It is Thursday now and I need you again to suggest me some great new writers who need some support!

Scorum Patronage is going into its fourth round and after a little drawback in the last week I am hoping for lots of nominations of many creative writers.

To encourage everybody to join this week’s nomination round, I will give out a 100% upvote on the comment which nominates this round’s “winner” FIRST!

Plus there will be upvotes for those comments which explain why a nominee will be a great choice and why he/she needs my assistance.

As I did in the last weeks, 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 and some comments. The idea behind Scorum Patronage is bringing some light into their blogs and motivate them to continue writing interesting blog posts. But even the nomination of one or the other might be already enough to motivate them to write more wonderful articles about the fascinating world of sport and not to give up in the beginning.

Starting here on Scorum can be difficult, I am still experiencing quite some challenging days myself. 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 visiting @kristyyd's blog, one of our new Scorum women. I am glad the community chose one of our great female writers, since this platform really needs some glamour too. I am also planning on telling you about her work in a extra post later on, as I did just recently about the other beneficiaries before:

Nominations for the 4th round:

Let me start the fourth 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 pick 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:

  • As I wrote before, the comment which nominates this round’s pick FIRST, will get a 100% upvote from me. I am also planning on upvoting comments, which tell me why you are thinking that particular user deserves being supported by me.

  • 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.


Scorum Patronage goes Discord

No you can also find Scorum Patronage at Discord were I am running some channels on the "I am Scorum"-server hosted by the one and only @rougebot. You will see recent announcements and nominations and you will have a chance to discuss any questions and suggestions.

Please follow this link: https://discord.gg/duxG8jA If you haven't checked out this place yet, please come over and say hello to everyone.

There will also be a place, to talk about the recent nominations and to promote each other.

The idea behind Scorum Patronage is to encourage everybody to become more engaging and start interacting even with other users, especially the ones who have just joined our wonderful platform. We all need to help building some strong and genuine community, were people start look behind their own horizon and start thinking long-term.

What do we need to create a successful platform?
That is the big question and many of us are already working on different ideas and initiatives to bring Scorum up to the next level. We are still in the beginning and there is still lots of space for everyone to join and to be creative.

Me too, I am still thinking how to improve the Scorum Patronage initiative to make it more effective and engaging. This week I am hoping for a lot of interesting nominations of users who haven’t been in the spotlight yet but who really deserve some more attention.

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

Catch you guys soon...

Love and Respect !
