Hello Scorum!

Here am I again on this warm and humid October day. It feels like if we were still in summer, airconditioners are still running over here and most people I see are short-sleeved. Another typhoon has been approaching my area and will probably bring quite some rain for us. Fortunately we rarely get really hit by those storms and when they come here they should have lost most of their destructive energy, we hardly get real torrential rain around my city.

However temperatures have been climbing up again and the days became pretty humid, I actually thought we left this conditions behind us and we were heading towards some more comfortable days. But on the other hand I also enjoy not having to use the heater yet and to be able to go out without a jacket. Cooler days are just ahead and the cold season is already lurking behind the next corner. Winter here can be really frustrating with endless days of grey skies and loads of heave and wet snow. Nothing to really look forward though.

However, good to be alive and to be able to come over here to Scorum. And since we are getting closer to the weekend, I want to invite you all again to join my Scorum Patronage initiative.
Let's find another Scorum user who is working hard but who hasn't found a big audience yet. I need you to suggest and nominate those users, and on Sunday I will then choose our winner, which I will assist for a whole week by checking out and upvoting his or her articles. My hope is that hereby we can cast some light on those user's profiles and help him to find some new readers. It is on us to build the Scorum community and this is my humble part in helping getting us connected and linked up. But without your help Scorum Patronage won't work, only together we are strong.

You don't have to do much, just nominate another creative and genuine Scorum users which you have discovered recently. All you need to do is to drop their names down into the comment section. You gonna have time until Sunday when I then choose the winner of this nomination round.

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.

But I will not only visit the winner's blog, but in addition give out some big votes for the person who nominates this round's winner first. Plus I will also leave some upvotes on every genuine nomination or comments. Let's see if this will eventually bring some more people onto joining the nominations.

Nominations for WEEK 40

This gonna be the fortieth round of Scorum Patronage in 2019. I usualy ask you a very simple a question:

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

Please nominate me some Scorum users who need some support or some initial boost. I am thinking about all those new members of our growing and creative community but also about everyone else who is having a hard time fiding its place here on Scorum.

It is not so important how many Scorum Coins or Scorum Power somebody has in its wallet, I would rather like to focus on everybody's post reward. Let's try to find those users who don't usually get payed out big, but still try to provide some interesting and creative content. I will not set any limit anymore, but rather decide case by case and have a look on the candidates whole history.

As I said on Sunday I will choose the nominee who gets the most nominations and declare him or her to our winner of the week. If there is no leader in the nominations, I will choose the candidate who has less SP in its wallet.

I will then visit the blog of our chosen one on a daily basis to read and upvote one post a day for a whole week. Depending on quality and content I might use up to 100% of my voting power, however I strictly reserve myself the right to upvote with less or even to refuse a vote, when I feel an article doesn't live up to the quality level I would like to see here on Scorum.

Hopefully my assistance will help to bring our beneficoary into the spotlight and get his or her posts exposes to a bigger readership.

A few more things

  • Important is that you our candidates write in a language I understand, therefor I will consider articles written in English or German. Sorry, other languages can't be accepted.
  • And of course you can nominate the same candidate as someone before. As more nominations somebody get as more likely is the chance this user will be on top at the end.
  • The idea behind this initiative is to help writers who are not usually standing out in the spotlight and who don't get so much attention. Starting to blog here on Scorum can be challenging in the beginning and I would like to assist those who do have some trouble to get started and who could really be in need of some encouragement.

Some last words...

This week I have been checking out Sportstalk Social on the Steem blockchain, one of those new tribes which is also using their own token SPORTS. Sure it looks much busier over there than here on Scorum but I still have some quite mixed feelings. Nothing of what I am seeing there excites me, the blogging platform is a simple Steemit clone, which has been in beta for ages now. Many Scorum users are posting over there now to earn some other token, maybe that is a smart idea to get on another leg and have another opportunity in the crypto-related blogging world.

I don't know yet whether I will really start writing there as well, recently I have reduced my activities to only running this initiative but I surely miss my busy blogging days. I had been writing on Steemit too, very frequently on a daily basis and I actually spend hours there making my post. When I started here on Scorum I was also writing daily about different sport topics, but due to a lack of time I had to calm down a lot. I am glad I still can make the time to run Scorum Patronage through the whole year so far and I am planning to continue as long as even possible. Hopefully we will see better days and more new users which might eventually take us into cleaner and smoother waters. And more activity on Bestscorum may also influence to Scorum coin price and bring us all back on track. Yes, I am still dreaming, but what would this would look like without dreamers?

so by the way... please let me know about your experience on Sportstalk. Are you active there as well and how do you think about their community? Is it worth to get started there too? I still have an active Steemit account and this week have made a post i which I was asking those questions too. So far with no response from the Sportstalk community though.

Enough said, I am ready to receive your nominations! Don't be shy, just bring them on folks!

For questions or comments please hook me up in the comments as well. In addition you can find me in the Scorum Patronage channels which I am hosting on the I am Scorum discord channel.

I am hoping to reading from you soon!

Catch you soon...

Love and Respect !
