RE: Steem Debates #1 : The Club System
It might be fair to say that if Steemit Inc are providing the Steem Power then they should be able to attach some conditions to how it is used.
It's totally fair. It's up to them if they feel like voting for only club100, nobody can stop them.
However, if we are to keep in mind what's beneficial for the blockchain in the longer run and review the past events, I think they need to choose the middle ground.
There was a time when the Inc. started making rules like curators and reps need to be in club100 and club5050 was mostly discouraged, the exception were a few reputable veteran users. That time was a little suffocating and made people frantically join club100 and eventually withdraw all rewards when they needed money. Since powerdown is highly discouraged, we lost many good users to it.
Why don't we only stick to club5050, where people are encouraged to build their accounts and at the same time can withdraw some rewards if they need to. I'm sure, this will improve the retention rate and there will be almost no need to power down and quit.
In a nutshell, I support the club system, but there's no need to add it to the rules and specially evaluate users' content on its basis. It should be one of the unspoken rules that if you want to get something from the community then you need to give something back too.
It's good to see some flexibility in the rules now.
¿Por qué no nos limitamos únicamente al club5050, donde se anima a las personas a crear sus cuentas y al mismo tiempo pueden retirar algunas recompensas si es necesario?
pero no es necesario agregarlo a las reglas y evaluar especialmente el contenido de los usuarios en base a él. Una de las reglas tácitas debería ser que si quieres obtener algo de la comunidad, también debes devolver algo.
De acuerdo yo por lo menos no estoy en ningun clubes y escribo poco porque en la mayoria de las comunidades exigen eso y es cierto que a veces necesitamos de todo lo que nos ganamos
I agree club5050 is a good compromise which allows people to both grow their accounts and to take some earnings.
That might seem to be a popular option.
That's why it would be good to configure it "by default"... whoever enters the platform already knows the rules beforehand.
