I need to make this clear now!

in steem •  27 days ago 


If you think it is smart to promote a specific witness in all of your posts, let me now tell you that it is not! Authors who add a promo link in all of their posts for one specific witness will not receive my vote at all or will receive just a small vote from now on. Interestingly, it is always the same witness that "needs to be" promoted. Authors are being told to vote for that one witness by community moderators and they think their rewards will grow through this. No, it wont't. The opposite is true actually.

Anyway, I just needed to get this out, because it bugs me big time!

I was once asked/felt like forced to vote for a witness and that was one of the few times I felt very uncomfortable on this blockchain, I hope it never happens again. I think it is very important to raise such questions (the subject of your post) to avoid such situations.

Thanks for such clarification, I once asked same question on why we only promote one or two witnesses but no tangible answer was given to me. But this is indeed very important for all.

This is very important information for all Steemians and it is difficult for most people to express because they are afraid of losing support but today the truth has been seen with the blessing of @steemchiller voice and we only understand it at this time and I see many good writers who do not get support, hopefully with this notice Steemit will be better and wiser in the future

Thank you very much Mr. @steemchiller for the information l

You have said it all.
I saw most of my african users promote specific witness and when I asked them why, they gave me no tangible response and this is misleading because even newbies now thinks it is a criteria to succeed on steemit.

Witness vote should be by choice not by force and it shouldn't be monopolized too.
Thanks for bringing it up @steemchiller.
I hope people make changes accordingly and do the right thing.

While curating, I see this daily in lots of different places. I think the overall focus should be on teaching these communities to vote, period. Some may have issues knowing how to vote for all 30; in that case, those communities/individuals should tell their followers to use the proxy option and then give that person's name in the process. Helping one witness singly doesn't help the entire ecosystem.

I strongly agree with you that it is not a good thing while promoting just one witness in the moderation comments and in the posts. I have never done it to place the link of the witness in my post.

But it is necessary to reach all the steemians how they can vote for the witnesses and why they should do it. I have noticed many people do not know who are the witnesses and what they do and why they should vote for them.

For this purpose there should be a proper tutorial explaining it what are the witnesses and how they contribute to the ecosystem and how the users can vote the witnesses.

In some contests and communities I have seen there is the requirement to vote for the witnesses to participate in the contest. It is a one kind of forcing the users to vote a specific witness.

As soon as I get time I will write about it to shed light on the witnesses and witness votes.

Wow , that's really motivational initiative for the Steemians who are posting couple of posts in a day or a week but couldn't get satisfied rewards. Your kind support is really meant and valuable for all. Thank you @steemchiller for your valuable concerns for dedicated and hardworking Steemians. Hopefully Steemit itself support all the newbies and old hardworking to work with confidence and satisfaction.

Yes you are right the mods think that they will get better reward while mentioning the same witness each time in their posts and in the moderation comments. I am not sure why some people are doing it constantly even the high personalities with great experience and reputation. I welcome your decision and I am sure it will be changed and people just guide the steemians and they will be able to cast their witness votes according to their choice and to improve the development of the platform.

Authors are being told to vote for that one witness by community moderators and they think their rewards will grow

Well said 👍🏻

Das was Du hier beschreibst geht einem auf den Sack wie andere Dinge auch die man gleich oder leicht abgeändert unter zisch Post findet
, die Möglichkeit einen Proxy zu setzen ist doch wunderbar einen den man für geeignet hält wird man wohl finden , oder nur zwei drei Stimmen abgeben , aber wenn was extrem beworben wird werde ich erst mal stutzig, mein Geschmack ist das nicht
Nice day SChiller !
VgA😉

I tried to vote for some Steem witness since I read about them and got some explanations about them from my mentor. I will vote for more.

Thank you for the information.

I have tried to vote for witnesses in steemworld, which I thank you for and it would not accept my private key. But even so, keep up the good work as love that steemworld

You can vote directly in steemit.com...:

Thanks! You're a good person to know. First you tell me about steemworld.org and now this! There was something before steemworld.org but it disappeared or barely works. Thanks again.

I guess you've used your active key for signing in? If you first sign in with your posting key, you should be able to vote witnesses on SteemWorld.

Okay

@steemchiller, you are the best witness on Steemit and have done a lot for this platform!

I think you take a good decision, Good luck.

You are my Well-wisher

I would like to ask, is it inappropriate for us to add voting instructions for our witnesses in community contest posts?




(Published through Steemit Dapp https://boylikegirl.club)

As long as it is no requirement and you don't tell authors to include the instructions for voting you in their own posts, there is nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

For now, I have only voted for three witnesses on the Steem blockchain, and I was wondering if you could recommend some others (and if so, why you recommend them). 🌸

Given your position as the Top 1, it might be a good idea to make a post about it: "Do you know these witnesses and their involvement in Steem?"

I am proud that you are the best figure on the Steemit platform, I have to learn a lot from you, maybe I am also sad because I still have many shortcomings in terms of finances, especially since I am currently in college, thank you @steemchiller

I do not add to my posts any links promoting a witness at all - the posts go unnoticed most of the time. Should I add links, then? (fainted smile...)

PS.

I just needed to get this out, because it bugs me big time!

...at least, this means -> somebody reads all those posts.

