Hello Scorum... how are things?

We are rapidly approaching the end of June, and in a few days we gonna finish the first half of this exiting year 2019. Time is flying like crazy, haven't we just celebrated New Year?

I know things here at Scorum could be a bit better and we are all in doubt which way we gonna head from now. Uncertainty is a our permanent fellow these days but hey... don't worry! You are not alone! I am here and with me lots of other cool cats who would like to see this place succeed.

And since it is Thursday again, I want to invite you to join the nominations of the next Scorum Patronage round.

Did you come across some interesting writer who in your eyes needs more attention?

Perfect! Because all what you need to do is to leave that users name in the comment section of this post.

On Sunday I will then choose the writer who gets the most nominations and make him or her the "winner of this round", the next beneficiary of a whole week of Scorum Patronage.

My job won't be finish yet, since from there I will accompany the chosen user for a total of seven days to read their articles and to support them with my upvotes. Which will hopefully help to bring some more attention to their profiles and to encourage them to continue writing quality sport blogs.

I will not only upvote the winner's posts, but also give out a big vote for the comment which nominated this round's winner 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 26

Let's start the twenty sixth 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 first 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 another big 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...

Round 26 means we are halfway through this year. I haven't missed any week yet, maybe you remember my commitment that I am planning to run this initiative any given week until the very last day of 2019.

I still feel encouraged to show up here to look out for some new promising writers. Sure not every new Scorum user is a super talented sports blogger, but we could already discover some nice gems here. And many more will eventually follow. You will see...

Alright, now I will leave it to you to jump into the comments comments and leave some thrilling nomination.

I am curious who you are coming up with this week, and where I am heading next to explore and discover new users here on Scorum.

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 !
