RE: A New Scot Tribe On Steem! SteemAce.io For Gaming Content | Over 100k SP, 7.5k PAL And 120 Splinterlands Beta Booster To Reward Great Content and GG Stakers
Congratulations on launching your community, and thanks for the airdrop!
Although it is a bit disconcerting that so many new communities are choosing to use staked PAL as a metric for an airdrop. Belief in PAL doesn't necessarily equate to you potentially being a good user to stake into a completely different new community.
You may have issues with PAL that cause you to decide to sell the PAL. Or you could have sold it before you even really understood what it was. You could have also just never staked it, because you haven't really checked out PAL yet. Or you could just dislike the fact that it's a general community and to post in it you have to sacrifice a keyword for something that's not really related to the subject of the article.
In the same vein, you could have just decided to buy a bunch of PAL just so you can profit from that new community, possibly even in one of the minor price drops.
Or you could just not be a true believer in PAL. Maybe you have your PAL on the market to sell at a spike.
Point is that there are a ton of reasons. Glad you at least have some extra plans for an airdrop that take more into account than PAL though.
Decided to stake my GG and put in an order for a bit more. Might add some extra buy orders in lower.
If you were to design a community and have an airdrop, how would YOU do it?
Spider based on tags for maybe the last 6 months, taking powered up Steem and other coins in as a factor maybe? Maybe consider comments and the likelihood of them getting a reply and upvote from the author and random users. It depends on the platform. If it was a trading platform, I might have to actually consider various times in their wallet history when they transferred money to an exchange, then later transferred money back. I guess the best metric would probably be interaction with the community based on tags. So, if it was trading, I would check trading related tags, who commented how much, how likely they were to get a reply, how likely they were to get an upvote on that reply from the OP and for how much, and how likely they were to get a random upvote, weighting it against repeated upvotes to attempt to avoid bots.
