All Aboard!, New passengers announcement and more exciting news for everyone!

in #ecotrain5 years ago


It's been an exiting day for me as I made my final decisions on the new passenger list! It's never easy choosing passengers from so many amazing Steemians, but my decisions were made easier by looking at how engaged you all are with the Steem community. The most important factor in the ecoTrain is that we are involved with each other and engage, comment and participate with the group. If you have asked to be a passenger and are not on the new passengers list, the most likely reason is that you are not engaged enough! These days just posting amazing content is not enough, that's what websites are for ;+).

So without further ado I would like to welcome the following people as passengers on the ecoTrain, you are all very special individuals, and i know that you will all become such valued members of the ecoTrain. I am honoured that you chose to join us and help with our mission of making Steem, and this world, a better place!


AND WELCOME TO THE ECOTRAIN

NEWS UPDATE / DELEGATION / ECOTRAIN PASSENGER REQUIREMENTS

First off I am extremely please to announce that my biggest delegators have agreed to wave any need for rewards! So a huge thank you to the following people for delegating so that we can curate and support people who add great value to Steem.

If you are delegating to @ecoTrain then you will no longer receive rewards as the EcoTrain voting bot has been switched off! So thank you to our delegators:

@amitgiat @artemislives @lukestokes.mhth @blueberrybison @evolutionnow @havok @hopehuggs @mrfunkymonk @nainaztengra @omdemian @sashagenji @senorcoconut @stillgideon @stortebeker @thelaundrylady @torico

This is fantastic news and means that the @ecoTrain account with around 11,000SP will shift back to manual voting of posts that use the #ecoTrain tag




I would like to say a special thank you to @artemislives for helping me to curate and guide my votes. She is spending a LOT of time reading and engaging with you, and I am following her voting trail so when @artemislives votes for you, so do I and the @ecoTrain account.

I would also like to thank @trucklife-family for her support and help in so many ways, not least in creating the weekly ecoTrain magazine

PASSENGERS AND FRIENDS PLEASE READ THESE REQUIREMENTS

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY

If you are a passenger or a friend and want to get upvotes from a combined 15,000SP then there are some important things you need to follow. I have made a lot of effort to get this delegation back, and have also sacrificed any profits on my vested Steem to curate and encourage you. I heave learned that we need to have at least some kind of exchange, and guidelines so that the ecoTrain continues to run in a way that fulfils its goals.

1. Anyone who posts content using the #ecotrain tag will be considered for upvotes. The focus of our upvotes is on our passengers, but is not exclusive and we will also support and upvote you who if you post the right kind of content... AND

2. If you are just posting and not engaged with the ecoTrain or the Steem community you will not receive upvotes. Engagement is so important on Steem, and I am now focused on it as being the most important factor as to whom we support. We have plenty of websites and blogs to share knowledge, Steem is a social network!

3. To become a passenger you need to delegate a minimum of 100SP** to @eco-alex. This is a very small amount when compared to the upvotes you will be receiving. Your delegation helps us to grow and for me to keep supporting you!

What else do you need to know?

  • We ask a maximum of 4 posts a week tagged 'ecotrain'. You can post less, and if you want to post more than that you can choose the ones you want to feature on the ecoTrain and tag them as your primary category. By doing this we limit the total number of posts to a number that our entire train produces, so that we can all really read and engage with them.

  • We do have a discord channel, and we use it sparingly for basic communications and some chit chat. You would be added to that group as a passenger and can then keep up with any organising or questions or challenges. We do need you to keep an eye on this so that we can keep the community spirit alive.You can join our discord group at: https://discordapp.com/invite/sxpEPJc

  • We hope you will ALL join us for the upcoming Question Of the Week and a new ecoTrain Earth Challenge

I can't wait to see what you all bring to Steem!

That about wraps it up. Please let me know in the comments if you saw this so I know you are truly on board!

