I didn't think it was aimed at anyone in particular as you usually meet an issue head-on and personal if it is one particular person, as opposed to posting a general blog.
It does have a watered-down effect, especially the way I was doing it. I get them all in one or two days and will usually repost them almost immediately. I can understand the logic behind a contest and challenge like I have, but, mass reblogs are about as good as not doing it unless you are interested in what is going on in that contest/challenge...in which case, you can go to the challenge post. I have been making mine drop the link there and I am guessing that is more beneficial than all the reblogs.
Thanks for not muting me. :))
I think selecting a few out of many that post to your community will make it more worth it. It is best you also make it clear on the the community too.
My thoughts though.
The reblogs are not anything I have ever said I would do, so I don't know if I want to announce I am not doing something that is not part of posting in the community. It will feel like something I will be taking away. Perhaps I am thinking about it wrong. @hopestylist
Okay, that is fine too.
Lol, I'm not going to mute you, I've done it with others though, unfollowed.
I think the thing about communities is that those interested in the content go there and operate within it and that's how it should be. If I reblogged every gun post in my The Pew community I'd say people would get rather annoyed with me, and justifiably so I think.
The more I think of my one reblog a day scenario the more I like it. It's measured, balanced over a week period and avoids long strings of the same content being placed on people's feeds by one individual. It also forces the reblogger to decide which one they will promote each day. I would also say it would be a requirement for a 100% vote on the reblogged post by the reblogger as an additional endorsement of why they've reblogged it and to unlock the ability to reblog it. That way there's, skin in the game rather than just clicking buttons.
Anyway, it's good to help newbies...But I think it's better done by commenting on their posts regularly, voting and suggesting improvements (respectfully) and consistently doing that until they find their own place. After two weeks to a month if they don't stand on their own feet, cut them loose and move on. Seems a better way than reblogging something that is possible sub-standard and uninteresting to others - That doesn't help the newbie at all.
So, that's it. I have to go work outside a bit. I hope you're having a good weekend.
