RE: Community Building with steemingcurators Community
Appreciate your reply.
I agree with you that we been a little bit drastic because we have muted their post so that they pay attention to the community's new guidelines and membership.
Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I do not consider "muting" as something to trastic.
I simply think that introducing new "rules" or ideas need to take time. Executing new rules within the same second when those rules are being implemented - that causes confusion, build feeling of uncertainty and many more negative emotions, which do not help to achieve planned goal.
Also it's important to realize that content discovery is really bad on Steemit. And you won't be able to reach most of your members with this post. That's reality. So warning members and giving them time to learn about upcoming changes -> that perhaps could make things more smooth for you and others.
I actually never posted in any community so I don't know the feeling of being muted in any community, I didn't know it will be such a big deal/worst than being downvote as you stated.
The problem is that your post is then not only muted within community, but is pretty much INVISIBLE on entire chain. Noone will see it on their feed. Content discovery is going all the way to zero.
Stay safe
@crypto.piotr yea I agree on bad content discovery too, but this post as you see being pinned on the trending page of this community. The chance of it being not discovered is low if they come into this community and post their content into this community.
Then I think by muting the post of the users on this community will speed up the reach out. I see it works, just that has some negative effect. But I think they would understand that we just trying to get their attention and reaching out to them as fast as possible. We will unmute their post once they do what needs to be done.
Ok, I can wish you only good luck @cryptokannon
Hopefully your decision won't result with your community losing many members.
All the best,
Yours, Piotr
