Hello Scorum!

It is Friday again, another beautiful day is leading into an even greater weekend. Just the perfect time to open another Scorum Patronga nomination round, my little initiative, where I am asking you to nominate me some other Scorum users who could need some little support.

The nominations will run until Sunday, that's when I will check all of your nominations and choose the winner of this round, whose blog I am planning on visiting through the next week to read and upvote one post a day.

Last nominations we had a historical low since nobody joined and therefor we didn't have any winner. However no hurt feeling, and I am here again to invite all of you to join and to show that we looking out for other members of our creative family as well.

I will not only upvote the winner's posts, but also the comment who nominated this round's beneficiary 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. Hopefully this will finally lure more of you into joining the nomination round.

And don't forget, it doesn't have to be a new user!

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.

Nominations for WEEK 18:

Let's start the eighteenth 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.

However, if there is a user who gets more than 15 SCR in average, but who you feel is doing a great job here on the Scorum platform, please feel free to nominate them anyways. Eventually I will check through all the nominees and accept all candidates who I think are worth of a week of Scorum Patronage.

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.

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 doesn't need to be a new writer! 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!

Alright, that's it!

I am quite positive we will see some more game going on this round than the week before. All I am asking for is to actually check out who you are nominating, and that said user is worth of being supported by Scorum Patronage.

Not everyone here is a super-talented sports blogger, but what counts is that we can see someone is putting in some real effort to create some informative posts. We need users writing some articles which are meant to promote our exiting and promising platform, and not people who are just here to sneak in some fast reward. And if English is not your language, why don't you stick to your own language domain instead and help building another buzzing community there?

I know, I am repeating myself, but somehow it feels necessary to point out the obvious.

Anyways, now it is up to you to come over and drop some interesting names. I am curious who you are coming up with this week, and who I am going to explore and discover now.

This said, I am ready to receive your nominations! And please don't hesitate to hook me up when you have questions or if you want to leave some comment or criticism. You can also find me in the Scorum Patronage channels which I am running on the I am Scorum discord server.

I am looking forward to reading from you.

Catch you soon...

Love and Respect !
