ALL MEMBERS required for @ssg-community change to Policy Parameters VOTE
Hello Steemsilvergold,
The 4 contributors for Precious the Silver Mermaid have been talking about an idea @gdwcoins commented around a month back. We have been throwing the idea too and fro for a few weeks and have decided that it is time for the community to make a vote.
The Proposed Idea
Do away with the free 1% upvote that every member receives. Bad crypto market means tough times are ahead and we need to make some changes to adopt to that. We propose that there should be a min amount of STEEM POWER delegation made to @ssg-community, aka Precious in order to receive any upvote. Paid level membership donations and delegations will remain unchanged. If you think we would be targeting non contributing members, you are right, there is no back door about it. This may sound harsh but when the crypto market is like it is, we need to be more focused on contributing membership levels. I would also propose that if any changes are voted on by the community, they will come into effect on 1st September.
Voting
In order to keep this as simple as possible, there are 3 options to pick from below. Please vote by commenting with your selection either A,B are C. You can see its a yes/no with 2 amounts of min delegation. If you have an actual comment are feedback, please put your letter first and comment after to make sure your vote is not missed. The voting will last for 1 week and results will be posted up next week, ** WE STRONGLY** encourage every single member of #steemsilvergold to use your vote.
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| No Change | Yes - 10 SP | Yes - 25 SP |
| 13 | 20 | 6 |
Voting stats will be updated everyday and we would hope you get at least 40 votes for this. I understand that steemit is not as busy but 40 members would represent around 25% of the community.
If there are any questions please ask in the comments are get inot contact with either @silverstackeruk, @raybrockman, @welshstacker are @thedamus on Discord.
Dont forget about the MONSTER RAFFLE
We are still collecting donations and i think we have hit 16 prizes so far after getting caught up today. We have around 6 MS-69 graded pieces, alot of 2 oz coins, a 5oz bar, lots of 1 oz's, some old coinage and a 1 gram gold bar. We are doing ok but time i running low and it would be great if any other member looking to get involved had a dig through there stacks and picked something to offer up for Precious.
All members donating will receive free tickets as a chance to win your own stuff back !!! haha
So far we have given away 35 tickets but we wonna give away more, lots more
I am @silverstackeruk and I approve this post

Vote added, thanks buddy
A... No Change... Let's try to make it through this... It would make it much harder to attract New Members, any other way... Some people have very little to work with, when they're first starting out... We need to help them grow... I don't like the thought of taking away, what little support they're now getting... We need them... Please re-consider and edit your votes...
I think he is right, instead maybe @ssg-community starts a curation trail and tell them to vote on it at scaled 50% for the upvote so they add to everyones content a little with upvotes and not tax their own voting power too much? Everyone gets curation, SSG gives tons of votes out when they do vote and everyone is happy? just a thought :P
Vote added, thanks buddy
I'm sure we also have the "option" to reduce the 1% to a smaller percentage... I'm still saying no change... We need to Hold Onto a Small Percentage up-voting power for non-paying Members that can be adjusted from Time to Time... Trust me... I know about low percentage up-votes...lol...
yes to option B or C if it is a delegation and not liquid payment. Realistically I'm ok with any of the 3. Maybe making smaller tiers than the 100sp level like 10sp - 25 sp - 50 sp -75 sp but not mandatory so more can participate with whatever each think can spare while maintaining enough to curate and work towards goals because some of us are more curators than posters while still supporting those at lower levels that need to grow a little more to be able to to so, I'm sure there is a way to keep everyone included . Last time I checked 100sp was the minimum too much for me at the time so I had been waiting for smaller tiers and gave up waiting and looking for it to happen. just a thought. I think having the numbers too high, you are shortchanging the delegations you could get from smaller users.
Also I know everyone hates this concept after the spring's debacle. Voting of most of our precious mermaid's post should be mandatory (not necessarily at full strength for higher sp holders) She helps us so fair is fair, it's a must for long term growth to sustain without having to rely as much on sp lease in the future. One vote a day isn't asking for too much.

Put you in for B
Hi,
Before voting I am wondering:
My gut reaction tells me not do things that would make any member of the community feel less valued.
However, I appreciate that the delegation levels you have suggested are pretty small so are doable for most people.
Im gonna be quick
1/ Why would paying members lose money for non paying members that hardy to never use the tag. FYI, Gold is already the least profitable level by the small amount
2/ If you know the answer, i dont need to check. That's a fair point and it was overlooked as this vote has been in the planning since before the MONSTER RAFFLE launched 2 weeks ago. I only think that if a raffle were not running, this would not be a question. I dont have a good answer for this one.
3/ @ssg-community and #steemsilvergold are not the same. You no that and you remember the problems we had when we tried this with Stax. Plus i have been doing those membership posts for 10 months adn evolved themover time, i already do my fair share of posting on @ssg-community and i need to leave some good stuff for my personal account.
4/ 73 1%'s and 4 new members that have not been qadded to Precious yet
5/ Is it worth it?
Thank you for your feedback as always. I personally think 10sp is doable for everyone. I do not think members should feel less valued. Alot of members think to much about Precious and the bot gets to connected to the community sometimes. I think if Precious as a service in the same way i use minnowbooster are smartsteem with the only difference of it being exclusive to steemsilvergold members. I think keeping Precious and other community related things very seperate
Thanks for your response
I'll say "B".
And like others have said, I'm willing to help delegate on someone's behalf. Perhaps when this is done, depending on how the vote goes, we could do a post where folks can just say if they would like temporary help with delegation until they reach a place to do it themselves? Then we can have volunteers toss some extra delegation in their name.
Vote added, thanks buddy
Ed says "b" 10sp.
Vote added, thanks buddy
Well said Ed
I am voting B , i know it may seem unfair but i believe this is an attainable level for nearly all members and a token gesture.
I propose a small ammendment in regards to the joining of precious that new member should recieve there first month free to able to raise there own delegation and if this is a struggle i am willing to help best i can with regards to delegation.
Vote added, thanks buddy
A - Was set up as a community bot to support anyone into the metals. There are probably others like me that go through periods of doing something else but it would be nice to be able to come back and post when the mood takes me and be able to get a gentle upvote to build some steem and then use that to pay old botface for a better vote when im in the right mood. Spread the 1% votes out like maggots in the sea to get the little fishes biting
Vote added, thanks buddy
I will go with B 10SP
