some seriously constructive thought @soulfuldreamer and I can only commend you on everything you have put forward. I think this would absolutely steer things away from the repetitive monotony often seen down the feed, which would be GREAT!
My only concern would be the logistics of it all. Having run similar things for a community of hundreds in the past, I can say that even the most perfect plan in theory is going to have it's hiccups in action and this is a lot of logistical management, which would take up an enormous amount of time.
A team of people would be preferable to manage something like this - but that too brings along its own set of challenges.
I think it is a fantastic proposal - just be sure you are ready to take something like this on because it will swallow a large chunk of your time availability.
Thank you for your remarks. The perspective of a seasoned Steemian, like you, holds significant value in this comment 😊
Well, it's just an idea. I'm not sure why you found the logistics overwhelming; perhaps I've presented everything at once. Don't be confused by the example. What I'm actually saying is that we can play around with these ideas.
Regarding curation, I don't mean to do this every day. At the end of the weeks-long season, the posts under these threads can be included in the 4 or 6 weekly roundup. The normal curation can continue, or different moderators can publish a publication. These are just ideas :)
Hi Sweetheart,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply to this. Life just seems to be getting in the way a lot lately lol.
Not "overwhelming" so much - just that often with projects / endeavors like this, the logistics end up being a lot more than we initially anticipate - especially if it is successful and the growth rate of participation healthy.
Basically, all I am saying is that these sorts of things have a habit of becoming quite a handful, especially when other people are involved. Questions, queries, moderation, moderator involvement, responses, replies, follow ups, reading, sharing, support - the list goes on.
That is all I was trying to say. People sometimes don't consider all the "fine details" and those are often the ones which can turn a project of enthusiasm into something which becomes almost loathsome.
I took a pretty in-depth look around at various communities last week and was reading the comments on their community posts and feedback often made by steemcurator01 and 02 and even with those relatively basic contests - the management and upkeep by the community leaders is not what it should be - and the reason for the most part is that they have "life" and "work" to attend to and are likely not finding the time.
So from the simplest thing like a curation comment opportunity missed, to rewarding content which is clearly not original - there is always a lot to take care of - and such it is with any project. :)
Some people have what it takes to manage such things successfully and like a well-oiled machine - I would imagine you are ABSOLUTELY such an individual - as I know I am too... I just choose not to anymore lol... because it eventually drove me dilly! I began feeling like my time was no longer my own, whatever I did was never good enough and people just dont know how to READ or follow instructions and sometimes that alone is enough to make you want to hit your head against a wall hahaha!!
Anyhoo lovely, I have rambled on way too long!
Your ideas are amazing and I would say that you would definitely make a success of something like this - especially if you have a good team of support to assist... and above all else, you don't know unless you try, right?! :D
Happy Tuesday love! Hope you have a brilliant one!
