To many who knew not what steemfest is; it is the annual gathering of Steemians all over the World and this year's edition is taking place in Lisbon Portugal. It had been announced hundreds of times in the past, hosted and organised by Witness @roelandp for @steemfest.
Not all of us could afford to be there, even though i craved and entered some contests so i could have a tiny chance to be at Lisbon this year; But won none! So this week and next week's episode of "That Awkward Moments" is dedicated to Steemfest 2017 Lisbon!

Hopefully Steemains at the Steemfest Hackathon in Lisbon read this special edition, this episodes explains some of the Freak-shows Minnows/newbies perform on Steemit.
VOTE FOR VOTE: RESTEEM FOR RESTEEM
Just imagine a secenario where a newbie/minnow keeps sending PM/DM on Discord and Steemchat to Steemians like our dear @berniesanders asking for his vote and promising his in return or a Resteem; Isn't that a Steemit Suicide?
SELF ACCLAIMED MODS
Some minnows/newbies had assumed the role of Moderators on so many channels and rooms, the intent isn't clear; Maybe to get votes or to get popular-who cares! It had happened to me and i have seen it happened where a newbie/minnow is challenging a Dolphin or a Whale who needs people(Wider Audience) to read his/her latest Blog and hence dropped the post link in some channels. Then came the attack: why did you drop your link here without interacting?
A known fact is, no Whale or Dolphin needs much of Minnows/newbies Votes because it is too tiny. So why create uneccessary enemies for yourselves?
THE LOBBYIST
A lot of people like cheap things, so many choose to lobby for upvotes instead of using several legit means of acquiring votes e.g @randowhale @minnowbooster @booster @buildawhale etc. They won't use any of this but keep sending tips to Whales with Links to get Huge upvotes. As silly as it sound, several of those posts sent to this Whales with Tips/Bribes are Craps!
THE IDENTITY THIEF
Have you ever wonder seeing names so similar to various popular Steemians or a whale? Why do you think such individuals pick very familiar name? One thing is common, imposing to get more votes and attentions from their Shittiness!
THE REWARD POOL SPAMMER
Many newbies do not know this, the maximum number of times you could get upvote from the same Steemian is two times under 24 hours. Reason is that, no matter how creative you are, the votes needs to spread to other users and it is ideal you conserve your creativity for other days. But we all have witness some crappiness after every 3 hours or more; same unrealistic post from same user every few hours.
This what i call "The Reward Pool Spammer". It takes time and efforts to create something meaningful which sadly at times doesn't get enough support, talk-less of Crappy Blogs every hour in a day!
DUMB CONTESTANTS
Only untidy individuals jumps into any contest without knowing the rules of engagements/Terms and Conditions, in reality such person is disqualified. Sadly this is the order week after week on the Blockchain- Steemit! It is very disappointing that the Past winners still enter same contest and still not abide by the rules of the same game they had won in the past. e.g @steem-lagos weekly giveaways suffers heavily weeks after weeks from such contestants without paying detailed attention to the rules of the Game!
This week's "Awkward Moments" is aimed at correcting some of this blunders committed repeatedly by newbies and hopefully this gets to every corner of Steemit.
FOLLOW-UPVOTE-RESTEEM AND MAYBE DROP A SUPPORTING OR CONTRARY COMMENT.....It's your friendly Neighbor @oluwoleolaide for Steem-Lagos-Nigeria-Africa-World!

Hi @oluwoleolaide challenging a whale to me is pure foolishness i will never do that, humility should be the key here on steemit for minnows and thanks for today's post its too sweet.
@josediccus your humble boy reporting tommorow at allen avenue Ikeja
Hhahahaa, buddie; i have seen things on Steemit.
The dude apparently didn't know who the user was, an Orca i believe. And he humbly stated that he wants more newbies in community channels to read and spread the news. I won't be surprised the fella is out of Steemit cos nobody made him a moderator to ask people for interactions before dropping a link.
See you tomorrow mate and bring someone along so we get them on Steemit!
