Hello Scorum, what's going on?
We almost finished October, just one more week left! Where does all that time go, I am just skipping from week to week without being able to really catch a breath. Now we are going to enter the 43rd round of Scorum Patronage in 2019, an I am pretty positive I can keep momentum until the end of the year. It's not that far away, even though I am not so much in a hurry.
That's my I want you all to take a break and come over here. Scorum Patronage relies on your help, I really need your assistance to get each round started.
Today it's gonna be your job, please look back and thing which Scorum user could use some more support. Then nominate this user in the comment section of this post and leave the rest to me. On Sunday I will check through all nominations and chose the candidate who got nominate the most as our next beneficiary.
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 43
This gonna be the forty third 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...
Sometimes I am wondering how many of you guys are still active here. Of course I can find new posts every day, but if I compare those articles to articles on Scorum about a year ago I can see a big difference. Articles often became much shorter than they used to be.
Of course I can clearly understand the reason. Scorum isn't as inviting and encouraging as it used to be. The Scorum Coin price is just falling lower and lower and I can't see where and why it could stop.
User activity is also decreasing and most of the times it's always the some people who are being active here. Same goes for me, a year a go I was writing more, almost every day I could deliver a sports post, but due to many reason I had to limit myself a lot. But I wanted to run my Scorum Patronage initiative in every given week this year and so far I was able to do so. But me too, I don't feel as motivated as I was before. I still try to come to Scorum to read and to upvote some articles, but the time I am spending here becomes shorter and shorted. In contrary to many other users I haven't found a replacement yet, I simply don't care about Sportstalksocial, all I want is Scorum to succeed. The reason is simple, I already have spend so much time here and put in quite some effort and also money, that I am just not having the energy to start over at some different platform. And right now it just sucks everywhere!
What would it take to get the Scorum developers to come out with some announcement where they are heading and where they want to see the platform in the future. Do they actually care about us or have they moved on already? The last time they were officially talking to us has been light years away and I am not sure if another official update or statement has been schedule any time soon. But without communication we won't go far from here! This platform is becoming more and more silent, of course the environment is not really encouraging but furthermost it should be the dev team pushing us to become noisier and more active!
Many unanswered question but no one feels obliged to answer those for us. Are we finally dying? Or are we already dead? Damn I don't hope so!
I still have the feeling not everything is lost and we might be still on track to some better days. And I need you guys to be with me, alone it would be quite some lonesome ride!
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 later...
