And here we are again and it is already Friday evening what means I am a little late to open the the next Scorum Patronage nomination round.
However we are still in time so I am again reaching out to you to suggest me as many writers as possible who could need some help. You have time until Sunday when I will choose the person who got most nominations to accompany him or her through the next week and read and upvote their articles.

To encourage everyone joining the nomination round, I will upvote those comments which explain why a certain nominee will be a great choice and why he/she needs my assistance. Plus there will be a full upvote for the person who comes up with this round's winner FIRST.

The idea behind Scorum Patronage is as usual, bringing some attention to some newer writers or to some Scorum blogs 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 @traillevi , one very new Scorum member, whose profile I am now checking out on a daily basis to read and upvote his articles.

Nominations for WEEK 4:

Let's start the fourth 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 couple of days ago I introduced last week's beneficiary @santiago60:

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.

We are still not reaching the same amount of nomination as when I started this little initiative a couple of months ago. However that won't stop me from doing what I have begun, as long as there is at least one nomination coming in I will stick to what I have committed myself to. I am very glad to see some of the users I have supported in earlier rounds having found thee place in our creative Scorum community, writing interesting post and getting more and more readers for their articles. I even dare to claim that my humble assistance has helped them to get started and pushed into the limelight.

Scorum Patronage is meant to encourage people to interact and engage with eachothers and to to look out to Scorum members who aren't so succesful yet, but who are trying to contribute quality to our growing and thrilling sports blogging platform. There are many other great initiatives out to help writers to get some attentions ( I just mention @pete's writing contests ) and to bring Scorum up to the next level. BIG UP to everyone who is willing to help other people grow strong.

Only together we will be able to make Scorum the attractive and welcoming place we want it to be, so let us look after each others, since somebody's success could also be a milestone to our own success.

That's why I am looking forward to lots of nominations of many different creative writers. Since I committed myself to reading one writer's articles for a whole week I clearly come across quite some different topics and views. And I am planning to continue this way.

If you have any questions or just want to chat please hook me up on Discord. Scorum Patronage is running some channels on the "I am Scorum"-server were you can see recent announcements and nominations and you will have a chance to discuss any problems or suggestions.

Catch you guys soon...

Love and Respect !
