I have been involved in other projects like qurator and sbi which have been able to exclude posts that have the actifit tag to avoid this issue and have not had a problem. Why make them? I have personally struggled to remain healthy and fit all my life and it has honestly been the small difference to motivate me to remain active and accountable for my daily activity. As a person who works in an office environment sometimes up to 14 hours per day, it is tough to find this type of motivation. It may be spam from a technology perspective but it makes a difference; it also has an interesting way to engage with a great community. Totally understand that these posts are not worth dollars but it is not about the words alone.

I guess each project has it's pros and cons. I am not a coder and run this thing on my own which simply makes it limited to what I have available in both tools and time and try to make the best of that. Being able to spread upvotes while skipping what doesn't meet the minimum quality requirements is not within my reach at the moment.
I'm 100% supportive on this, but why not just make a separate account and dump those posts on there like many others do or put just a bit extra effort into them making them more personal and attractive on the eye for the platform and in the feeds of your followers.
I completely understand the limitations as my own have not allowed me to be as active as I once was posting everyday. I have considered having specific accounts for actifit and other projects I have engaged with but believe that it is an even worst type of spam that is allowed. If we want to become a social blockchain, shouldn't all of our engagement be consolidated? If we need to cater to individual communities for our engagements, how will we ever stand a chance to a centralized application like Facebook or Reddit; no wonder why we have not been successful.
If I may suggest a solution; I post three "quality posts" a week in addition to almost daily actifit posts. Could the upvote be only 30% (3/10) of what the full value would be? If not, I can understand the difficulty in accommodating although I never recall this being disclosed when the project started. What would my unit count be at the moment and the value of the stake for refund?
The thing is, you don't have to be active every day. I totally get how Hive is incentivizing this and how things like actifit/drugwars/... are a perfect solution to make a daily post which gets the upvotes with minimum time investment. I see this money chasing aspect which doesn't really require real content to be posted as one of the main reasons why Steem/Hive has not been successful since the platform is full of it. It is also not set in stone what hive exactly wants to be which doesn't help. For all I know, that is what the platform is actually about.
I won't be able to go with that solution as it's important for the project to have most upvotes going to posts that do meet the minimum quality requirements. I also want to keep everything exactly the same for everyone as it makes things less complicated and time consuming for me.
The fact that some posts meet the requirements doesn't allow that many others aren't. I mostly care about the posts that this projects upvotes. Having basic Actifit reports as secondary posts meaning they don't get upvoted would not be an issue.
It's not possible to get a refund but you are always free to sell your shares at any given time. You have 31 shares (incl 1 locked that can't be sold) with a total worth of 114HIVE-6HIVE = 108 HIVE. That are 24 shares based on the current price they are sold at. Since there is no entry fee on shares that are sold by sharholders, it's favorable for buyers to get these over getting them directly from the program so it should not be a problem find one or more buyers in case you do want to sell them. I would write a post or include them when a new level opens up with the shares that are open for sale in there.
I'm sure you understand that basic actifit post simply aren't acceptable and that I'm very reasonable in everything I have done so far with this project. It's pretty much up to you to choose what you want to do from here on out. I wouldn't want you to change your aproach because you feel forced to but rather because it makes sense. Many people make actifit post that have something way more personal to them which makes them suitable for this project.
