8 Weeks on Steemit, Time for My Weekly Status Update

update

One more week since I have registered and started using Steemit has passed, making it two whole months since I initially registered. So let me see how things have changed in numbers since the last week and what I have achieved in the last 7 days. You can also check my previous week's status report here if you are interested to see some older numbers. After the usual statistics you can also find some more about the things that I have been doing in the last week and some more thoughts about Steemit in general...

I've made some decent progress in the last week, though judging from the ranking I'm losing a bit in terms of posting as I have been posting and commenting less lately... been busy with some other things. Also my initial enthusiasm has apparently cooled down a bit already and I have started doing some other things as well besides writing posts. Maybe I will tart doing some follow up on some series of posts that I have started, but temporary stopped for a bit, namely 3D printing and RC models.

Other Things I Have Been Doing Lately

I have been more active on the discovery and reporting of plagiarism on Steemit as this is something that we really should not be encouraging as it attracts the wrong kind of people that try to cheat the system and get away with rewards that they just don't deserve. I have made some helpful posts about plagiarism and what people can do to help without having to say that they are not being paid to police Steemit. The funny thing is that you can actually get some rewards for helping with fighting plagiarism, spam and abuse on Steemit, so that kind of excuse does not really work, though you should not be doing it just because of a reward.

Fighting plagiarism, abuse and spam on Steemit is in line with my efforts around the @robotev bot that I'm working on - the goal of that bot is to encourage good writers that have not yet established a reputation on Steemit. I've also already worked on some other automation for other projects that should help in making things better for authors on Steemit and I have some more interesting ideas to implement as well in the future. I hope to be even more useful with what I contribute on Steemit and I'm also looking for people that are willing to help in these efforts of mine... after all I'm a single person and cannot do everything alone as much as I want to. I want to thank all of the already more than 20 curators that are a part of the @robotev project and are helping me get it better and more functional and useful for everyone else on Steemit.

Lately I have been posting more about photography and I do plan to continue doing that as I believe I have some experience and knowledge that I can share and make the information useful for other photographers as well. So you might want to check some of my photography related posts from the last week, I'm available to answer questions as well if you might have some. I've been using the Steemit Chat more, so I'm available there as well under the same username. Maybe I will be posting some more photographs as well as I have some interesting ones to share and I haven't been doing that much yet.

Another thing that was suggested to me in the witness channel of the chat is to advertise my campaign for becoming a Steemit witness as I recently started exploring what it is to be a witness on Steemit. So I'm also going to do that in my weekly report, if you think that I can be a useful witness and help even more Steemit that way, feel free to vote for me as a witnesss... here is how you can vote for me as a witness. I have been posting some useful tips about things that witnesses can or should do and how to do them as a part of me being one and exploring what it is and what you need to do as such.
