@neoxian came through and it's 13-14 in favor of - but I don't think he even delegates to the bot and I've never seen him in the discord so odd to see him weighing in with a few others I never see either. But I totally agree with the token aspect. What's the phrase - "if it ain't broke"?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
"If It ain't Broke" @enginewitty, I reapect all the support and everything you do and have done for the community, but.... its broke and I dont think anyone can say that its not. This is not what it was created for. Now if it was a group like thealliance then post what you want as long as its quality. Quality was you'lls requirement right? As I can remember you guys did not budge on that, wich I respected, this is no different.
Many have the view that it IS broke. I know what the vision was when it was created because I was there and so was @raybrockman. It is not serving the purpose it was built for.
As for @neoxian he has been a member for a very long time and he supported us when we were getting this running not just with delegation but with donation too. Just because he isn't "chatty" that doesn't mean his vote and opinion does not count. He is still a member.
But it is still voting on metal posts too so isn't that serving the purpose?
I still think delegating to the bot should get a vote. I still think folks who actively comment AND delegate should get a vote.
I agree we have a LOT of dead weight in the list but I cannot understand why you guys are pushing so hard for this change to happen in such a short period of time.
You know what, I am starting to feel the same way I felt when the whales/witnesses were pushing ssg around a while back and I have a bad feeling about it so I am just going to stop talking now and let you guys save us.
Yes, I know there are still a handful of metals posts getting upvotes but it's a tiny percentage - a fraction of what it used to be. There are a lot more totally unrelated, low-effort posts than there are metal posts that add zero value to the community and because of that there is zero incentive to post about metals.
If we can't get the ship back on course now, then when will we? The answer is probably never. We could have got a proposal like this up easily 2 years ago, but the truth is - we didn't need to back then because people were using the service in the right spirit.
As for ssuk, I know you guys have history. I remember all that. He does rub people the wrong way sometimes but I've worked with him and he generally comes from a good place and works hard even if he says dumb shit from time to time that I don't agree with. Your screenshot is a good example :)
PS - When were the whales/witnesses pushing SSG around?

Oh, that thing.
Have a look at the top comment and see who was front and centre sticking up for this community just 11 months ago.
We stood up for whats right and in the end we got a good result. Not just exposure but contributions too. It's just a reminder how quickly people forget. You don't have to be gone long.....
@summertooth, thats a classic insert foot into mouth response from SSUK.
You and I both know that it does not take any extra effort to produce a silver post or better yet include it in the non metal post. I mean instead of posting a walking map on actifit, why cant you post an ASE? this is being made out like its hard, when its not. But to have members not posting at all about silver has got to be unacceptable in the eyes of most. The good thing about our community is we all have opinions, I value yours as I know you value mine but we cant forget this is a precious metal community! Thanks for stopping by brother! Always value your opinion!
Ray, I agree with a lot of what you say on this issue.
I cannot understand why we are slamming through a vote on this without proper discussion.
@buggedout's post was an outline if I read it right, a starting point. Then, before a proper discussion can get rolling, @ssg-community proposes a vote on the outline with a three day window to vote and now we have a lot of pissed off people.
I feel this could have been avoided and I just don't understand the rush.
I never thought my discord comment would have offended anyone. I've been part of the community for over 3 years and thought people understood my tongue and check way of expressing myself. At least you get it Ray
People are easily offered these days and over think things :)
