RE: Steemit Needs Series #40: | A Fun Post! | Pls. Comment With Your Ideas to Improve Steemit!! | 2/15/2018 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.
Hello @barrydutton, comments are sort of returning to what they were 3-4 months ago it seems, that seems to of been the last big influx of people and spam bots, In this influx it seems to be made up of more people than bots, not sure about that, but it seems I am having to use my mute button more on people than bots.
I am working with a group of people that are trying to educate new users on how to comment and how to grow on steemit, the newbieresteemday project. It has grown quite a bit and we have helped lift several individuals from 25 rep to the 40 rep in short time frames, and encourage good commenting. By using the #newbieresteemday tag, you will attract attention of some of our members, and new users that are looking for help, or willing to provide help. As a group we try to help those with Quality Content, I myself have turned down helping some because I felt they were bots or just here for a quick buck.
I do not have a problem with the quick buck people, but when they do not even want to listen to basic common sense they get ignored. If you are interested in what has been happening, click the tag #newbieresteemday and look for @mudcat36 or @davemccoy or @beeyou, or @amariespeaks re-steems or their pages.
To conclude, if you think we can help you, or you can help us, or you know of a new user that is looking for help just let one of the above know. If you feel my response is something that you were not looking for let me know, I can always edit or delete it. I hope you are having a better day than some of your past ones.
It is a great comment, on many levels, so no problems.
I already do a lot of this actually on my own, all week on here, helping people and regularly tell them on my blogs, about their comments and what is important and try to be nice to people -- but when they are rude, they get that back.
I feel the same as you. I have UV so many minnows even with half my SP gone, I can get them to 30 rep from 25 in one vote, sometimes 2.
Months ago, I did that 3-5 times a week every week, but all the people I helped just forget about me once they start making a few bucks.
I could take someone to 50 rep, back then in 2 full power votes and did it REGULARLY to help.
-- good comments I say again.
UV.
It is nice seeing people help out the real new users. There is a lot of minnow help, but a lot of that cost a little sbd here or there, or a full upvote to get help. Thank you for Just helping people.
No problem man, thanks for the kind words. I have caught a lot of grief here - it has kinda broken my heart.
