RE: @yourhelper Welcomes All Minnows And Newbies To Hard Fork 19 Era
hi @yourhelper.... You are spot on...... while there was worldwide minnow excitement last night because upvotes were worth a whole lot more so some of my posts were earning a whopping $10.... the after effects were certain felt. That noone was upvoting anymore. Everyone was tighter with their trigger finger. And that is understandable, with a lot less upvotes available of course people are going to do that. So there was great news.... then there was a brand new problem. But now I am just repeating your words lol....
I have a suggestion.... this is from the days when I ran a successful online forum... there was only tens of thousands of people, not quite like here. But I was able to keep my members motivated in generating thought provoking content that was intended to generate ongoing instructions.... with some threads holding discussions for years that had up to 30000 comments.....
In a nut shell... would it be possible that a post goes back up to the top in the new section every time someone is inspired to comment (comments from the original poster don;t count of course). And with that can work hand in hand with the upvote system.
At present.. a new post can be 30 places down after one refresh. So minnow posts no matter how good will disappear into the bottom of the ocean within minutes, and then they are lost forever.
I made a post regarding this yesterday... It is buried under a million other posts already lol.
Would you consider this strategy? It will not take away from the great Whales... But it will certainly give us little ones more exposure.

You have nice suggestion there. Never say never who knows what happens next? Steem on!!!
Millions of minnows like me will do ten times the amount of content and better content I believe :)
@yourhelper cannot sniff articles older than 24 hours. I hope you follow the rule next time. Thanks.
So you can;t see anything older than 24 hours?
This was the content:
And here is how I think it can be improved. Used to run and then own an online forum and I did so quite successfully. At the moment my understanding is that a post is pushed down by all posts after that in all sections. And those with the biggest followings get more views and upvotes. That is great and there is nothing wrong with that. However with so many steemiteers now posts barely have a few minutes before they go into the oblivion and never be seen again. Especially for minnows without a huge following.
What I would love to see is posts pushed back up to the top whenever someone comments on them. Not just an upvote... but a comment. I believe that is a fair and justified way to reward a post when it is good enough for people to make the effort to reply to it. And to further make it more effective comment made by the original writer of the post should not have any effect on the post.
I believe that this way, content creation will be less influenced by the clever intentions of just getting upvotes. Instead more focus will be put into creating content that generates more discussion which I believe is better evidence of thought provoking material.
In the days when I ran online forums, this keep people motivated to write content that is not just something they dump into a thread and not think about again. The better the post, the more discussion it generated, and the longer it stayed alive, some great threads stayed near the top where people could see it for years.....
Another suggestion is that, if we resteem something, can there be a space to leave a comment? That is executed perfectly by face book when people share posts and can leave a comment. This is common practice for hundred of millions of people seeral times a day now.
I am new here and do not wish to step on anyone's toes. Can I get some feed back to some of my seniors here on what I suggested.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Amazing suggestions as I said earlier. Everything is possible. Never say never. Who know how the next fork will be?
Thanks... can you tell me if posts like these are appropriate I won't bother you again tonight after this :)
