As I was saying, pardon me for splitting my comment, my grand daughter told me to split it. 😂
Creating a community isn't easy at all because you need to have alot of experience, you need to fall in to list of steemians who engage in this platform every blessed day. You need to have a good reputation in steemit too and you need to have resources, large amount or average, I mean steem power. Am indirectly talking to the moderators in the community because they are still growing in steemit for goodness sake.
I know what it takes to create a community and I admire that action even though is not an easy thing but I prefer to wait till I have alot of resources, before I leave this platform I must create a community, that's my mindset and am still growing as I haven't gotten to well I planned to be before creating one.
Ok look at Muhammad, who joined steemit recently, not up to 500 steem power and he's a moderator in three communities why? I knew how I even struggled before I became a moderator in steem for Pakistan, in the next two days I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary as a moderator in Steem for Pakistan community, I worked hard every week so inexperienced steemians should stop rushing to be a moderator.
I actually don't like comments that are cut into several parts. It's like watching a Korean drama series. I have nothing against Korean drama series, I just don't like waiting for the next part. But since the one calling is sk19, I ignore that feeling.
I created a community a few years ago, and it eventually got abandoned. That's right what you said, SK19, it takes a lot of resources for a community to run smoothly, not just power (SP) but also manpower. That's the lesson I've learned from creating the community. It's similar to Socrates' opinion, the philosopher I admire, "By all means, marry. If you find a good wife, you will be happy. If not, you will become a philosopher." Maybe he was comforting himself or telling the world about his misfortunes in his household life, or both. In my case of creating a community, it's not much different from the story of Socrates, "Create a community, if you're not rich, at least you'll know how difficult it is to manage a community." 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is a noble task in the "Steem-Verse", especially related to the tasks of verifying articles, and for some others it is to increase engagement. So it requires good communication skills and time, in addition to dedication to the basic values of Steemit. Currently my name is listed in 1 community as a moderator. And that was after a fairly long conversation following an offer from the community leaderboard, the conversation was mainly about what my tasks would be. There was no talk about how I would benefit, not at all. What made me unable to refuse (if I wanted to refuse) was because they had already delegated a little SP before asking me to take care of this community. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 The art of bribery at its best!
Last week someone else offered me to moderate their community, and after a series of conversations on Discord I had to refuse, because there's works I need to do regularly I felt I would not have the time.
Come on, sk19, build your SP to 100k and we will join forces to create a community, maybe a "We Don't Like Cheaters" Community? Or something a bit more serious like "Come Join Us and Write Anything You Like Anytime You Want But Don't Plagiarize Because We're So Cool, And Maybe We'll Upvote You Now And Then (Upvote Not Guarantee - And Only When We're Not Asleep)" Community.
Note: this is not the first part of the comment, as there are no grandchildren there to force me to stop my rambling.

Let me start from the bottom, like seriously? No do you want me to feel guilty for doing that? 😂. Don't worry there will be grandchildren soon.
My boss said I really appreciate, this is the first time I decided to split a comment. Yes manpower is also one of the resources because is not easy at all, it was even more tougher and also profitable when communities used to do engagement challenge and not teaching team.
Almost everyone wants to have their own commmunity, because it feels like owning a school, it feels like owning a hospital or even a hotel but there's no much resources for now that's why these people haven't created communities.
Incredible I will take this as one of my challenge to work harder and smarter here. I have always wanted to have more than 100k steem power. Things has not been easy for me but I smile each time I keep on believing that the future is bright. But let's see how it goes.

