RE: My etiquette rules for voting at Steem

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

I try to vote by hart, and offcourse I vore for friends its a two way street. And My 8y old Son @colpowercoll he needs upvotes and resteems aswell But you can only do so much. But do you ever vote or curate bad content because you think the newbie just doesnt know yet? To help I mean?
And does resteeming earn money? And than for the author or the resteemer?

No, generally I would not vote for bad content.

If I see bad content and feel like helping, I would write a comment with suggestions for improvements. It has happened some few times, but it's not really my cup of tea. Some very few times I've flagged articles and come back with a comment. I believe once it was an article bashing the Bitcoin Cash project, my problem with the article was that it was only rants, ad-hominems and ad-verecundiam. If he would be "fixing the issues" by removing all the logical fallacies and personal attacks, there wouldn't be any post left! I was flagging the article and very politely commenting on my issues with the article as well as promising to remove the flag if the issues were fixed. It actually worked - the article got edited and I had to change the flag to an upvote!

Except for that, I do have a tendency to give an upvote whenever I'm commenting, so it may be that I will upvote with some some few percent even if I don't like the article.

And resteeming does it earn money and if YES for the author or the resteemer

Resteeming gives no direct rewards for anyone, but it may give an article more exposure.

Say that person A wrote an awesome article, but he has no followers, so almost nobody reads the article and almost nobody votes for it.

Then comes B, which has a lot of followers, he gives a vote to the article and resteems it, and as a result the post will get lots of upvotes.

Both A and B will win on this, A will get author rewards from all the upvotes given by the followers of B, and B will gain curation rewards.

Got it 😉👍
