RE: Steem Debates #3 : Steemit Engagement Challenge - REVISITED
For a writer, the most important thing is the freedom to write. And on a decentralized platform, this aspect is like a question mark, where you are forced to write within a limited circle. As far as engagement is concerned, it's not possible without comments.
But comments should be such that one wants to respond to them and have further discussions (2-layer or 3-layer comments). The current engagement challenge and the teaching team's experience are proof that people are forced to comment (just to get support) even when they don't want to. And the post they are commenting on is not according to their psychology.
Now, as far as the engagement challenge is concerned, should it continue or not, and is the teaching team's initiative effective or not? In my opinion, the engagement challenge should be stopped now because it only benefits a few communities and writers. And to participate in the challenge, one has to follow the community rules and the tags generated by them, which is mandatory.
In my opinion, along with thediarygame and 'Better Life with Steem' topics, Steemit Inc. should start a new initiative with more topics (like CreativeCorner, FunFacts, BehindTheScenes, Q and A, HowTo ,DidYouKnow, VisualQuest ) that have their own specific tags. For example, A post can be shared with 4 main tags, such as #learnwithsteem, #steemexclusive, #countrytag, and #club5050,75,100. In which user can change the first tag, according to topics from the announced tags.
This way, users will have the freedom to post in any community they want, and by this all communities will be involved.
In every community, there are moderators who will moderate posts. As Steemitblog will announce specific Tags, community moderators will not face much difficulties in moderating those posts.
As for support, it can be made very easy. To highlight high-ranked posts, the services of Respected Steem Representatives can be utilized. They can recommend better posts for SC01 and SC02 votes. Many communities also have booming support, Communities can recommend good posts for booming votes. And for the curation of other posts, Respected Community Curators are also available.
And there's another idea. If the voting percentage of SC01 and SC02 can be reduced, like currently 30 to 66% vote is cast on a post. By reducing it to 20-45%, More Posts can support daily. This way, users will be happy, and no need for more big accounts.
You may disagree with my views, but I have shared these ideas keeping in mind the psychology of writers. However, if my comments have hurt anyone's feelings, I apologize.
Saludos, todos tus puntos son los que realmente han llevado a los retos a ser fastidiosos, tediosos y a tener pocas participaciones.
Un ganador de un reto recibe un voto de 30%, no estoy de acuerdo que ese porcentaje sea menor, ahora el porcentaje a una comunidad que organiza es del 66 % ese si puede bajar para así apoyar a mas usuarios.
Bendiciones.
Saludos estimado amigo @yancar.
El tema de los concursos en los SEC es bastante dinámico, hay quienes están a favor y quienes están en contra, ahora, una gran verdad es que las participaciones han bajado exponencialmente.
En cuanto al % que recibe una comunidad por organizar un concurso en el SEC, recuerda que dicho % se divide entre los 5, 6 y hasta 8 moderadores que tiene la comunidad, y eso es una pequeña recompensa por la moderación de las participaciones en el evento.
De bajarse el %, el cual es dividido entre el número de moderadores, se hace mucho menos del 10 - 12 % real para cada miembro del equipo, los cuales, pasan largas horas verificando en cada publicación contenido (Texto e imágenes) que no sea plagio, generado por IA, que no tenga bots de votación, que cumpla las normas del desafío, que tenga un CSI por encima del 5%, que se encuentre en los clubes y que por supuesto no esté en power down.
No obstante, luego de terminar la semana, deben discutir los 3 post ganadores o destacados entre todos los participantes.
En fin, tiempo, mucho tiempo que pudieran dedicar a trabajar sus propias cuentas.
Saludos
Saludos amigo, es cierto hay comunidades que les dan ese porcentaje a sus MOD, otras no lo hacen, es un plus por el gran trabajo de moderar.
La cuestión no es bajar porcentaje tampoco a los post ganadores, es a lo que quiero llegar, mas me centro en que la SEC ya es una dinámica aburrida, repetitiva y muerta.
Feliz y bendecido día.
Agree.
I haven't been involved in a community running a challenge but I think it must involve quite a bit of work and coordination.
Would communities still want to run the Challenges if they received lower votes on their weekly posts?
Si es trabajo, tanto para los administradores como para los moderadores, por ello ese voto es valioso, pero lo dije porque no creo que sea tampoco bueno bajar los votos de los ganadores.
I do think change is needed. It will be interesting to see how the Engagement Challenge changes if it keeps going.
Having as wide a range of curators as possible is important to spread the curation rewards across the whole community.
Yes, I also hope that changes will create some positive opportunities for content creators.
I also think that there should be an increase in curator accounts. but I remember that when I once demanded this, I was asked by SC01 , that where the power for those accounts would come from, and I had no answer to that question.
