As serious as this issue is, this really cracked me tho. I feel your humor.
Back to the gist, I think reorienting rather than totally casting off will do... Had @steemstem mgt not come out to voice out about this issue, none of us would probably pick this topic.
So, as much as we want a change. Let's not be totally blunt.. We can only try to encourage them the more.
Thanks for this effort sire
You don't think that money reward should be encouraging enough for them? :)
You don't get my point here. I meant we could only try to make them aware what the goal of the community is - engagement and support.
Definitely, we are all encouraged the more for the money... It's like getting a place to reward you for your passion.... It drives you more & you get to do more research & improve.
However, as noted, we are getting lost on the way to doing that. Hence why the announcement and break is justified
Not everyone will yield. We can only keep trying.
Thanks for the comments.
Look, this is only my personal opinion. And I'm not STEM, I'm just one of you. Equal to you. Equal to all other ordinary participants. I simply wrote a post today.
What I have seen so far is that there are decent people - you don't need to fix them.
And there are the people who can't learn by applying the positive feedback only.
All of us, under the power 5000 are taking more than we put into the system.
People in 1000 range can be even if they are playing honestly.
All those people who have the power can write 10x 1 paragraph post and vote for themselves.
(just as the majority of the whales do, and that is ok)
Basically all of us are already positively encouraged all the time.
If some members don't understand that - they can't be fixed.
Then it's not an encouragement, it's a defeat in a blackmail situation.
Well, I get your point. And I surely understand it's your way of getting real on "fake" members. Well, this alarm raised is enough to make everyone rethink and contribute more.
Thanks
