RE: IT'S CONTEST TIME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ~ WE ARE GIVING AWAY 60+ SHARES TO @STEEMBASICINCOME AND SBD REWARDS! YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT!

in #greetersguild7 years ago

They are asking you to read other posts and if you like one to upvote. With being under 45 most of us don't really have a following and are not making very much money, if any. The best thing you can do is support the little guys with good content, not to throw your voting power away to one of the whales, because they will make hundreds and thousands with or without you. You upvote to a redfish especially means the world to them, that someone out there cares about what they are posting. This contest and group designed to contribute to the part of the community that needs the most help, gets overlooked and to keep from losing them. If these people don't get votes don't see that people appreciate a quality articles, then why waste their time? They may as well go back to Facebook at least someone talks to them them there.

This is what you get if you upvote the post for one.

Every greeter or referring person will be rewarded 0.05 SBD for each person who join ONE trail. If you have someone join both trails, that is a total of 0.10 SBD rewarded to you.

Secondly, the upvote gets the thread moved up on trending so it can be seen and also as a way to give back to you. You're kind of missing the point. If you're wanting to do that, go through my follower list and see how many want me to follow and upvote, especially when they haven't even posted.

Having to sign up with yet another site, you lost me especially with all phishing going on to gain access to accounts.
I do not want my keys plastered all over different sites.

I have NEVER been asked for my key to any of the Discord groups I am in. 2 of which are Greeters Guild and Newbie Resteem Day. If you're giving out your key and can't tell what a phishing post is, I don't know what to tell you.

What theses guy are doing is trying to build up good quality posters, not allow the platform to cater to meme posters, copyright infringers and most of all plagiarists. Do the right thing and build up the little guys. You'll receive far greater rewards from being consistent with upvoting and commenting on them, than you will by trying to kiss butt to a whale.

And do remember no one has to agree with you and they have the right to flag you. Since you straight out refuse do do what the post is they're flagging is making sure you do not get any reward for you post on here. Which is legitimate.

Now, if you flag other people as a result of this. That is a totally different conversation.
Look at the bigger picture. If you don't understand ask them.

These guys are great. They're supportive and believe in what they are doing.

Sort:

For that part of the contest. The main body of the contest it does not.

.

In that part of the contest....there are 2 parts.

HOW TO ENTER AND PARTICIPATE IN THE SECOND EVENT
STEP ONE - VISIT THE #INTRODUCEYOURSELF AND #INTRODUCEMYSELF AREAS OF THE STEEMIT PLATFORM
STEP TWO - LOCATE NEW STEEMIT USERS WITH QUALITY CONTENT WHO ARE IN NEED OF SUPPORT AND A WARM WELCOME
STEP THREE - SINCERELY AND COMPASSIONATELY WELCOME THESE NEW USERS TO THE COMMUNITY, OFFERING ADVICE, HELP AND SUPPORT.
STEP FOUR - INTRODUCE THESE NEW STEEMIT USERS TO VISIT US @GREETERSGUILD AND TO JOIN IN ON THIS CONTEST EVENT BY ENTERING THEIR WORK IN THE COMMENTS PORTION OF THIS POST.
STEP FIVE - ENCOURAGE THESE NEW USERS TO DO THEIR ABSOLUTE BEST. HAVE THEM TAG YOU IN THEIR ENTRY COMMENT ON THIS CONTEST POST.

This is the main body of the promotion. As mentioned to get the thread on the trending page it has to be upvoted. No one is making you, if you want to participate in the 1st part and be rewarded with .050 to .100 SBD then upvote if not, don't. You're making an issue out of something that quite honestly is blatantly violated even by whales. So don't get stuck on rule that may be broken by a group that is doing good, go after the ones that ruin the platform.

And THIS clearly does not.

.

You're post was saying asking for upvotes is against policy. You copied the first part where it said it. I said it was only part of the contest and copied the 2nd part. (part 2 is the posting for the introductions) You actually covered both in your post.

No you didn't say anyone was making you and that was what I was saying ..no one is making you.

And to be honest with you after spending the past hour or so re-reading the FAQs, the bluepaper and whitepaper. It is an etiquette issue. There is no 'policy' that states you cannot ask for upvotes. It's frowned upon but in no way is a 'policy' violation. Mainly due to the fact there really aren't policies.

The introductions on the greetersguild page are not a 'resteem'or a copy paste. They are of the nature of 'I came across 'person x' the post was written very well, I like how they showed their artwork or I like how they presented themselves or their personality really comes through. If you get the chance please check them out.

Have fun. Sorry this contest doesn't interest you and you're missing out on an amazing group of people that really do want to increase the quality of is out there. Wouldn't be better to work on building people up to help them reach a goal, which in turn comes back to you?
