It is the time of the week again that I am going to ask for your help and to suggest me some great new writers who need some support!

But first let me thank you for the nice feedback I received after the last round and cheers to everyone who had joined and thought about some other users who might need our assistance.

In the coming week too, I will accompany the candidate with the most nominations for seven days and try to encourage him/her with my upvotes. Hopefully this will bring some exposure to their blogs and motivate them to continue writing quality articles and comments. And who knows, even the nomination of one or the other could be enough to motivate them to write more wonderful articles her on Scorum and not to give up in the beginning.

Starting here on Scorum can be difficult, I am still experiencing this kind of feeling all the time too. But nothing comes from nowhere! We should always keep that in mind and work on improving your articles. That's how I do it.

As written before this week I' m assisting the user @oxygen2, whose blog I am now checking out every day. And I am planning on telling you about his work in a extra post later on, as I did just recently about the first beneficiary:

Scorum Patronage introduces @fraste:

Nominations for the 2nd round:

Let me start the third round of my Scorum Patronage. Like last time I want you to suggest Scorum users who deserve a little boost. In particular, I am thinking of new members of our community who may not have received so much attention with their work.

Those members should have less than 300 SP powered up and if possible have joined us in the last few weeks.

Therefore I need you guys again so I will repeat my call from last week:

Which user here at Scorum deserves a little attention and should be supported by me for a week?

All you have to do is to write the name of the user in my comment section until Sunday.

I will then chose the candidate with the most nominations and accompany him/her for one week. If there is no leader in the nominations, I will select the one who has less SP in his or her wallet.

The blog of the user chosen by the community will be visited daily by me in the coming week and I will upvote one article per day with 100% . Hopefully this will generate some more attention and other users will start reading those articles too.

After the end of the Patronage Week, I would like to introduce the respective blogger to the community in a separate article and report about his or her work.

A few more things:

  • To avoid that those articles only consist of a few pictures and link but no substantial content I explicitly reserve the right to reduce the value of my upvote. I want to encourage everyone to stick to level of quality which we all want to see here at Scorum.

    And I  also need the articles to be writing in a language I can understand, this will be in English or if you are really cool also in German or in Japanese. Unfortunately other languages can't be considered.
  • Since the question came up last time: YES, you can also vote for the same user as someone before you. As one nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end. And please don't nominate yourself!
  • I would be great to see the names of writers whose post don't usually get much attention and aren't visited so much. I know there are many outside who really try to bring something to Scorum but who aren't so successful yet. After starting it can be challenging and it might not feel very encouraging, when our post seem to be lost in the big Scorum nirvana.

I hope my little initiative can be of some help for everybody involved. Building a close and genuine community here on Scorum will be an important step on our way to success.

Recently I have noticed quite some attempts to just squeeze out any possible coin without actually contributing anything valuable. Do we really want to go this way?
Than we might be on the same road as some similar projects who are now experiencing major problems.

I rather want to integrate everyone as much as possible to build a stable foundation for the future. I believe Scorum could be a long-term project therefor we should not only think about ourselves.

That's why again I hope for a lot of interesting nominations which might help to bring some of the newer writers here to shine.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions, please hook me up in the comments.

Catch you guys soon...

Love and Respect !
