RE: Official Announcement Post for the Transition from TKC to QOTD

in #steem7 years ago

That's a good idea @tony10! I'd like to implement something like that alongside a QOTD... I think they would work together really nicely. I'll think on it some more and see if we can do it! TKC is not finished but rather making a sharp turn in a better direction (at least, this is my hope). I think QOTD is a lot better for engaging with eachother and allowing everyone to earn rewards in a more even and distributed way compared to just featuring 3-5 posts per day. There were a lot of issues with featuring people. A few of them being:

  1. A select group of people were superior writers and being featured multiple times in a row (angering some community members)
  2. A lot of people don't have time to write daily for a regular shot at being featured
  3. There were a lot of posts to sift through that were clearly written in hopes of winning the contest and not for the good of the community (some were outright plagiarized)
  4. The TKC tag was becoming spammy (in my opinion).

I started the whole project to encourage good content & engagement within the community and we had both of those, but they were frankly getting diluted by the noise of people wanting to "win". I think this QOTD system will allow the best comments/conversations to rise to the top and break through the noise and allow us to have real conversations about meaningful topics. Please let me know more of your thoughts on this. My hope is to just make the community as involved and valuable as possible, I believe QOTD is superior to the post-featuring system in that regard. Thanks for your support!

I agree with you. Anything that spreads the love to more people rather than the select few will be a winner. I will definitely be taking part in the QOTD.
I am thinking about also adding a QOTD to my posts as it clearly stimulates the community.
Should we stop tagging TKC then with our posts?
Thanks

I'm glad to hear it! Thanks for your support!
You can still tag with TKC if you want, there is still a solid amount of attention going to those posts, I'll do the best I can to read through some posts in the tag during my off time, but there will be no more competitions within the tag. Any competitions of any kind will be conducted through QOTD from here on out!
Thanks!