GOod One

😌

What a precious news for everyone to understand and always support Steemit's witness Steemit's efforts will always be eternal forever

Actually, this problem is something that I have wanted to convey in my heart for a long time. But because I didn't want to offend anyone, I never revealed it.
I myself have never promoted any of the witnesses. And always encourage my friends not to do that.

Actually this is very important information, thank you very much Mr @steemchiller for this very important information, you are the best figure on the steemit platform I am proud of you, success is always for you sir.

regards

This will be a valuable experience for all steemians to not promote witnesses, maybe it will be a good start after they read this post.

Informasi yang sangat berguna terutama untuk saya yang sangat dan masih berhati-hati dalam membuat postingan agar banyak yang mendukung. Terimakasih @steemchiller

This is an interesting post from steemchiller that you might have missed.

Hopefully we can all understand and ensure that things like this don't happen again

Thank you for this very valuable news Mr. @steemchiller, perhaps it will be the duty of every moderator and admin of a community to alert their members. We recognize that you are one of the best witnesses of today, how much use is being made of steemworld every day. Stay the best until later.

Thank you for clear it sir.

Well noted @steemchiller, and it is indeed not proper to do that way there is no need to promote a single witness because steemian knows how to vote for a witness and which witnesses they want to vote for.

brother u have taken a very good decision.Thanks as you have done a lot of things for this platform.I am thanking u from the inner core of my heart.stay blessed and happy

It will be a great idea to make make @steemchiller my withness because you have done a lot for this great platform steemit and also you have keep a great steps

Thanks for cleaning the spam in here: https://steemit.com/trending/hive-130673 , they moved to https://steemit.com/trending/hive-183959, where I did bring some flaggs via boomerang. It is tricky, at it seems they hide behind the new community

I appreciate your this decision it was much needed to clarify the things. Because sometimes people promote those witnesses on each post who do not even deserve.

Хороший пост! Я даже не знала об этом. Жаль, служба новостей @pennsif не пишет о подобных уловках.

Good post! I didn't even know about it. It's a pity the @pennsif news service doesn't write about such tricks.

Wenn Du daraus einen eigenen Beitrag machst, dann muss es wirklich unter den Nägeln brennen.

Ich weiss zwar nicht um welchen Wittness es geht, aber sei´s drum

Die Betreffenden werden sicherlich wissen wer gemeint ist.

Weiterhin gutes Gelingen.

Thank you for coming out to make this clarification. I believe a lot of people really need to see this. Sometimes I always see it as people been forced to vote on witnesses that is not really coming from their heart. It should come from their heart

Thanks for your valuable information and make it clear fo r everyone..

Regards

Thank you so much for this clarification. I saw some users promoting the witnesses in their posts and review comments. I followed a few witnesses but I didn't get that much support from them. I think we need to support those only who are supporting us in our growth. Can I ask a question how we can get support from you? Because I got once or twice upvote from in my 3.5 year journey.

You already gets enough support or not?

Exactly! There are great authors that create 7 posts a week and not even earn $10! Thank you for this, miss!

Can I ask a question how we can get support from you?

I run a bit of a different logic than most people on Steem probably. Authors, who already receive good support from the community, will in most cases not see many votes coming in from me. That is, because we as a whole rise by lifting others that are in need, not by us all voting always the same already highly supported guys. Additionally, I watch who an author supports with his/her own votes. If he/she only supports elite people that are already high up there, I won't support them.

Oh thank you for clarification. Sure I will also follow this while supporting users.

I think this is very important information. You have shown yourself to be a very good person. You always pay attention to users who lack support.
I see very few people on this platform who have a sense of empathy for smaller users. Thank you very much, sir 👍

Hey! Really sorry for the offtopic but has anyone reported a small issue with the drop down not dropping under the Brave browser at steemworld.org?

I was trying to filter and see only my outcoming votes in this scenario.

I tried switching Brave Shields off and on, this doesn't help.

Actually, as Brave is based on Chromium, I just checked this under Chrome v.130, it doesn't drop there either.

Thanks in advance!

[edit] I just tested it under Firefox - it drops there but under Edge it doesn't.

Hi, I know that @xpilar has had the same issue recently and it seems to be related to a Windows system/update problem. Are you running Windows too?

I thinks it isn't Microsoft to blame here, for a change, lol.
It's rather Google to blame.
I tested it on Windows 11, then on Windows 10 and then I did the same test on my mobile device that runs Android 12 with Brave browser app. It behaves all the same ;)

Looks like a client-side script issue?

Please reload the page and tell me if it works now ;)

Just CTRL+F5-ed it, it works!
That was quite quick, thanks so much!

Thanks, we will take care of that! I shared the link in our witness channel. For now, I need to recharge a bit...

  ·  20 days ago 

Funny picture. I wish you a speedy recharge. =)

Terimakasih sudah memeneritahukannya, untuk itu kita harus memilih saksi yang mana saja, bisa di beritahukan.. karena saya juga bingung dalam memilih ini.

Hey! Ich klopfe hier einfach mal. Ich hoffe, es ist ok, dass es nicht zum Thema passt. Habe gerade gesehen, dass du bei meinem sumsum Account gevotet hast, vielen Dank!

Leider habe ich für meine alten Accounts nur die Posting Keys. Mit Hilfe von Moeki, über eine Seite, die du gebaut hast, konnte ich einen neuen Account starten.

Danke für deine Mühe und dein Engagement auf dem Steem.
