Hello Scorum...

It is Thursday again and today I am quite in time to open another round of nominations for our Scorum Patronage initiative.

As usual we are here to ask you to name us some Scorum writers who could need some assistance to get their articles pushes into the spotlight.

You gonna have time until Sunday to find some user you like and who you think hasn't gotten the attention he actually deserves. Then I will pick the winner for the next Scorum Patronage, whose profile I will visit daily to check out his or her articles and support them with my upvotes.

I will not only upvote the winner's posts, but also the comment who nominated this round's beneficiary first. In 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!

Nominations for WEEK 19:

Let's start the nineteenth 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 for 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 up 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 nominate 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 beneficiary will not only be supported by me. @dexpartacus has committed himself to follow my lead and to also about the chosen Scorum member. We are growing strong! Thanks a lot!

Some last words...

After a few weeks where we were running pretty low we seem to be kinda back on track. This week I am supporting two different users who both have been taken on the challenge and are posting as often as daily. Of course we are talking about different styles and seeing different quality, but that seems to be the future of a blogging platform like Scorum. Not everybody is a talented writer, but as much as I understand Scorum should be open to everyone who is a genuine interested in sports and who would like to contribute in a healthy way to our growing community here.

Recently there hasn't been such a big influx of new writers, so it can be hard to find some newcomer to nominate him. That said let's also focus on Scorum users who have been here for a while but who haven't made it to the top yet.

If feels a bit sad that some people here only seem to stick to certain circles when it comes to voting and hardly break out of them to vote for users they don't know and who don't have such big SCR wallet. But hey, to each their own. I am still here to vote for those users you are recommending me, each given week!

And now it is up to you to stop by and leave some interesting names. I am curious who you are coming up with this week, and who I am going to explore and discover.

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 !
