RE: Looking For Answers On The New Steemit Savings Feature - Where Is The FAQ Page For Steemit

in #steemit9 years ago (edited)

Wouldn't it make sense to have a FAQ page so people can get answers to questions like this?

I checked Google and found a video showing the new feature, but no explanation as to how it works. All I found was posts asking the same question. What is it? What does it do? Why roll something out and not explain it?

I checked @ned @steemit and countless other pages looking for answers and found none.

@steemit would be a logical place to look for answers to new updates, but I found only one post made 7 months ago. Hmm, strange. Social networks need to communicate people. Hello.

Do you, like me, think there should be a FAQ page for Steemit? I'm sure it's a great feature, but how are we going to get support and buy-in from the community when a new feature rolls out and no explainantion whatsoever is offered? It's baffling to me that intelligent people seem to have missed this detail.

Quoted almost in full, as you raise a valid point, and your complaint is justified, especially since this is not the first time a new feature is rolled out along with a bugfix hardfork without a) prior discussion or b) at least a belated, authoritative explanation. Let us not even talk about c): proper documentation.

Most changes were for the better, IMHO, but how this behaviour can be considered trust-building is beyond me.

There is not even one blog where such info would be accumulated, so each time you have, as you said, hunt down @ned, @dan, @dantheman, @steemit, @steemitblog and whatnot. It's utterly discouraging and, to be blunt, unprofessional.

UPDATE: NEW FAQ PAGE IS HERE

Two days after I made this post the Steemit FAQ page was published. How cool is that? Here are the links. Please share them with new people on Steemit.
