Cameroon Country Representative's Weekly Report (July 12 - 18, 2021) by @thegreens | Delegated 30SP to 10 Newbies, organized Plastic Bottles Drive and Community clean-up campaign, etc
@thegreens’ weekly report | July 12 - 18, 2021
As usual, I always split my reports into two; the Steem Cameroon Community Report and @thegreens’ report
1. Steem Cameroon Report
Monday's are ghost town days in the English Speaking Regions of Cameroon. Accordong to the Cameroon Steemit Blogs Review and Curation Roster, i am charged with curating and reviewing the blogs of Cameroonian Steemians on Mondays as you can read in the updated blogs review and curation roster here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-weekly-blog-review-and-curation-roster-updated
Blogs review and curation was limited to only registered members of the @steem-cameroon community as detailed in this announcement: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-community-membership-announcement-or-are-you-a-cameroonian-steemian-have-you-registered
This made the process easier. We also changed our blogs reviews/curation strategy wherein we now review and curate from oldest post making sure that we don't skip any posts. This implies on a daily basis, we are always reviewing and curating posts that are 6 - 5 days old making sure that we don't skip any posts as well as ensuring that we give our accounts enough time to power up.
The feedback from our blogs review and curation program is amazing since no one complains of his posts not being reviewed nor curated.
Steem Cameroon Admin Meeting
On Tuesday July 13, 2021 members of the Steem Cameroon Team had an executive meeting to discuss some crucial issues about the community. Some of the key issues discussed focused on;
1. The status of @njiatanga
Despite our efforts to call to order @njiatanga who is one of the CRs and mindful of his inactivity and misconduct, the admins of @steem-cameroon comprising of @thegreens, @saxopedia and @fombae decided to suspend till further notice @njiatanga from the Steem Cameroon Community. Details about his suspension will be published in a post by @steem-cameroon.
2. Cameroon Steemit Njangi and Shares Program
It was realized some members had become delinquent with the Cameroon Steemit Njangi while others had opted out for personal reasons. @njiatanga due to his inactivity was delinquent meanwhile @bihnadine and @tenguhatanga opted out of the njangi but asked to remain part of the Steem Cameroon Shares Program.
@bihnadine later asked for her shares to be sold and a notice to Cameroonian Steemians will be made public so that people can purchase her shares.
3. Review of the weekly blogs review and curation roster
With the indefininte suspension of @njiatanga, a new blogs review and curation roster was designed as you can read here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-weekly-blog-review-and-curation-roster-updated
4. Contests
It was resolved that the Cameroon Steemit Program be re-launched so that we can have more contests, sensitization campaigns, trainings and community outreach programs.
5. The Steem Cameroon Delegations Reward Program.
