RE: Community Engagement Post - What do you expect from your witnesses?
A few specific items:
- Witnesses should issue weekly updates
- Witnesses should sponsor a weekly "development feedback" thread - This is hard because we know that witnesses are not developers, and are not a unified block, but an effort to get together and discuss the business of development on Steemit (NOT steem.chat or Discord)would be a sign a witness was serious about advancing the patform
- Likewise, a "marketing coordination" thread led/organized by witnesses would be useful; of course that is subject to the same weaknesses as above.
- Ditto for spam control, plagiarism, and child abuse issues.
- A witness should make his voice heard in flagging wars towards mediating a peace, especially when those flagging wars affect minnows
- Winesses should upvote every post or comment I make at 100%, and resteem every thing I do...YMMV on this point ;>
I think weekly is a bit too frequent, but I agree that they should definitely be regular.
Regarding witness involvement in spam control, plagiarism, child abuse, etc. and regarding mediation (re: your flagging war point) I think esteemed (eh? ;) ) people of the community can do this. It can be the case that witnesses do this but should not be required of them. To be honest I think the larger stakeholders have more of a responsibility here.
While I don't think much changes week by week, especially on the node reports, the nature of Steemit and that almost immediate drop from attention of most posts after the first day is why I would suggest a weekly post(which really could be a cut and paste when things haven't changed).
I feel witness should bring different things to the table and be more focused on whatever their niche is then trying to cash a very wide net.
While I would agree I want to see some kind of update or least them being active here weekly.
What would be cool is if ones that had similar things they bring to Steemit would get to gather and create a collective blog from time to time more on a month scale. That invites in community engagement where there are several witness their thought the day to interact with it till it closes.
I’m not sure how much working together if any happens behind the scenes.
As far as the disturbing illegal things going on this site I can only hope Steemit Inc. is working on dealing with that more. Just flagging it is not enough when it comes to certain things even more so if their servers are storing it. I don't know if witness have a more direct commutations line to devs to deal with things like that faster or not.
