The Role Model Steemian Contest
- @GoGoGadgetUpvote -
I found out about the contest initiated by @anomadsoul where he will be giving away some major delegated Steem Power. I wanted to nominate someone who fits all the criteria to win. I wanted to nominate someone participating in the community and that is working to help build it in a positive way. One of the most positive things I could think of when it comes to helping this community grow is helping new people on the platform. From what I got from the original contest post that you can read here, this contest and reward is for those that don't have the power to help the community as much as they could.

I know when I first started Steemit, not so long ago, it was confusing and quite intimidating. There were a few select Steemians that made me feel welcome or helped me out with the newbie stuff... or even answered a question or two about coding and markdown... and that is what I won't forget. @GoGoGadgetUpvote was one of the first people I came across that was taking the initiative as an individual to help get new introduction posts more widely circulated and upvoted. My favorite part is that he had criteria and standards too! Having quality control while at the same time helping those first getting started to get engaged and plugged in to the community with incentive I felt was priceless.

I don't even have a slider yet... so I have to be a bit sparing myself when voting as not to exhaust my voting power, I can only begin to imagine how complicated it gets when you have a community or objective to accomplish. I witnessed firsthand that @GoGoGadgetUpvote is a terrific steward of delegated SP. He was one of the first people that inspired me to always be on the hunt to help out newer people too. Sharing is caring and every intro post of quality I would tag him in the post. (Steemit doesn't notify you of when you are tagged YET! But it Should!) I didn't want the daily bounty... I just wanted to give back in the same way the community had given to me.

The Almost "Daily Introduceyourself Bounty" Contest is extremely beneficial and I feel deserves some more support from people that have it to lend! I feel it's one of the most encouraging and least confusing way to help out new people with their entry onto the platform as well as a very interesting way to offer alluring incentives to curate in that area! The irony is that the "Learn Something New Every Day" Contest, which is extremely engaging and fun, has become more rewarding by participation than the almost daily introduce yourself contest. I feel this may change if there was more to offer in incentives for the curation of the introduce my/yourself categories. Who knows what other creative initiatives Gadget could come up with if The Inspector had more SP to work with?!

This is the spirit of what will make Steemit the place we all see it becoming. As this platform grows we will need people like @blocktrades and @anomadsoul and @gogogadgetupvote to be there helping develop what truly gives and brings value to the plaform as a whole and all of it's communities, The Steemians! I am sorry my entry was so late... but I truly hope you or any Big Fish will consider offering @GoGoGadgetUpvote some delgated Steem Power in support of all the selfless work yet to be done! The Inspector gets my vote for the Role Model Steemian Contest!

