RE: Talk Channel: "Comment or ask a question"/ Comente o pregunte (week 272) in the WOX
How do you think community accounts should be managed, in terms of password control, votes and rewards in general?
I think there is a lot of rain on the wet. Although the content (stuffing) should subsist, because of the possible answers already mentioned. I'm still thinking about the form, which should be implemented to somehow motivate artists to create real art. With artistic values. Any of the manifestations that carry some muse by the hand. Will a banana with a seal on the wall be art? Is generic art? Will ignorance and foolishness reign in this century? Will we take as absolute what any famous person says, just because he/she has followers?
We should motivate more about participation. Give more votes to comments. Maybe even the creators of diary games, for the rewards, will be motivated to catch sunshine and comment more than two words.
Administrators always have the discretion to allow topics and content quality, however, I believe administrators should have some flexibility and pedagogy to guide users in improving their artwork and meeting the minimum standards they allow.
We are talking about community accounts that should help and focus on what we are talking about. (Don't misunderstand what I mean) Focus directly on improving the content. But for that you have to read the papers. Comment. Also, show real interest for others. For example, Hive is a dead community I attend daily. is that wanted for steemit? Banal posts with hundreds of votes. What does it mean, that the ability to reason has been lost? Are there own criteria, or is it the politics of the heap?
#wewrite #comment
It depends on the part of the platform where you post (I will not call it active) if it's dead or not. In average we can state that in most communities you will not find 1 single comment!
In August 2024 the suggestion is made by Pennsif to only upvote comments for 1 month and see what will happen. I found and still find that a good idea and as curators in September we voted for comments and also nominated them while most SCs don't. They don't care, because many of them never write a comment and if you don't write comments you don't read either. This is the case and nothing will change that as long as no one checks what those "so-called" comments look like. I also noticed that if I stop commenting others do the same and most good comments lead to me.
So what happens if I and a few others stop commenting?
I believe the Steemit Team made clear that they don't care about commenters and that they shouldn't receive a reward. If that were the case the choice for SCs would have been different.
For sure a part might stop posting but there would also be a group starting to comment actively and about the leaver all I can say is that the quality posts might be more visible and with that your question is answered.
Yes, there's a lot of truth in your point. Some curators don't have the ability to read comments; some even just want to be on a curation team to support their group of friends, which isn't fair. I think there's a lack of discipline or consistency in doing things, so I always wonder if users have a strategy or activity plan on the platform.
Can you imagine if, in a residential area, none of the residents go out to talk to their neighbors, don't build relationships, or meet to create improvements to the urban planning? In a certain way, nothing will advance in that urban society.
Sounds like a good question to ask but will the answer be true? Still worth asking. It can also be that there's no strategy or it develops later or they are used to make someone else grow.
I have no strategy, never had one but I do things different or act because of what I see, hear, read which is also meant as inspiring.
Isn't that the case in the offline world in many residential areas? I only have to look around me to see where the people live who only take and don't invest a cent in the neighbours let alone the "luxury" of their surroundings (own garden, park, streetlights, busstop..you name it). The result are ghettos and criminality rises.
Although it's not a strategy, it is an activity plan, but I assure you that there are users who, if they don't have three photos or an idea to develop a post, won't approach the platform, much less interact with others.
No more, no less.
That's why I say, when you say that if you have a community, you'll only accept quality paintings and not (a banana with a stamp on the wall), you're saying you'll exclude that type of content without guiding or motivating it to present something better.
On the other hand, it's important to be clear that on this platform and many others, there are direct investors who buy thousands of Steem. They use the voting power for their own benefit; that is, they give their own votes to their posts; they can't be forced to give votes to others. There's only one team that makes this possible (the Steemit team, through the Steemcurator and Booming accounts). There's a community support program, and not like on other platforms, where you must delegate SP or send Steem to receive votes in return.
Name one single Administrator willing to invest time in guiding newcomers on the platform or in the community. Just one.. I tell you there's no one and the a few who did spread a lot of nonsense and fear.. I am glad they are no longer around or at least I no longer meet them since the moment I gave up on joining contests (nearly one year ago how fast time flies by).
However we see it the question remains: whose community is it and who are the working dogs, the donkeys and who takes the money and runs? There's a huge difference between being a one-man community, using it as a storage for its own publications or fighting to be the number 1 with the nasty attitude, abuse and threatening members included.
The question is if the Steemitblog (is this actually every steemian?) fills the pocket of such a community (leader) shouldn't there be different rules?
I was referring more to guiding a user to share better work in the community itself. For example, if someone submits a drawing of a leaf and branch in their Art community, if the team doesn't agree with the drawing, someone from the team should say how they prefer the drawing—perhaps adding a fruit, or adding more depth or difficulty to the work shown. That way, good content is promoted in a community (in my opinion).
