Since my return to the Steemit platform I have been actively involved in the platform by;
- Writing articles
- Reading and supporting of fellow Steemians posts
- Curating and advising
I must have read way over 1,000 articles during the last 4 months. I have seen and read some good quality article and I’ve often wondered how many of these articles are actually being read.
Of particular interest to me are those articles who can help other Steemians.
| Author | Article | Link |
|---|---|---|
| @disconnect | Alerts to drastic changes in the blockchain markets | Article link |
| @fredquantum | Alerts on award changes | Article link |
| @cryptogecko | Tips & Guidelines | Article link |
| @ubongudofot | Feedback from curators | Article link |
My suggestions therefor for a new project would be to add a “Notice board or Bulletin board” to Steemit where these kind of articles can be pinned for all to see.
What is a notice board?
Notice – It is information which needs the attention of many
Board - A place where the notices or information can be posted
What is a bulletin board?
Bulletin – It is a short report or information of what is happening
Board - A place where the notices or information can be posted
Whatever you want to call it a notice board, a bulletin board, a pin board it doesn’t matter.
Of importance is that they are there to post public messages and is what I am looking for and I am not referring to a notice board for a specific community but a notice board in general where it is visible to everybody.
The history behind notice or bulletin boards
| The Year | The Story |
|---|---|
| 1801 – | The first black board was used |
| 1801 – | The first black board was used |
| 1925 – | The first cork board for pinned messages |
| 1976 – | In-corporate in the information age – first public dial up board |
| 2010 – | Pinterest was launched as a personal bulletin board |
| 2022 – | Steemit introduced a notice board? |
Why a notice or bulletin board
- With the ever changes in the IT world new ideas will emerged all the time. This is an effective way to display important messages
- The scope of users can for sure be extended
- Valuable information will not get lost in the system
- Valuable information will be available immediately
- The standard of communication will be improved
- Recognition to great articles
- The data can be used for analytics purposes
There are various factors which should be kept in mind when the notice board is designed;
- It must be visually appealing
- It must be well organized
- It must be accessible and
- It must be easy to engage with
I am not a developer and I also don’t know the infrastructure of Steemit therefor it is best for me to leave the possibilities for implementation to them.
This is then also how it works in our business. My husband is a developer and I am an operator. I tell him what I want and it is up to him to make it work. So developers, this one is for you. :-)
For my own curiosity I had a look at what is currently available just to get the look and feel;

In conclusion:
I do believe that there is reason to brainstorm this idea further. By adding a notice board or bulletin board Steemian can only benefit from it as long as notices will be immediately available, in the correct categories and includes an archive for historical posts.
The only real challenges for me are the implementation and the management thereof.
I hope that I have planted a seed or two...

It's a creative idea, I like it. But to maintain this would be a tough job as there are many people posting and creating quality content.
The steemit usually pinned the important posts but just for the brainstorming, I'm telling that we can also make a drop-down options of different categories of posts.
Like learn with steem, tutorials, recipes, technology, cryptocurrencies, steemit related posts, contest etc even the expired posts in it because through tags the expired post vanishes.
Thank you for taking part and penning down a creative idea. Best of luck 👍

A bulletin board is an interesting suggestion.
We see only the latest announcements by @steemitblog in the above Announcement section. If not a proper bulletin board, all-important posts could be categorized and added in the Useful Links section.

"bullsh*t baffles bulletin board brain"? 🤪
Adding links into that left-hand section from a coding point of view should be easy. The Steemit developers will be able to update it very easily (as they have done with the "Steemit Engagement Challenge - Season 1 - Week 4" update).
The difficulty is deciding what's "important". And how long it's important for. I don't know if it's just me - the "Newcomers Guide" must have so many comments now that the page crashes my browser so never loads.
I've thought for a little while that a consolidated list of links ranging from how to sign up, how to invest, etc. is essential if we want to onboard new users and grow the platform. All I can think of are difficulties - different exchanges in different countries, etc. and languages... all possible to overcome but a huge effort and a lot of dedication will be required to achieve it. In my research some time ago, I found a Chinese user who'd written a huge database of guides for Steemit (in Chinese)... it took some time for me to find the link but here it is - https://bookdown.org/baydap/steemh/aacontributors.html
Something like this is probably required 🙂

To start, you put a smile on my face. I don’t think we will, for years to come, forget the bullsh*t thing 😊
In answer to your reply. I’m so glad that you had to search for the Chinese post as that is exactly my point, posts gets lost.
Secondly should it be able to do getting something goiing would it not be possible to blog users to reply on these posts? Afterall they are informative posts. That will stop the problem of too many replies.
Lastly, the biggest problem problem I can see is the selection. Would it not be able to write a crawler to preselect posts? From there it can go over to a curation team.
Sorry for all the questions. I must be female after all 😊

We'll always have Bullsh*t Baffles Brain. The 3 B's. Which perhaps amusingly, was the name of the first pub that I regularly drank in 🙂
I must also have not thought that it was important enough to bookmark 😉
I have seen something in the API which suggests that you can turn off comments to your post so that people can't reply. I've never seen it in action to know whether it's possible or not though.
One thing that's just dawned on me in thinking about this is why there isn't more "brochureware". There's an FAQs page hidden away in the top right... oh... and a "Welcome" page. I've never noticed that before.
Perhaps this should be the next big contest. Create an index of what would be useful, and get the community to write it so that it's then copied into a load of brochureware to create the 5 B's.

It will be a great thing if it is done. But what if such posts becomes too many, will they all be included? The hashtags are already great but the steemit team will then determine which to include in the useful links section when the links becomes too much. The reason is because ones it is approved that useful links can be added to a second, almost every user will like to produce something like that. But lest see what others think

It will be wonderful if everyone will want to write these kind of articles. Just imagine how the performance and quality of posts will improve 😊 We will all be learning.
You have a great point in where do you stop if the links are getting too many. Maybe a rating system like the crypto guys are doing? Top 10 posts then get listed.
The last thing I want to do is to create extra work but if I xan help others in a positive manner I will raise my hand and say I will help.

Hello @patjewell, you have brought up a good idea that should be considered. Yes there are very important post that may not be seen easily. Having a bullet board is a good way to go. It would really improve they way necessary articles should be viewed by the general users.

Hola @patjewell
Realmente creo que se deben perder muchos buenos post, por múltiples razones.
Haces un planteamiento importante para solucionar un gran problema.
Lo otro es que es evidente que si no son leídos, no son curados en gran medida, así que es una pérdida doble, porque nadie los lee ni los vota. lamentable esto

Unfortunately the learwithsteem tag is open for so many topics.
I would love to see items which alert us of happenings and which will help us to grow personally with Steem and Steemit at a glance.
For instance those YouTube educational videos you’ve made for the Africa SteemWomenClub.
I would love for more Steemians to see them and not just for the group.
Just my two cents 😊

Quite a thoughtful suggestion I must say. Its an incredible idea in my perspective. There are a lot of posts which gets missed and loads of users suffer because of it. Creating a quality content by investing your efforts and time and in the end not getting noticed is something so demotivating for user itself. This discourages the user to work harder. While, Steemit is a platform which requires hard work. Making a quality content and at the same time interacting on others' content is not a peice of cake. Hard earned money, it is.
Your idea is brilliant. I hope ST would look upto it put this suggestion into an action. It will be a huge advancement and super convenient for all of us.

I have also seen so many posts where the authors don't qualify for votes and they just need a bit of advice on what to do. Hopefully by displaying good and educational posts on a bulletin board will help others.
