It is a good idea if we were able to get some program wrote that would track members post tag when posting but im not that great with computers and i think it's a good idea to have a 50% min but alot of others would not. The trail also is a fantastic idea but again, who are half these half on the list? I done the list every week for around 7 months and who are they? I never see them posting are commenting. I hear what you are saying but everything goes down to vote
Also, i would add on another comment with your answers. Your comment was great and thank you for your input but every vote counts
I did not put names because most I don't know and those that I know could think that I am against them personally. Remember that it was a 13 hours statistics on a specific day. I know that most of our members work , have family and don't have time to search. I am retired, my daughters live abroad and I have all the time in the world. If you want, I can look what all the members of ssg wrote on the last two months and check if they wrote at least 50% of their posts about our main interest and send you a list of those who didn't.
Changing the subject I know that all votes count but your poll assumes that only inactive members should be expelled. My proposition is for a poll before this decision. We must decide if we want to expel the inactives or expel the improductives in terms of ssg content or both.
@ronaldoavelino, I am one of your “unproductives”. ☺️ I know for a fact I got your vote that day on one of my other types of posts. This is the downfall of the vote trails.
The truth of the matter is steemit is social and it earns folks money. I like ssg posts, and I post about ssg things when I have something to say. But other things interest me as well, and I post about those things too. ssg people might not be interested in my dog posts, but maybe members of my other groups (steemsugars, teamusa, etc)are. It is all a balancing act.
My friend, it is not possible to call unproductive a person that almost everyday posts at least one article with ssg theme. I read today your post about the zoo and I loved it. What I think should be purged are people that post three articles with recipes on the same day or three articles about religion with zero articles about ssg. These people exist. These are extreme examples but it is easy to find people that post with some regularity but the last ssg related post was a month ago.
To tell the truth, I don't care about them. It was not my idea to make purges. However if they want to purge, at least have a good motive and I don't think that lack of frequency is a good motive and I am simply offering another motive.
It can be a slippery slope to try and start enforcing this way. Most people are casual or part-time stackers before they become hard-core. If we start kicking out the casual or part-timers because they have too many other interests I think SSG fails. We need pathways.
We just need a good set of rules and everything else will fall into place
There will always be grey areas
Just to create a little havoc, I have noticed that @hgmsilvergold has not posted anything in the past months. Will he be purged? Is it fair to purge the creator of our community just because he is not posting anymore?
@hgmsilvergold is a lifetime member.
His lifetime, not mine
My view is a bit different. In my eyes there are no sacred cows and there are no leaders. I've seen some of his old stuff and I think he would similarly agree that he is not above the law. But that's ok, we're allowed to have different opinions. It what makes us strong :)