Totally agree! @GoGoGadgetUpvote is rolemodel to many of us. Upvoted and resteemed. Good luck with the contest.
Thanks! The Inspector is pretty awesome! I hope he wins some of that reward. I appreciate your upvote and resteem. I know that will help get the word out.
Happy to help. Hope he wins as well, guess we'll find out in a couple of hours :)
Thank you for the support, my friend! I am grateful for the praise and support!
And I'm grateful that people like you are on Steemit 👍
This is wonderful, to be honest I expected a lot more posts from us steemians that follow and support @gogogadgetupvote work and himself as a person, and the support he gives out to everyone of us steemians! But even these 3 posts I can't be thankful enough that we made them and the possibility for him to get the delegation, now we just need to wait and see!
Yes, It's hurry up and wait now! I think it's hard to keep up with what's going on all the time on Steemit... so it's good to have more community involvement. I wasn't sure where to get in where i fit in at first. I know many probably felt or still feel that way. That is one of the best parts of Steemit is that we can all learn and grow together! It was your post that got me to get involved here! So it's working. =) Thank You
No problem man :) I wish you good luck and if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me :D
The "hurry up and wait" part is always the worst, lol. Thank you again for this awesome post!
Honestly, I feel blessed having ANY of these "rolemodel" posts dedicated to me, let alone 3 of them! I am really glad that I have been able to encourage so many people on the platform! Delegation or not, I am still going to keep doing what I do! Your support helps make my contests possible, and they really are a lot of fun to run. But 3 posts and several comments on each of those posts endorsing me has definitely got to say something. Thank you again for your encouragement, it really means a lot to me!
Always my friend, I can't wait to have some capital to rent sp, and to find out where because it's not working on minnowbooster or I'm just stupid.. It's good feeling to like and give plenty, I am sad that there's no slider when you don't have 500 sp because my usual 6 cents vote turned to 1 :/
I didn't know about them but all those who make easier for newcomers to enjoy and stick on the community deserves my repect and support.
There is nothing I can do on this subject but follow them and vote , a little bit from me.
I've created a whatsapp group for my friends and family that I've attracted here and graphic tutorials are on the way so maybe they have not to suffer looking for a quick help.
More projects are waiting but I have to be realistic and slowly but constantly manage times so I can get them complete.
Best wishes and my support to your idea castleberry
lol the Inspector Gadget animated gifs ...
Cheers
I am happy you were entertained by this one! I know I was making it. GoGoGadgetUpvote has helped a lot of people. If he wins that reward he will be able to help even more... so that's cool. I appreciate your support buddy. I encourage you to just Keep Steemin on my friend! Take your time and don't rush just because of your time limits. I think you will make the most of your time! Take care Draker
WOW! its a great community related post. thanks for share
Thanks for taking time to stop by and check it out!
Agreed! Give the man the delegation <3
Thank you for the recommendation! I really hope I win!
Me too
Thank you so much for this amazing post! I am truly glad to have such amazing people following my work and supporting me in my efforts to support others! Thank you again for considering me for this awesome prize! Did you submit your link for this post in the original contest?
Yes, I did submit this link on the original post before the deadline on a separate thread than the one y'all had going. I really am thankful for you buddy and I know many others are as well. You may not realize the impact you have had on so many newbies... but it's pretty significant imho.
I do consider you a friend and I am happy to make a post if it increased your odds any! I really hope that you get more ability to keep doing what you are and have been doing! I just feel like people like you on the platform deserve a little boost from those that Can and Do encourage what you were inclined to do naturally! I am just glad I found out in time and could help the cause.
Thank you for all your support since we have met.. and I KNOW I wouldn't be were I am here on Steemit if it wasn't for your help and influence! God Bless & Keep You My Friend!
You are awesome, man! I consider you my friend as well, and I am glad that I helped encourage you so much!
I am sure you feel like a chicken with your head cut off! hahaha That is very humbling to hear and I am happy our paths crossed no matter the outcome here. You don't have to upvote this comment. I hate when I can't upvote comments because of my voting power. My goal is to get enough SP to get a slider soon! Thanks for everything Inspector! Keep us posted!
You are right...he was the first who gave a upvote and resteem my introduction post for which I am really thankful to him.. thanks @gogogadetupvote
That's awesome @zanky! It looks like you have come a long way since then. I appreciate your comments and I am thankful to him as well. I am happy to have met you because of him an that is the community aspect that makes this so awesome. You seem to have some great content on your blog and I am now following you. Steem On My Friend!
Its only been 20 days here.... but I really like the community...contents are great...and people too...this is what keeping me busy these days... by the way your sketches are great..keep sharing...
Thanks for the appreciation on my art and I welcome you to the community! I am so glad to be able to be busy here myself and feel like it's productive. That is very encouraging and so are the people. Glad you stopped by!
you recommended a well deserve candidate. May vote goes with @gogogadgetupvote for his work for the building of amazing community. He truly deserve the role model.
I couldn't agree more. I truly think it would help a lot of others as well as reward the Inspector for his willingness to take the initiative. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Being a part of this amazing community, it's my duty to vote for a most deserving person. Thanks for the nomination @castleberry