No, I doubt everyone wants a community what's the point? It's not that you are noticed more if you have one. No free time and people depend on you or see you as their piggy bank. The only reason for a community is to use it for your private databank. It's easier and faster than taking a new account and build it from scratch (and have to introduce yourself again).
Come on SK you are still young so you have time to catch the 100K.. it would be awesome to start the "We Don't Like Cheaters Community" a bit sooner. I still have a community in mind though.
WDLC is that a good name?
Yes that's why I said almost everyone especially some steemians who think they will gain more if they do a community, that's only possible if they do it at the right time.
I see a community as a child to the admin, I love children and am even supposed to use that scenario to create a community and take it as my child till when I get married in the next few years and get a biological child 😂.
That will be a very unique community that will even frustrate alot of cheaters because they won't get our support and this community can also make cheaters to stop cheating, yes when they realize we are doing well and also voting posts in a good way that attracts more subscribers they will have no option but to repent and start doing good just to join the moving train, some of them may even start confusing. At the end the ideal ones who repented will remain but some who pretend as if they have repented entirely will go back to their old sef. Maybe we can interview them before accepting them.
You should only watch K-drama (or romance) if the entire season is available and not just one episode.
So far no one paid me for being a mod. I believe it's time to stop.
Thanks for the wakeup call.
Hi, the person who created community should do his best to keep it up because it is his "baby", even if he has no Steem for prizes but the person can come along with comments. If the admin has no interest community will not live long.

Yes, that is what I mean. Commenting, supporting, promoting can be done even if you have no SP/Steem and what I don't understand is why that doesn't happen but also why the idiot who pays is treated badly.
Thanks for stopping by @wuddi

Yes, it is. Sad but true you are right. ♥️🍀
That's the point but at this moment or then, the admin is just confused, he still needs more time to build himself in steemit, he hardly engage on other steemians posts and that's something he's supposed to do now instead of creating a community.
You and I know that life is a process.

Will you be celebrating, like, by sending us some SPs?
Note: Not comment part 2, this is a total different comment.

No no no 😂😂. Relax is not a big party. I know you like parties 😊
Better SP than cake. Shall we go to the bioskop together?
Creating communities in general is something that I am not a fan of, that is why I wanted to tell my opinion about the communities in separate post because it is too much for a single comment.
Oh you aren't a fan of it, ok you can do the post for us to read and comment. Your post about it can also produce long comments from others 🤧.
We are waiting for your post. If it comest to creating a community it is as useful as creating an account is. How many unused or hardly used accounts does Steemint count? Does anyone know? It all depends on what you want or like if it comes to an account or community (officially a hive). Should a hive be shared, be for everyone? Does it harm anyone I use it my way? I paid for it or?
Okay MRr 71-year-old. You want to start a community before you leave? Seriously? What's the point if you leave?
Also, why should you invest your earnings in a community instead of investing it and make sure you have a pension for the next 30 years you have to foresee in your "salary"?
I find it nonsense to say the founder of a community should be rich to start one. You can start one for you or you can find a group likeminded and stick your heads together and your capital and run it but the question remains: why should you or why should I pay others, reward them? Shouldn't there be something in return?
What do you think @joslud?
I mean why should the owner of a community pay the members? It's what I do in a way by upvoting a group with more than 1 account but just like I said goodbye to Student & Steem I believe the time is also right to ask myself why I keep upvoting because it feels as if I am one of those rare species who still does out of habit.
Greeting to your granddaughter!
My opinion, I believe in the community as a need for the decentralization of the blockchain, to create groups of users with similar interests. I don't agree that the creator or administrator is the only one who paid.
The impression I have at present is that communities are becoming fossilized due to the amount of regulations.
I am clear that Steemit is a Social Network that generates dividends. A community where everyone invests and the profits are distributed equally.
I like Tipu's bonus system, which in some way challenges you to find good content and bet on it by voting for it. The system calculates the profits for that day and distributes it based on your work done. Although it is not a community, it does provide an incentive to continue curating content.
So in some way a community needs to incentivize its subscribers, one way is by granting a dividend by being able to vote on their content, which is another way. If the rules are agreed upon, that's fine by me. In addition to the others you've mentioned.
Personally, I have my standard for deciding what and who to vote for, I don't feel obligated to vote for everything and everyone.

I thought there was a time we all were able to send a tip to someone. What happened with that option?
If it comes to paying I like to put it the other way: should the moderators grow a community, pay for everything while it isn't theirs, they are not paid? Because that's the problem here. I don't mind saving for what is mine or what I set up for someone else or a group to upvote but no one pays me to be a moderator or ever did. Instead I am asked to pay for all costs.
