Hi @dangrajo, it was brought to my attention that due to the overwhelming hunts of powerbanks we're not accepting them as much anymore unless there's some new feature that really stands out.
Is this powerbank nothing prominent and new, so the product already approved must be canceled? Please give me a sample of new products to you? I think this is very strange.
Power banks are very generic a product category nowadays. They’re basically as old as the first mobile phones. Unless they have something different, like being solar charged, they are to generic to be considered for Steemhunt in 2018. Apologies.
Mod @fknmayhem. Thank you for your explanation, sorry too, but what does mod @playitforward do I feel unprofessional as mod, against hunters? Thank you very much for the time to explain this.
It is important to understand that all mods, myself included, are volunteers. Steemhunt has a rather complex moderation process, one of many things to check, and at the same time it is a still very young moderation process. A process in which nobody is an actual employee but does things because they decided to dedicate time to a great project and want to make it awesome.
As volunteers we all decide how much time we invest, how much time we have. @playitforward is a Steemian who is very active in several communities and loves to contribute to making Steem a more thriving place. Note that his name is an obvious play on “pay it forward”, which is one of the most noble mindsets anybody can have.
“Unprofessional” when somebody volunteers their time, our most precious resource we have available, is quite harsh a term IMHO. Especially on people who who receive only a very small reward for every review, a rather time consuming process. On Steem almost everyone who contributes to a project in the Steemosphere, barely any project has employed contributors.
I understand how you feel, but I would like to ask you for a little bit more tolerance. We all are humans and errors are a normal thing. At the same time making an error is also what we can learn most from.
I was the one who brought the generic factor of powerbanks to playitforward’s attention. While I could have, I prefer people to learn rather than actually being “overruled” which would have been a situation which doesn’t look good on anyone. It could have expressed a more “professional” process within Steemhunt but we are volunteers and we allow people to grow, also grow from making errors.
Every day our mods face a “firing squad” of Steemians, hunters who have very little tolerance. I do think that is a very impressive voluntary act to face accountability and possible complaints, hostility, and at times even downvotes for what they do, do as volunteers. What they do to hopefully create more and better Steem ventures for people to be rewarded on. To make Steem a more rewarding place.
I hope you can understand that being a mod at Steemhunt involves many things to check, takes a lot of time and many reviews to truly master and at the end of the day in many an element is still a subjective process as well.
Here’s hoping you have the strength in you to understand that to err is human and that we all make mistakes, day after day. All our mods deeply care about making Steemhunt one of the best and fairest steem-apps and invest lots of time. Invest time in reviewing, stay updated with the community, and lastly but not least in staying in tune with the not that simple thinking process required to be a good mod for Steemhunt.
I apologize if we came over unprofessionally to you, in which case I take all blame for not just having de-listed your hunt and left a comment about the de-listing. I hope you can understand that it isn’t a matter of “unprofessional” but instead a difficult process and one people take on because they care about the project and about making Steem an absolute success. I know @playitforward is driven ONLY by that, by “paying it forward”. 👍

This is a very good explanation, thanks for your mod, I understand more about the meaning of mod, with this annoyance I understand more about this.
