I have had an idea running past me for the past few days, about setting up a room as a single point of contact, for all Steemians who are working fullt ime on the platform.

Why am I doing this?

More and more steemians are joining the platform and announcing that they are going to work full time on the platform. This is an amazing thing it shows what a wonderful thing steemit is. Not only is it a platform for providing great content but also for earning a living, to some people it's life changing.

The proposal.

I thought about this long and hard, I was at first thinking of setting up a discord group, for people who are now able to work full time on the platform would have a central point, where they could be in communication with each if they needed support.
It would also be a hub to share ideas regarding content, provide advice and support to those that ask for it, when writing posts, making videos, or music etc.

It can be lonely working solely which is why communication is important, for someone who is working self employed, they don't have an annual Christmas office party to go to for example.
They might also have financial issues or they may be in debt, and they do not know who to turn to and want to speak to people in confidence about it.

My proposal is to seek permission from a larger server like PAL, Peace abundance and Liberty to have a room which will be locked and be by invite only.
This will stop people being able to enter the room and just simply post a link and leave. At the same time, the room will not also be for people just to share a link and leave. Full Time Steemians will know this anyway.

The room would need to have at least two moderators, to monitor the room and make sure that the servers rules and room rules are being upheld.
This for now would be one room where we can simply chat, exchange information, then if subsequent rooms are needed or if we are growing quickly then we could then look at a server, but I don't want to just open a server for the sake of it.

I think it better to tread the water.

Does this require delegation?

Absolutely not no delegation is needed this is just a chat room, there will not be any need for any sort of bot or project. Any projects being ran will be amongst yourselves and would need to seek delegation from other sources, but this would not be connected to the chat room.

So in order for me to put forward a good enough reason I need 10 Full Time Steemians who would be prepared to back my proposal so I can submit an open post to @aggroed and present evidence that such a room would be needed.

But there are plenty of servers, where information can be exchanged wouldn't this be a bit isolated?

That is a good point also, the object of the room is not to isolate anyone but more.
for people that are working on the platform full time to talk to each other, they understand what it is like. Sometimes you can be on a platform chat and shout Hello but you get no reply.
Sometimes you don't want to talk publicly if you have tax problems, or you you need specific business advice.
I don't claim to be the know all and end all of business, this is equally as much of a leaning curve as it may be for others.

If you feel that there is a need for such a room please comment below the post, and if we get ten people to back this I will prepare a post with an open letter about this.

I cannot guarantee it will happen but its a positive move which means we are still in communication with the platform but we are able to support each other also.

Thank you for reading this.

Edit.

When considering upvoting this post I appreciate it but really I don't want upvotes I want support, you would be better to leave me a comment with your thoughts which I would appreciate more than an upvote.
