Steem round went really well and we also got some delegations! Whoohoo! Thanks to all the delegators and steem donations. The old leases got renewed and we have a new one in the market. If all go as planned we should be around 22K SP pretty soon. =)

Hammer time!

Well, we all know MAW is a pretty passive project and I let it run without being too strict, letting things slide here and there. Just because I like you all so much. The truth is though, I will have to be more strict from now on, starting next week I will be more strict with the vote counts as well as the upvote weights. Quite a few members have dropped below the required 500SP. This is becoming a bit of a problem and we need to keep it fair to all members. MAW has some math in the background to keep up with the current SP leasing and supporting members. I will be sending out wallet message to those who need to up their MAW game.

UPDATE: Hammer DOWN!!

From this week onwards all the members and voting patterns will be checked once a week (each Tuesday). I hate to pause upvoting for some members but we have to think of all the members and we have to be fair towards everyone. Please understand and let's work as a team to make this project better for all the members involved.

Upvotes paused?

LOW SP?

Members who are paused can be because since joining their SP has fallen below the minimum of 500. This can be countered by paying a penalty fee to unpause your upvotes from MAW. (At current rates = 3.3 STEEM per month) Paying the penalty fee will resume your upvotes from MAW. =)

Low Upvote Weight?

The members who have been paused because their upvotes are too low means they are not following the formula for minimum upvote weight is:

50000/ (Your SP) = Voting Weight towards @make-a-whale posts.

Adjust the weight and your the upvotes from MAW will resume. =)

Once again apologies for this and I do hope all the members understand. We have to be fair and we have to work together. We can't let some members carry all the weight and the other enjoy the free ride.

UPVOTING RULES

The @make-a-whale project requires constant feed from his followers. That way he can return the favor and feed his followers. This can be done manually or using Steemvoter to simplify and automate the process. That way you never have to worry about missing votes.

---

You can pick how you upvote MAW:

1. Steemvoter (recommended).

Guide on how to set up your Steemvoter account.

2. Manual upvoting - if you do not like using Steemvoter you can manual vote.

We have worked out a scale that will make sure @make-a-whale always upvotes you with a bigger upvote than the one you used to upvote the daily post, if you post on average once a day. Thus, the fair scale ensure you always win!

There are some members who support the project with larger upvotes and this is greatly appreciated! The more we grow the more members we can recruit and give better upvotes. Thank you for the extra support!

MAW will check the upvotes each TUESDAY. Skipping more than 4 per week will result in a reminder. Failure to catch up before THURSDAY will result in upvotes being paused. Thus, it will be your own responsibility to make sure your upvotes go through to the MAW posts. =)
