Official #Steemsilvergold Membership Post - 8th of July 2019

Hello Steem Silver Gold!

SSG Logo.jpg


I am back from vacation.


Let's get down to business.


STEEM SILVER ROUND

Voting has begun to select the 2019 Steem Silver Round. There are 14 entries to choose from this year with Steemit members @dfinney (me), @welshstacker, @edexserverus, @themanwithnoname, @thedamus, @knowledgeseeker, @jorundon, @fat-elvis and @silverstackeruk all contributing one or more options. To vote, please visit @raybrockman's post HERE. You may vote for multiple designs.


MEMBERSHIP

SSG membership is a bit of a hot ticket issue at the moment. Several people have chatted to me offline about possibly culling our member list. @welshstacker also made a post asking the community's opinion on the issue a couple weeks ago.

I think there are several ways to do this IF this is the path we pursue. A start (that seems simple to me) is removing members who have not been active on Steemit in six or more months. My definition of inactive is no posts or comments in six or more months from the member's account. If we choose to deactivate these memberships or if we choose to move them to an inactive list, these are the individuals who would currently be affected:

FYI - This table has three columns. Your phone or tablet might only show the first two columns unless you switch to a landscape orientation.

There are folks on this list who haven't posted in two years. This is in no way meant to say these people aren't valued. However, if you are gone from Steemit it is hard to be a member of a silver and gold stacking community on Steemit. To add to this, if you are a current member and you have given up on Steemit, or lost interest in the group, please reach out to me here or on discord to remove yourself from the membership list. Our interests often shift or change over time. If stacking is no longer one of your interests please let us know.

SSG members, please comment with your thoughts.

Help the community, help yourself!

There are TWO ways to get a community supported votes here at Steem Silver Gold. One is via the @myprecious curation trail, the other is via the @ssg-community subscription bot (which is also confusingly referred to as Precious the Silver Mermaid). Here is a run down of each for our new members and a refresher for the vets.

  1. Join the Steem Silver Gold curation trail - HERE

The community curation trail upvotes every member of Steem Silver Gold (unless a member requests otherwise). 23 accounts currently follow the trail. You will see the @myprecious vote appear on one of your posts each day after 14 minutes. 23 other votes are tied to that one! Thank you to everyone on the trail!

![votetrail 1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVsXFXDjUpYxe1GTkj4ZqYMDU5WphKhU8WXZAim53mVoj/votetrail%201.jpg) ![vote trail 2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ58kG3LisypU7tCKZUbhK5VNDHacsyWVZvyri5gX7BoU/vote%20trail%202.jpg)

Members may also choose to delegate to @myprecious. There is no membership requirement to delegate, but it is a selfless way to support the entire community. There are currently 14 delegators to this account. @enginewitty is the most recent delegator. Other delegators include @bauloewe, @ronaldoavelino, @tbnfl4sun, @dkid14, @silverstackeruk, @handofzara, @edthecanadian, @fat-elvis, @dfinney, @thesilverdoll, @jznsamuel, @guiltyparties and @xyzashu. Thank you from all of us.

Join our members only upvoting bot (aka Precious) - HERE

Precious the Silver Mermaid upvoting bot (linked to the @ssg-community account) is open to all members of the #steemsilvergold community. She has well over 100k in voting SP and members can receive daily upvotes by either delegating SP are donating STEEM on a monthly basis.

If you have the funds, the ROI on our community bot is excellent.

If you have questions about the @ssg-community subscription bot (aka Precious the Silver Mermaid), please reach out to @welshstacker. He can advise you on how to delegate, pay liquid steem or use a combination of the two to reach a subscription tier.


Have a lovely week dear silver and gold stackers!

  • @dwingsworld(59)· 2607d

    No reason not to remove those that have been inactive for 6 months as they can always return.

    As for those not doing any Metals post we can institute a 4 metals post monthly requirement. Thats literally 1 post a week in a month. The rest can be whatever under ssglife. I think this is more than reasonable. Give a two week window to get the word out and then start the closck with firm start times lile the begininning of August. Thanks for sharing!

  • @vgholdingsllc(68)· 2609d

    Let the culling begin!!!

  • @silversaver888(81)· 2609d

    Hey @dfinney! Thanks for the update. I have delegated to ssg-community when I became a member. I am now following the curation trail: So, I don't know if I have much, but how much SP is recommended to delegate to @myprecious?

  • @silverd510(79)· 2610d

    They need to go. There are way more then that, but it’s a start. There’s more than 40 others that haven’t posted about anything related to our community in 6 months or more. I just unfollowed that many after getting angry that they never post about anything related to our great community. They all need to stop milking our precious if they are gonna be a part of the community. While i get that it’s not easy posting about metals or crypto ever day. But atleast 50% of the time should be a minimum to stay active. Just my thought but I’m sure I’m not alone on this.

  • @plaid(63)· 2610d

    I don't see a problem with culling or moving members that have been inactive for 6 months to an inactive list. It's not like they can't come back, right?This would be a step in the right direction as far as keeping the current membership list updated and current.

    However, as you know it doesn't touch on the main issue that @welshstacker was bringing up... and that is to prevent abuse of the community bot. His idea was to remove members that ARE active BUT not posting, "enough" about precious metals.

    For that issue, I think we'll need some kind of rule with specifics about how often a precious metals post is necessary as well as some kind of cull or enforcement necessary to accomplish that goal. I mentioned on @welshstacker's post that I might be in favor of this but would want to hear specifics on how it would work... (How often must one post? How many days can pass? Is quality an issue? Can someone just post a pic of a silver object and tag steemsilvergold?) It's tricky to make a rule like this that is fair, but I do think we should explore the topic.

    I'd be interested to hear what others come up with to make such a rule work in a fair way!

  • @enginewitty(78)· 2610d

    I remember several of those names. Perhaps instead of dropping them completely, since (most likely) their delegations still remain, can put them on an inactive roster. Would be hurtful for them if they got removed and came back to see they weren't being loved on with their memberships technically in tact. Just a thought. One of the qualifications in #thealliance is to remain active. This is accomplished in various ways, like the trail and delegations. Part of the package now as we used to just go by posting consistency.

  • @kerrislravenhill(74)· 2610d

    Thinking of Delegating now that I'm 500+sp. Darn, what am I thinking of! My desktop monitor should be in the Landscape position, so much easier to read. Excuse me while I fix this.

  • @shaungerow(66)· 2610d

    I would have figured more people would have been inactive than that, but I suppose that means we must be doing something right!

  • @handofzara(70)· 2610d

    Looks to me as if most of the inactive members have left Steemit.

  • @monsterjamgold(68)· 2610d

    Being inactive for more than 6 months probably means you have lost interest but it does not cost any voting power, but what does cost voting power is members who join and then never post about precious metals again but use it as any other voting bot.

    I used to be a fan of curation trails but it was something someone said about votes going to things they do not agree and it draining my own vp has put me off but for precious i will make a compromise and delegate 50sp anyway.

  • @senstless(74)· 2610d

    A few names surprised me, but then again they might still be following the voting trail, or something. But it's fewer names than I was expecting.
