WHATS WRONG?
#steemsilvergold, don't think that @silvergoldbotty will get you where you want to be, when it comes to this platform. Yes she will be a great help to us and you might even make a few cents.
There are currently over 80 memebers in our tag. Hell we have our own steem silver coin being produced right now, we have our own vote bot,WE ARE A BIG DEAL!! All of these things will not make us a great tag. There is only one thing that will!
SUPPORT
This has been an issue since the tag was started. We don't support everyone like we should, I know that I am sometimes guilty of it. But it takes votes and comments. We should never have a post with our tag on it with 2 votes, I mean come on there are over 80 of us.
UPVOTING
How many upvotes do you give out in a day? If it isn't atleast 10 then your wrong. In the past 6 days I have handed out 134 upvotes to the group, this does not include any comments that I upvote. And speaking of upvoting comments, do you know that your curation rewards (FREE STEEM) will be larger if you upvote comments, remember curation is 25% of the payout and is split between everyone that upvoted. Well hell there is only one person normally upvoting comments. This would mean that you wouldn't have to share the curation reward with anyone else.
Guys and Gals we need to do a better job at upvoting. We have to stop the 2 vote post. Thats not us, thats not what we are about. We are a rare group of people that believe, that can see the light. Surlely we can see whats going on in our own tag.
I WILL comment to 200 upvotes per week to this tag.
we need to fix this issue before it gets worse. This tag is for us, lets make it the best damn tag on this platform.

I am currently experimenting with steemvoter to do some auto-votes for the best authors. Can I call for some nominations of who the top 10 posters are in the #steemsilvergold group and I'll set up some extra votes for them. It won't be much but it will be something to get behind.
Just reply to this comment with nominations please and I'll have a look.
@raybrockman, @goldenarms, @fat-elvis, @russellbury, @owenwat, @silverstackeruk, @sirstacksalot, @phelimint, @grizzman, @goldkey, @enginewitty, @welshstacker, @buggedout :), @goldmtters, @missiontothemoon, @kp138, @sevinwilson and the list goes on... please take no offence if you are not on this list, it's just a jam off the top of my head. there is a list and it can be searched, and as we know, everything is transparent here...
that's a great list too actually man.
Cheers... i keep going back and editing in a worthy @. This group is "seminal" bro!
♨️🎸♨️
Ok, thanks. I have a fair number of them already. I'll give it a bit longer for some more nominations before I go in and weigh them all up.
👍
Well it's not me.... I've been neglecting my posting duties for a while now. Fingers crossed though, I'll be back on it soon
Did I just feel that? If I did, thanks! Good curation rewards for sure!
I just like beer :)
You're a consistently good author too so there's 2 reasons to have you on my list!
Thanks for working to grow this community in numbers and pushing everyone to be active @raybrockman !
Thanks @stnwllstrtgc . See this is it 1 hour post and 2 comments . I HAD ONE WHOLE UPVOTE FOR ALL THA COMMENTS. so you and @doctorjohn enjoy 50% each
I agree @raybrockman, I try to upvote every #steemsilvergold post that I read.
Thanks @grizzman .
I have never understood the group voting process. Do you search for the tag, or follow everyone in the group?
I explore the tag and just look at the new ones.
Same
Thanks Ray. I try to visit @steemsilvergold daily, and I try to comment on as many posts as I can.
I've muted the one guy who run those "Guess Where XYZcoin Will Close Today" contests. I'm tired of his spam and I though about starting a post asking him to leave, but I didn't think it was my place to regulate the group.
I also try to avoid posts that do nothing but repost other people's work. If all you are going to do is throw up a Dave Morgan or Robert Kirby YouTube video, I'm not really interested. There are a few of those guys and I've muted them as well.
Posts that get bitten by the Cheetah are not usually upvoted either!
If you want to show off your stack, or start an interesting conversation, I'm more than happy to throw you an upvote!!!
Thanks, buddy,
I was just re-reading Ray's post, and it struck me... "c'mon there are over 80 of us..."
80?
Lol, we are like fucking pioneers! -- in a land with no advertising nor profile algos!
Viva la revolution!
👊😎
Yup, STEEMIT is still Beta, not even public yet ;)
Our accounts will be worth a ton of $$$ if we do
our groundwork NOW, so...
The future's looking bright!
...I Gotta Wear Shades lol
🤘😎
Since i got the slider, i find that i can upvote more posts and alot more comments. I know its worth less but it's still a vote. It's like every group, people will come and go but we will have a core. Of the 80 members, i see 30-40 active. Keep in mind that membership list is only a few weeks old as well from the bot picked the members using content filters.
I am 100% behind you with the upvoting each other's posts and comments. I will start with my own posts and everyone who leaves a comment will get a min of a 2 cent upvote, not much but thats what i can offer and stay above 90% power. I already drop 10-15 upvotes on posts everyday, just not comments.
Great post Ray, you do plenty for the group and i thank you for your time :)
No need to thank me, I love metals, and the group, its all about giving my friend and makeing this work. Thanks for dropping by
I got you fam.
What does that mean?
That means "Yes I agree and will make a conscientious effort to upvote the #steemsilvergold community as much as possible."
I do enjoy a good ol upvote, i keep trying to get my voting power bar up but as soon as it gets over 70% im voting like a nutter, my plan is to keep above 80% but ive never seen 80% before the voting temptation takes hold. But its in all our interests to support each other, the steemsilvergold pool will only be as good as we all make it
You said jt "support each other" thanks for dropping by
Fantastic! Love your enthusiasm and dedication to #steemsilvergold. Advocacy at its finest:)
Thanks
Great post, raybrockman!! I make a commitment to do my part as well. I think we have a great and unique community here and we all want it to be successful.
I've also been posting on some of the more YouTube Silver channels encouraging them to join Steemit, but in particular #steemsilvergold. Without sounding spammy.
Good for you buddy, spread the word, thats what we need. Thanks for stopping in
Upvoted. I like where your head is at! However, being a juvenile minnow, I'd very much appreciate a more complete explanation on all the tools available to this group. Also, what exactly do you mean by "our tag" did we create it, or just standardize on it? I think I have too many questions... whatever though, I'm ready to upvote and support!
Yes that tag was created by a member. Ask me any question you need to.
I agree. Membership is a privilege and requires support. Freeloading is not an option. As Ray said, anything less than giving your 10 free votes, even if some of them are to yourself, is below the correct threshold.
Cheers to @raybrockman!!!
upvoted & resteemed
Well said. A community is nothing without the support of it's members.
I am willing to delegate some SP to the Botty ;)
We also need a way to prioritize our feed, but until then just
check the tag I guess. Good time to cull some follows, I have
almost 20% more follows than followers. My Fault!
tip!
I try to go through the tag twice a day and catch all the post. Thanks for stopping by.
Im so thrilled about the group, and the coin, still learning about how the voting works but i will try to vote more for any articles with our tags and now i will vote for comments also :)
Resteeming, I wish I could do more.

I am still trying to figure this platform. how it works, upvotes, wallet, how people see my stuff etc. It looks like its going to be a steep learning curve.
