What's up Scorum?

We are approaching the mid of August and the days have become significantly shorter, the dark season is approaching us with big steps. Today is one of those golden October days but we are awaiting another typhoon this weekend. News are saying it's gonna be a "monster typhoon", but I am not really sure what will come along our way. Hopefully typhoon season will be over soon, it is getting rather annoying and recently we have been seeing lots of rain every weekend, what makes it less fun to spend time outdoors. Autumn is usually the time when people here are getting out of there houses, after spending weeks escaping the summer in air-conditioned rooms. This time now is actually really precious since winter here is rather wet and dark. Another season when most people avoid going out and keep hiding in their heated rooms. Therefor I would like to fully recharge my batteries to prepare for the harsher times just around the corner. Hopefully I will get some chance to head out on my rare days-off to embrace the beauty of life.

However today I am here to get you all in front of your computers or smartphones again. Scorum Patronage will open its doors again and invites you all to another nomination round.

I need you to 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 user 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 41

This gonna be the forty first 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 finding 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 beneficiary 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 final words...

Somehow I am having the feeling the world around me is getting crazier day by day. Recently I can't find any good news, when I turn on my computer or check out my phone I am bombarded my shocking information from around the world. Of course I know that our planet has never been a really peaceful place, sinc ethe beginning of mankind we could witness countless conflicts and wars, but don't we all have the feeling that it is getting worse and worse. Not sure why I am feeling like that right now, probably having a family makes me more sensitive and provides more of those sleepless nights. If I look back I would that that the 90s of last century where a decade when the world around me was in a somewhat peaceful and stable situation, but probably I just didn't really get the whole picture and look outside of my bubble. I guess my view and horizon has widened enormously over the years and I am more aware about what is going on not only near me but also at other places in the world. And that often shocks and frightens me, good news are mostly short-lived and followed by some major set-backs.

Not sure were we are all heading, I am not a person who is predicting dooms day but these days it becomes harder to really believe that we are all on the right track. If I look out if the window right now I can see lots of young and promising young souls, trying to prepare themselves for their future or just plainly enjoying the moment. I hope the will be right and their future will be ours as well. I want to believe that nothing is lost and mankind will eventually find the right path back to humanity and manage to all live together in peace and dignity. Respect should not be a shallow word, lets try to live up to our standards and set an example for others. Let us be the change we want to see!!

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...
