Very good set of rules os ethics(behavior) and esthetics(good content) for guilds on Steemit.
Please give you opinion for the case where guild members working receive payments from outside the rewarding pool like a token from another coin?.
Expecting they put self-interest above collective interests
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It is our intent that all guild members will receive no monetary rewards for their efforts, be it from the reward pool or otherwise. It is this sort of thing that can make a project that was started with good intentions turn into something else when people start getting a taste for rewards.
The main priority here is that all participants are volunteers, who are offering their help because they feel passionately about seeing Steemit improve.
payments to try and sway votes will not be accepted. Is that what you mean? If someone sends coins and says, "hey, vote for my post". Absolutely not.
If someone just wants to say "great job" or something to that effect, well, that's fine. But tipping the curators will not influence their decisions on posts. Only the most incorruptible individuals will be entrusted. I will mention that I have seen @son-of-satire act with 100% integrity in a number of situations. I am confident that he's a trustworthy person. He has acted selflessly on many, many occasions.
Sorry, That was not what I meant.
If you are in a guild and receive rewards from outside steemit(and not steem) to curate and look for "good content"(subjective).
Maybe it is good for new users that don't feel rewarded if they could get involved to work with for example with the rules you propose and receive a complimentary reward.
I was asking not about your guild but just an opinion about it (can it be good or bad?).
Would it help to get another kind of reward besides Steem as motivation to participate?.
Nothing to do with using voting or get self-promotion.
And I was not addressing any person or actions here, just like the line of thought by the author about guilds. :)
At the same time, I'm collecting tips for my writings about guilds and group-dynamics in relation to rewards and non-competitive societies.
And I'm trying to understand the conditions how a dominant group can get control over a network.
Maybe this can't be avoided until the day we can live in a total non-competitive society, where dominance doesn't make sense.
