Steemit Update [ December 5th, 2023 ] : Booming Support - Applications Invited

It is now almost six months since the last review and selection of communities to receive @booming support.

There have been many changes among communities since then. New communities have appeared, old ones have declined.

Now will be a good time therefore to undertake another review of the communities receiving @booming support.

Booming Support

Booming support is given through votes from the @booming01-04 accounts which each have 1.5 million Steem Power.

Participating communities are invited to submit the best quality posts each day to receive the votes from the @booming accounts.

Currently communities on Tier 1 of the Booming support can submit 6 posts each day, those on Tier 2 can submit 4 posts, and those on Tier 3 can submit 2 posts

Depending on the number and quality of applications the number of votes for each tier may be changed, or the tiers will be dropped and all selected communities will receive the same number of daily @booming votes.

Individual authors should not receive more than two @booming votes per week from any single community.

• The name of your community, and the name of the community account.

• A list of all Admins and Moderators - including when they joined Steem, or, if inactive for some time, when they restarted, their #club status, and their current amount of own Steem Power.

• Details of who has which keys for the community account.

• A brief description of the purpose of the community.

• Details of how your community prevents plagiarism and abuse.

Communities applying for Booming Support should take special notice of all the points in the ‘Improving Communities’ section of this post…

Selected Booming Communities should make weekly Booming reports showing posts selected each day, and a table showing the number of votes received by each author / account. The reports should also clearly state which Admin or Moderator selected each post nominated for Booming support.

While only a guideline rather than an absolute rule it is hoped Booming Communities will favor #steemexclusive posts from authors following #club5050 or higher.

Application posts can be in any language. They should be made using the Community Account and include the tag #boomingapplication and your country tag in the first four tags.

Existing Booming Communities will need to reapply if they would like to be considered for continued Booming Support.

Applications should be submitted by 11.59pm UTC, on Friday, December 22nd, 2023.

---

We plan to announce the successful Booming Communities by the end of the year.

Selected communities will then receive Booming Support until at least the end of March 2024. Support may be terminated earlier for any communities who fail to follow the guidelines above.

Requests for @booming support will now only be considered through this application process.

We look forward to receiving your applications.

Thank you
