Weekly Report as Steem Representative, 29 May to June 4, 2025

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from Canberra,

It was another busy week, and thankfully it went well even if I was working overtime on the contest posts since another team mate reported sick. She had pain in her shoulder and hands and her doctor asked her to stay away from work for four day but she recovered in two days. I was myself busy with my offline project but I finished the job working for few hours extra each of these days.

I guess loosing internet connection or power outage are some common problems so I am ready to face them by reducing the dependency and work with a team of fewer but dedicated team. Even offline, I face some of these problems when in India so I chose my team carefully. So I must say I have no complaints whatsoever even if I was having trouble while my SC-24 teammates were having their quota of problems. But as they say all's well that ends well.

Curation duty

Right Now I am part of Curation Team-3 and using all my previous experience and supporting the best posts no matter what country community or rank they belong to.

Once again the only thing I am missing is my trips, as there was no time for any outing this week once again, and the way things are turning out, I see no outings in the coming weeks either. However, the snow is falling in my neighborhood at Snowy Mountains and I am planning to visit the place soon.

The last one was a long weekend due to Reconciliation Day on Monday 2 which is a time for all Australians to reflect on the shared histories, cultures, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I know very little about that but trying to learn how the average Australians contribute to reconciliation. And the next week will be a long weekend again. This is because King's Birthday, a public holiday which is on Monday, June 9.

My power-ups and reward summary

I am glad that I added STEEM to my wallet this week, bringing my total close to 50K+ SP, including the balance that I intend to add on 14th May, which happens to be my third anniversary on this website.

POWERUP
Let me announce at this point that I am going to add all my SP to my wallet as long as I am on this site. By the way I did an Orca post but it went unnoticed by one and all and that did not surprise me.

I did a couple of posts in other communities.

Hot News Time Master Contest 2025

Newbie Promotional Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity as moderator and Steem Representative. As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

I am proud to announce once again that I supported well over 100 newbies during the last 14 months, but the time is ripe when I think about different methods to support them every week, which should help them stay positive.

But I am planning to replace this program find something new soon to support newbies in their writing journey. I am planning to change its current forma and do something more creative also considering a couple of new strategies, like a "Travel Writing Contest" that will encourage them to share about their region and country.

However, I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in one of my posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies, but my "Newbie Support Program will be different a few weeks from now since I am busy in off and online projects right now.

My selected users

As a routine, I selected the first "newbie, @vscampbell, the first beneficiary of the week.

I selected for this post:

Our story, Val and EMS

As usual, I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on her post

My second newbie beneficiary is @mmutatiss

Her post

Achievement 1: Verification Through Introduction

A message on that post, which I have set as beneficiaries in this post:

My post for both these beneficiaries

In what direction this world is moving to?

Again, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to support them in spreading awareness and pacifying them in case anyone has a problem.

Once again, I am proud to announce that as SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but let me request of the authorities once again that the SRs should get more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians. I hope the Steem Team will see a point in my suggestion.

These are my regular posts.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week once again I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

Let me assure that I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks, all; have a nice time ahead.

Yours sincerely,

@dove11
