Official German-Trail update
Dear Steemians - the official curation account did start 3 days ago. Originally this account is designed to help finding and rewarding great content related to Germany and / or in German language PLUS the Trail is also curating / upvoting other topics especially Beer, Sports and History in addition.
Recently there have been some negative comments and persons spreading wrong information about the trail and its curator. As it is a censor free platform one can say and think whatever they want - a few dislike the work of @steemtrail and do their thing to discredit them in chats. One main thing was accusing trail curators to vote for themselves stating the "trail is working exclusively for @uwelang". It is true the curator upvoted one of his own posts (not a post by the Trail) 3 days ago. There are different opinions on self voting - I do think in theory this is legit when the trail is giving support for over 20 Posts per day helping Steemians to earn more rewards and increase the reach of their content. Almost everyone is upvoting their own posts - if a trail curator does an upvote on a post of his personal account everyone says - "BAD TRAIL / BAD GUY".
The curator of this trail therefore wanted to make sure not to vote any single post of his personal account anymore - but following wrong accusation and bashing this might change and the curator takes the freedom to decide this. Feel free to comment your view.
Being transparent here are the rules for curating the @German-trail account:
- No upvote of any posts made by the German-trail account
- Identifying posts/comments I like
- Upvote these posts/comments
- Leave a comment for the post or comment...NOT upvote your comment
- Engage in comments
- Always comment with something meaningful
Some might not be happy with the outcome though so here is your chance to say - No - Stop voting me!
Comment with "Stop Voting" and we will not vote on any of your content.
