The unwritten rules of steemit!💡 #Bartcardi
The unwritten rules
Steemit the platform has alot of unwritten rules that the steemians respect. So by breaking these rules you will most likely get flagged and you could ruin your account. Getting flagged means your reputation and payouts will drop. So basically everything you work for. That is why i am explaining the unwritten rules to prevent this from happening to you.
Asking for upvotes
This is an absolute 'no go' in the steemit community. So yeah...
When people come to steemit, they find it hard to get anyone to view their content. What happens is that they will start doing things like "upvote for upvote" and will get nothing out of it. You will get another steemian to upvote the content without looking and then leave your page. Other steemians will see your reaction and flag you or ignore you. Doing this is time consuming and you could also put that time in writting great content. So just.. Just don't. Trust me
@Cheetah keeps his eyes on you
In the steemit community it is important to create your own original content. Alot of people try to copy a post from another website and take credit on steemit. But they don't know @Cheetah will take them down! Nowadays there is a bot on steemit who spots copy/paste content and points that out. So @cheetah will tell every other steemian that the post isn't original content and you will get flagged. So again just... just don't. Trust me
Don't become spam
Its important that you are not overposting and become spam. I see alot of people posting 10 times a day a really small post. That isn't the way on steemit! Connect all those posts together and create one great post. Put some time in your posts and you might become succesfull. I would suggest posting 5 times a day is the maximum.
Think about your actions
- Keep your blog yourself. I see some people resteeming so much that i can't find a post of themself. It is important to just resteem posts that actually have value. Just like this one ;). Nobody is gonna like your blog for your posts if they first see 50 resteems.
Always promote youself!
You feel the irony here LoL
Upvoting
- Unlike any other social media platform on steem your upvotes are limited. I suggest upvoting 20 times every 24 hours this way you will keep 100% voting power. If you upvote more then that your voting power will decline and become less valuable. This will recover when u don't upvote for some time.
- Don't upvote bots that have automatic messages
- Don't upvote people who don't interact and are just here for the money
If you are doing this then you are wasting your vote and no one will appreciate it! I am telling you this, because i see alot of people wasting their energy on this. Again just don't... just don't. You might think to yourself is this article worth one of these ten upvotes? Yes it is!
Watch your grammar!
What the hell is he saying? That is the opposite reaction you want to your blog. Neverless this is the reaction alot of people get, because of their grammar. So try to write your content with the right grammar and don't make too many spelling mistakes. The right grammar contributes to a great blog!
I hope this is helpful!

Why are people trying to dictate how others should post and behave on steemit? If someone wants to write: "Beautiful pictures!" on a post, that's ok. Let people behave like they want, if you personally have a "set" word-count of what's a good comment, good for you, but that shouldn't dicate others.
I am just telling everyone the personal lessons i learned on the platform.
I understand, I didn't comment to insult you or your post, but what I mean is that, there's a general attitude among steemians that you "have" to write something interesting. I just want there to be room for more casual comments instead of people always trying to outsmart themselves and always "top" their latest comments.
The problem with generic comments such as "nice post" is that they are usually just spammers or bots trying to farm upvotes. If you really liked something tell me what you liked. It doesn't have to be something long and/or very "smart", just something that shows that you actually read or see the post/picture/video.
I agree, but honestly, if a bot comments one of my posts with "nice post", I really don't mind. I've seen people lash out to people commenting their posts: "Dirty spammer" etc.. Not cool in my opinion.
There is a difference between an empty "nice post" comment and a casual one. The problem that is those "nice post" comments sometimes crowd out the genuine ones and make the comment section less readable. They are the sort of behavior we want to discourage. It is commendable if someone takes up the task of cleaning up the platform and flags such comments if they appear to be the work of bots. If they are left by newbies, it is a good practice to give them a friendly warning and refer to the FAQ.
this is a "nice post", lol
You must like the taste of polyester, the favourite flag fabric. :D
I personally don't lash out at spammers or downvote them because it's a waist of my time and voting power. For me it's more cost effective to ignore them, that way they don't get a benefit.
However, allowing serial spammers and trolls to flourish has a negative impact on the value of the network. In some cases (not all) it is necessary to take action by using a downvote while being civil.
Fair enough:)
I agree
@Bartcardi post your is very useful for the steemian.
Especially me as a beginner in steemit
Thank you @bartcardi
agree with you
It's not like it changes anything, you won't get more reputation or SP/SBD/STEEM. I agree with @bartcardi in everything on this post. This is what I call great content.
I understand how you feel. Personally, I'm happy for the tips. Free advice is hard to come by nowadays.
Most people always search for loop-holes in any system for quick and easy gains. It's human nature!
your right this is human nature cheat the system
And they are unable to see long term negative effects of their actions.
Evolution has designed us that way. We are optimised to optimise everything, to find shortcuts whereever possible.
I feel like a lot of third world people just copy and paste something they think is good but they don't even speak English. It's sad how they will post the same misspelled shit over and over.
its takes time to create good content for sure
True that
