Weekly Report as Steem Representative, December 5th to December 11th, 2024

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from India,

This week was certainly different from the last weeks so far because I was more busy offline than online. If I wrote fewer posts than ever before there was a reason, it was marriage season and I attended 4 of them during the last 5 days. The people who know Indian marriages know these are lengthy and with too many ceremonies.

There were several highs and lows moments this week for instance I scored a zero on this post which I thought was a masterpiece:

SLC S21W6/Family Picnic

However, another learning contest compensated for some of my disappointment though:

SLC | S21W6 | Costs for entrepreneurs - Cost structure

The boom in the crypto market made me spend a lot of my time on the crypto wallets, but the anticlimax, especially the way Steem crashed, decreased my worth to two-thirds, but that's cryptocurrency for you. The ending is a result of my participation in too few contests. It was not that I was not writing on Steemit, but the fact that I was busy offline with my director projects, marriages, and the crypto market slowed me down for sure.

I was not online as much as I wanted to be but I did at least one post a day and that includepower-upr up post.

HWC Contest #101

I spent time participating in a couple of "learning contests" and did at par. I had started a contest in Traveling Steem but did not get the expected result but will continue with the idea in the last week of this month, enjoying the joy of giving of Christmas and New Year. I am not happy with the outcome of this contest, but I will give it another try.

Spread the Joy: Contest Result Gift Exchange Contest for Christmas and New Year! 🎄✨

I hope it works well next time around, and our members enjoy the holiday season, as it’s time to embrace the spirit of giving and celebrating the joy of giving, receiving, friendship, and adding up to the festive mood.

I see everything is normal apart from a few suggestions to my friends, especially in diary posts, as a moderator, because some of those posts do not qualify for diary posts, but as a moderator, I can do nothing, not even tell them they use the same words and phrases in all their posts, and all of them sound so similar.

As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

As always, I spent time with a couple of newbies on their or my posts. I feel like more and more newbies are getting in touch with me, and that's heartwarming when they are among them as they approach me.

My Newbie Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in my different posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies because my "Newbie Support Program is working well, and I feel good when I see newbies feel motivated and respond happily through their comments.

My selected users

3### As a routine, I selected the first "newbie," the first beneficiary of the week, @mojociocio

I selected for this post:

My introduction post

Here is my post,

HWC Contest #101

I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on his post, and he responded.

My second newbie beneficiary is @ahsansharif

Her post

ACHIEVEMENT 1: INTRODUCTORY POST | MENTORSHIP BY @ahsansharif

Here is my post:

Rambo, The Gorilla

A message on that post, whom I have set as beneficiaries in this post:

His response:

I completed my weekly duty as moderator, which took a lot of my time but had too few travel posts, but mostly diary posts. However, five or six posts from travelers posting their travel experiences compensated for my time and efforts.

Again, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to support them in spreading awareness and pacifying them in case anyone has a problem.

My power-ups and reward summary

Once again, I am proud to announce that as SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but as I have mentioned time and again, I feel SRs should have more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians. I am sure the Steem Team will see a point in my suggestion.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

These are my regular posts,

Despite all the shortcomings, I have posted at least one every day and kept my club status at 100%. I must admit that I can see too few 'learning contests' this week, but I will try to post in the current season however, most of these challenge contests seem out of my reach so my participation is going to be for the sake of participation only.

Let me announce once again, I supported as many newbies as I could through various methods, including setting them as a beneficiary in my posts every week, which helps them stay positive. I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity of moderator and Steem Representative.

In the end, I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks all; have a nice time ahead.

Yours Sincerely
