Launch of Steemit Communities & #steemsilvergold

Communities for #steemsilvergold

I know that 100%, SSG will create a community when launched and I think we should all start looking into some of the options that we will need to decide on to be prepared. There is not a lot of solid information out there but there are a few things that we know.

From what I understand, steemit communities are best compared to a subreddit. A hard fork is not required to add them in and a new steemit account has to set up to create a community. Whoever sets up the account is the community administrator, basically the community owner. This person can then make other user's moderators that would help with the running of the community. With SteemSilverGold I would assume that the private keys for the community account would be shared between 2-3 trusted members that would run the account for the community. We already have moderators in place so no worries there.

A fresh start for #steemsilvergold

Apart from that, everything is still pie in the sky. It sounds like we will be able to customize the interface a little bit but only basic visual stuff and nothing technical. I think that we should take this opportunity to make a fresh start for steemsilvergold. I am assuming a few things here so I might be wrong. I would assume that to become a member of a steemit community a user has to be accepted by the admin are a mod. This would replace the current SSG recruitment process as I assume there will be a "Join Community" button somewhere. This will give admins are mods the choice to either accept are decline users' membership to the community.
This could be a fresh start for #steemsilvergold has been waiting for. If every member has to go through a brief screening to get added into the new community, then we will shed a lot of dead members and members that are abusing Precious. This could be a brutal process leaving 50-60 members out of the 160ish we have now. Just being active within steemit is not good enough anymore and we should focus on precious metal stackers. This gives us the chance to rebuild our core members. This is something I have been looking forward to for a long time, so long that I had given up on the idea of steemit communities. I can not wait until these are launched.

ABUSE

Of course, there will be abuse with the cost of these things said to be 3 STEEM. I mean that's only 50 cents which in the UK is not enough to use a public payphone are even buy a roll of toilet paper. It's nothing and opens the doors to thousands of scam communities popping up. Anyone will be able to start 100 communities for 300 STEEM are $50 which is insane. I would have thought the price to start a community should be at least 500 STEEM if not more and maybe even a yearly fee as well. The price is to low and opens the doors to bullshit scams. I'm not sure what #newsteem's take will be on this as this will also bring in an influx of pure carbage content and community promotors to the eco-system.

I look forward t these being released and think they will provide perfect timing for the #steemsilvergold community to have a rebirth

Let's get the ball rolling and get looking into this because it's something that we will want to be part of and no better time to start than now. Feedback folks, please
