Application for Booming Support - Steem4Nigeria Community

Introduction

Steem4nigeria and all of its community members are once again happy to apply for booming support. it's been six months since our last application and we are thrilled to tender our application once again. In this application we will share basic and very important information about our community, what we stand for, and why we believe we deserve a reselection for the coming months.

Basic Introduction

Steem4nigeria is a country community for Nigerians on steemit and by extension a home for all in steemit. A special need arose on February 2022, to create a hotspot for all that is Nigerian on the steemit platform and several weeks later, steem4nigeria was born - specifically on 12th February 2022.

Our purpose as a community in #steem4nigeria is the same as found in our previous applications which shows a long-standing positive status in which we believe. The Steemit platform has continued to allow participants and users in the system to learn and earn with growing demands to be independent given to the arrays of initiatives and projects it develops over time. Most importantly, our dear community was created at a time when there was no country community that portrays the image of the official standing of the Nigerian community in the platform but rather individual communities created by Nigerians.

There was an absolute need to attend to newbies who on a daily basis find their way into the platform as well as existing users who needed a national front and community to call their own. This was solely created to give Nigerians an official home on steemit with the propensity to support users at various levels. Therefore, it is a home for everyone on the platform and most importantly for Nigerians in steemit irrespective of their locations across the globe. Over time, since its creation, we have reached out to foreign friends on the same accord.

In addition, our community serves as a beacon and a guide for the myriads of steemians for Nigerians who join the community and aim to grow within the ecosystem. We provide training, instructions, and engaging activities that are designed to maintain the massive strength of the steemains from Nigeria who give their best each to produce quality posts on the community and steemit at large.

Total	17,106.42 SP

As of the time of publishing this article, we have at least 15 delegators. We hope to grow this value through a concerted effort from all active members of the community for effective curation support.

Account Keys

At present, our posting key to our curation account is shared with the MODs for reviewing and curation. More so, #xkool24 (Admin) and #ruthjoe (Lead Moderator) have the entire community account keys. This is to strengthen a ground status of consensus before transactions are initiated in the community. The community has been poised to be a non-profitable one with a sense of long-term achievement and support drive for all.

Policy of Checking Articles

In our noble community #Steem4Nigeria, there are some key parameters designated as a priority for checking articles published in the community. This brings about a seamless review of published articles in the community with readers and curators. These are some of the used parameters in the community;

Verified User: This is one of the parameters that tops our list. Users are checked for their achievement tasks to ensure they have been verified. This is also indicated by labeling users for easy and subsequent review.

Steem Exclusive: Moderators endeavor to check that published articles have not been shared with any other platform before they are published in the community. In doing so, we are guaranteed #steemexclusive articles in the community.

Plagiarism-Free: Published articles are checked for plagiarism and a dedicated tool is used for this purpose.

Club Status: The minimum allowed user participation in the community is #club5050 and user adherence is achieved by turning down defaulters. Articles are checked using the appropriate tools.

Bot Free: Users are also checked for this and concerns of vote buying are taken into consideration for users' accounts to guarantee community review. Only clean articles are considered for support in the community.

#burnsteem25: Users who support this project are also hyped during the review for possible support by the team. This can be verified by checking users' vote payout beneficiary parameters.

AI Content Generation: We endeavor that this parameter is enforced to discourage users from subverting the PoB which is the hallmark of the steemit platform. Some tools are already in use in checking this in the community.

How the Community Helps to Improve Users' Quality

Our first line of target is the newbies who are usually half-baked in adhering to the rules of engagement. We intend to guide them through a dedicated moderator who comes across users in this category. It is an agreed and collective effort to ensure they are directed for effectiveness and efficiency so as to encourage them. We have our available community groups to handle concerns of this category.

The community in its wisdom created and pinned some guides on allowable practices in Steemit on its community blog, through some of our admins/moderators' publications. They are to guide all users in the community irrespective of their status for efficiency and effectiveness.

Conclusion

We will appreciate the honor if our community is among the selected communities in this current batch. We pledge to be consistent with the guidelines and requirements of the organizers as this would also help us contribute meaningfully to the steemit ecosystem.

Thank you, Steemit Team.
