There is the helpful bottracker tool, but the reality is right now while SBD is high especially, people with some money to play with will hammer the bots with big votes in the last few minutes, and the tracker really can't help you know whether or not that will happen. It's a tough game to compete in sometimes, so I don't know that it's one most should play when the rules are fluid and lean towards a certain team.
I appreciate your comment, and agree fully. Helping each link in the chain - the contributors, the curators, the investors - all have the knowledge to leverage for success in positive community engagements, then the platform as a whole becomes more sucessful and positive. If I know something simply from being here slightly longer or having a different perspective than you, why not share it? It doesn't benefit me or you not to.
Great perspective. I actually made a new years goal to mentor a couple of new members, but got no takers. Surprisingly. While I still have a lot to learn, I thought I might be able to at least help get some people on the right track. Particularly by helping them get noticed. I don't have a lot of time to devote to this website, but I like it and want to help it succeed.
And to think I was about ready to give up when you lent me a helping hand..
I am glad you didn't give up. Critical thinkers, wild dreamers, analytical skeptics, willing helpers... the chain needs them all. Sometimes being "just another link" is a very powerful thing.
Where did my comment go? This is getting crazy. Disappearing comments, glitches galore. Oh well, in a nutshell, thanks for lending a helping hand when I was starting out...
