Weekly Report as CR for Argentina - September 13th till September 20th
Weekly Report - CR for Argentina
This are the highlights of my contributions to Steemit platform and what I've been working on during this past week, that went from September 13th till September 20h.
It has been a great week, with lots of work to do and a lot of tasks correctly achieved, so I'm pretty happy about it! :)
The highlights of my work are:
- Writing & Reviews community
- Steem Argentina
- Curation with Steemcurator05
- Other posts and voting index
Writing & Reviews Community
Growth
Ever since we created this community with @belenguerra, we have been really successful, we kept coming up with new ideas to make users engage more and share good quality content. By now, we keep on growing at a very fast pace of more or less 100/150 users per week.
We get to see that our subscribers are really happy to be part of our community and feel really welcomed and appreciated, which means a lot to us. We work as much as we can to keep those feelings alive and to welcome anyone who feels like joining the W&R community.
We currently currently have 7.104 subscribers with 285 active posters. This means a 4% increase regarding last week, which is represented by 144 new users. We're growing at a fastest pace than ever, which is represented by how welcome and how hard we work towards making everyone feel part of it.
We have finally reached the 7K subscribers bareer!!!
Promoted posts
This past week, I've been in charge of choosing the posts that were part of our weekly Top Picks:
Although our huge efforts to try to support users as much as we can, sometimes it gets pretty hard to provide with more support to encourage them.
I'm also in charge this week of picking up the posts that will be supported in the Communities Support Program. We got our support reduced from five daily supported posts to three and that has impacted our active posters index. We hope to receive more help in the upcoming weeks. Report can be found here:
User verification
As well as that, and since we're planning on growing as much as we can, we asked for some feedback on how we can improve this community. As a result, we launched the user verification so that we're sure that no fake accounts are participating here. So far, we presented the third report in which 300 users were verified and we expect numbers to grow highly in the next days.
This is our forth report on this:
Delegations Program
As well as that, our Delegation Program is still up and running, and has had a great acceptance. We have increased the number of votes that we've given from the community account. Our new mod @soldieroffantasy has created a very detailed post on all curations that have been done to increase our SP, you can find it here.
We will work towards our second distribution this week!
Fighting against plagiarism
We have had a number of plagiarized posts lately, so we've endured our fight against all this type of actions.
Our protocol against plagiarism is simple and easy:
Every post gets checked. What happens if we find someone stealing content?
First warning: We mute that post and we let the user know that we won't tolerate that kind of attitudes. We keep score of these users and, if they have already their user verified, we also warn them that they will get their tag removed if that happens again.
Second warning: This is the final warning. We give no other opportunity to those who choose to perform this kind of actions over and over again. We mute the post and leave a comment, in which we specify that it's the second time we found these immoral activities and that we will no longer support their posts. Also, we put a "Bad Habits ❌" tag, so that it shows that the user has been performing poorly in our community.
This is the first report of offenders:
Also, due to STEEM being quite bullish lately, we have seen a growth in the number of users that plagiarize or steal content and spun it. That meant a huge work from our side to check that these people do not get supported. We're working on a post related to all those activities and attitudes that we won't tolerate in Writing & Reviews.
Weekly Contests
As a way of creating more quality content to our community, we're currently running two contests per week. This week, I was in charge of choosing the winners for our previous weekly contest:
New website for Writing & Reviews
As part of our growth and as a way to promote Steemit in a different way, I will be working on developing a brand new website (and also, as a way of practising what I'm learning!) for Writing & Reviews.
Curation with @writingnreviews
We also use our Community account to support and vote our fellow writers. We check that there's no plagiarism involved and we try to support and encourage everyone to keep performing their best at our community. Here's the voting index for Writing & Reviews community account.
Steem Argentina
As well as in Writing & Reviews, I voted as many users as I could to encourage them posting there. We have overcome the bareer of 550 users, which makes us really happy. It takes a lot more time to grow this community, as many people believe that we're only accepting Argentinians and that's completelly the opposite of what we're doing:
Also, I've been browsing different tags related to Argentina to check if there's any argentinian that might want to join but doesn't know about the community so far! As well as this, I've also been inviting newcomers so that they feel welcomed by us too!
Also, as a way to encourage people to be part of our community, we had launched a new contest. I was in charge of launching the new one for this past week:
I was also in charge of posting this week's status for all argentinian users.
Little by little, we keep on increasing and becoming more and more the argentinians that are wandering here in Steemit. We aim to help them grom in the platform and mentor them till they become great steemians.
Curation with Steemcurator05
I'm part of the team that curates The Diary Game posts with steemcurator05. We are now in charge of voting one day per week for each CR and we aim to reach from 40 users per day, voting up to 25% per user. We believe this is a great way to keep users motivated and to engage with the platform, specially for those who have been dormant for quite some time or that are not that aware of all the game we have here in Steemit. You can check out my curation report here:
Other posts and voting index
Here are other posts that I've done this week. I plan on start posting twice per day at least, so that requires a bit more planification and effort, but will be worth it :)
This is my attempt of not only posting reports and stuff like that, I also plan to post creative content, but it's discouraging sometimes that there's little support to written posts and not just posts with hundreds of pictures. Writing takes a lot more time than creating posts like that.
As I've said, I've been trying to vote and support as many users as I could in these communities.
Thank you @steemcurator01 and @steemitblog for this opportunity, I really enjoy helping the Steemit community grow :)
Hello @fendit my favourite mentor then in the academy. It's been awhile. Hope you are doing well. Best regards.