Wow...Thank you so much @eco-alex, truly honoured to be on the list. I loved reading about kirtan and innernet on @naturalmedicine post. Indeed, the innernet is far more effective and efficient and have witnessed myself too. Inside matters most coz outside is the product of inside. And for me, #meditation lets me access that insight and inner wisdom by unconditioning the mind. Once again, grateful to be passenger on @ecoTrain & thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. Look forward to sharing and learning the inner journey on @ecoTrain. 🧘🏼‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️

How’s Japan @metametheus? I was there 12 years ago and loved every bit of it - particularly humble, honest and very respectful culture and people 😊

OMFGs. 😱

All I can say is wow.

Posted using Partiko iOS

That's so cool: Exactly 12 years ago I was in Japan too! Lived there for a year: Shiojiri-shi, Nagano-ken. It was a fantastic experience. Which part of Japan where you in @bewithbreath?

That i...is cool @stortebeker. We were in few places including 3 days in Toyama, 3 days in Tokyo, a couple of days in Sendai and Nara.

japan! oh wow, one day i HOPE to visit! what are you doing there?

Family trip.... the main reason is to sate my daughter’s Japanophilia (is that a word?)

It’s wonderful place, culture and people @eco-alex

It’s wonderful place, culture and people @eco-alex. Ours was mainly a romantic trip ❤️😄- we were still newlyish married then and had few friends living over there so took the opportunity 😊

Posted using Partiko iOS

This is wonderful having you part of the EcoTrain! Double wahoo!

Thanks for keeping me on board. Mission Steemit and more engagement forthcoming. I love you guys <3

Hugs. Enjoying having you around with all you share.

With addition of so many wonderful passengers, ecotrain is more enriched now. Hope to see many more wonderful and valuable contributions throughout its journey!

So, basically don't over-post (quality instead of quantity), instead get engaged with what others have posted. I'm certainly down with that.
Welcome to all new passengers! :-) Looking forward to reading your posts!

well summarised!@ ;_x

Great summary...

Congratulation
Awesome work @eco-alex
Earth will be happy ☺
Nature will feel proud 👍👌

cool! love the revamped system of upvoting that anyone is eligible with quality content within the ecotrain parameters. love to see the new life breathed into ecotrain. great work eco-alex :)

Thanks! And now curation of friends and non-passengers will improve as tribesteemup just onboarded nearly all the ecotrain passengers! :) nice surprise for them!

Enjoying the engaged, contributing community & really liking the slight shift in focus. Happy to support and enable others, in the way @ecotrain has enabled me since way back when I had a rep score of 32 and less than 50SP. 💚 Congrats to the new passengers & especially love & kudos to our fwd thinking, open hearted train driver. Much gratitude.

Hey @eco-alex thanks for getting me onboard. I am quite happy to see my name up there in the new passenger list. Feeling great👍.
And rightly said. Engagement is key to Steem success, frankly I do believe in this mantra and have been very active....last few days I am bit low on it but soon you will see me up on the chart......

hi @eco-alex !

@anttn

This is so exciting and it means a lot to me to see the ecotrain relaunch with such a wonderful group of Steemians!
Looking forward to the new EcoTrain Earth challenge and the QOTW (they are the best!)

LOL you use bid-bots too man? Unbelievable level of hypocrisy up in TSU I was pretty sure that was one of the main rules, that you can't buy votes... I am honestly glad Kenny kicked me out 🤣Only a matter of time before he kicks you and everybody else out.

You’re an idoit please move on

Idiot*

This is really amazing, I love what your community is doing and I'm super inspired by you @eco-alex.

Much of my life is devoted to making this world a better place and really I decided to make it my life's goal to help heal this planet after learning about permaculture and seeing all the solutions that we have available to us but are being hidden and masked by the mass media.

I wish I had more time to devote to posting content and engaging with the community here more so I could be a passenger of the ecoTrain but I am currently developing a hemp farm and trying to put together a business while juggle trying to make it as permaculture as I can when I'm only 1/4 of the ownership. The others dont really "get things" the way that I do so its hard to make a solid impression and get people on the same page as me.

Anyhow I will still be engaging as much as I can while posting valuable regenerative content at least once per week as I have just commited to doing weekly permaculture series called True Permaculture which I will be posting to the ecotrain and earthtribe.

Again thank you @eco-alex for inspiring me to share my regenerative progress with the steemit community.
