Scorum Patronage WEEK 11 : Open for your nomimations! ( + extra 100% Upvote to win!)

Happy Friday everyone!

Another week is coming to an end and this can only mean that it is time for another Scorum Patronage nomination round. I am running a little late again but we still have enough time to chose the next beneficiary, who I then will assist during the coming week.

That's why I need your help again, to suggest and nominate some interesting and promising writers, who in your eyes could need some little boost and deserve some more attention.

On Sunday I will then choose this round's winner and from then it will be my job to visit the chosen writer's profile for a whole week to check out and support his or her articles with my upvotes.

To motivate everybody to join I will again give a full upvote to the comment who nominates this round's winner first. I addition I will also throw in some more votes for those comments which explain why a certain nominee will be a great choice and why he/she needs my assistance. I hope this will finally lure more of you into joining the nomination round.

The idea behind Scorum Patronage is as usual, bringing some attention to some newer writers or to some Scorum bloggers who aren't so successful yet. Through my assistance I want to motivate everybody to continue contributing interesting blog posts. I also hope that just by being nominated the one or the other already feels encouraged to write more wonderful articles about the fascinating world of sport and not to give up in the beginning.

This week I am assisting @larry-jazz, another Scorum member, whose profile I am now checking out on a daily basis but so far he hasn't posted anything new this week. I hope there is still something coming until his turn ends on Sunday.

Nominations for WEEK 11:

Let's start the eleventh round of Scorum Patronage in 2019. The question I usually ask is pretty easy and straightforward:

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

I want you to suggest Scorum users who need a little boost. I am not only thinking of new members of our community but also of writers who have been around for a while and who are still struggling getting attention with their work.

I don't care about the size of the Scorum wallet, but let's rather have a look on everybody's usual post rewards. To be eligible for winning a week of Scorum Patronage support the average post reward of the last 10 articles shouldn't be higher than 15 SCR. I am not going to be to strict about this figure, but please consider that the idea behind Scorum Patronage is to support users who don't usually get a high reward for their articles.

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 by me daily in the coming week and I will upvote one article per day with 50% to 100% of my voting power, according to length and quality of the post. 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

• You can nominate every writer who doesn't usually get a high post reward. As written above let's consider users who's last 10 articles get an average of not more than 15 SCR. And to motivate everyone to join the nomination round I am planning on upvoting comments, which tell me why you are thinking that a particular user deserves being supported by me. And in addition, the comment which nominates this round’s pick FIRST, will get a full 100% upvote from me.
• And I also need the nominees to be writing in a language I can understand, this will be in English or if you are really cool also in German. Unfortunately other languages can't be considered.
• 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.
• Since the question came up before: YES, you can also vote for the same user as someone before you. As more nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end.
• It 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.

• As I mentioned before, the weekly benefiaciary will not only be supported by me. @dexpartacus has commited himself to follow my lead and to also about the chosen Scorum member. We are growing strong! Thanks a lot!

Some final words:

I was glad to see some more nominations coming in last round compared to the weeks before. But I also noticed that we often get nominations for writers who I had just accompanied a couple of weeks earlier.

If you are not sure whether some writer has already won a nomination round, I suggest checking out the Scorum Patronage channels which I'm running on the I am Scorum Discord server. This would be also the right place for any suggestions and for constructive criticism. Just empty your heart and let me know how you think about Scorum Patronage and where you think we could improve a little.

And if your last nomination didn't make it last week, just nominate him or her again, since everyone deserves more than one chance and it would be neat to see some real competition in our weekly Scorum Patronage rounds.
