RE: Steemit Crypto Academy Update [ September 6th, 2021 #2 ] - Season 4 : Week 1 Courses
Greetings Professor @sapwood,
The increment in the reputation requirement for advanced courses from reputation 60 to 65 is just too much. Gaining reputation between one season and the next isn't that fast. And as we know it's easier to grow reputation from 45-50 or from 50-55, than from 60-65 or from 65-70 or from 70-75. It gets harder as one advances his/her reputation.
Kindly consider increasing the reputation for advanced level by 2, that is from 60 to 62. Perhaps subsequent season by 2 again, i.e from 62-64, and so on. Last season, I actively participated, and I was able to raise my reputation from 60-62. Considering how difficult it is to advance reputation from 60 upwards. Kindly consider my suggestion, it was a pleasure participating last season in the advanced level.
Raising the reputation by a huge 5 in the advanced level seems just too much. And I was here last season, actively participating. I want to grow with this community, and I'm sure other authors that are in similar situation like myself want to grow with this awesome community as well. Please give us an opportunity to grow realistically alongside this amazing community, season by season in both sp and reputation.
My Progress last season - I raised my sp from 125 to 665. I raised my reputation from 60-62. As you can see, raising reputation is really difficult, hence increasing reputation requirement by 5 seems just too much. I believe that to make real progress in the entire community, our focus should be more on sp, and that will bring in more investors, and increase the overall growth of this community. Thanks!
(1)Keeping it 65 is an iteration from Season 1 to Season 4. And to give a chance to those users who have been consistently participating and virtually have created an Academic community.
(2) Second, once upon a time users were asking what is the use of 50, 55, 60 or even 70 reputation, we just want to make the reputation as valuable as SP. People should recognize how important is reputation and most importantly whether the reputation has been gained through organic curation or not. In short, we are giving a new lease of life and true justice to PoB, HF21 was ideally implemented to boost organic curation. Steemit Crypto Academy is making that a reality.
(3) Third, @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02 votes are generous, but not unlimited. We have limited resources and we have to manage the entire umbrella of Steemit lead initiatives along with community support programs within the available resources. Creating 10 Tasks in Fixed Beginner Tier will help users to not just become minnows in the earliest possible time but also to make them familiar with the day to day crypto use-cases(particularly those which are necessities), those who participate in Beginner[Fixed] need not have to depend on the CR or any helping hand from their country for the basic use-case of transacting STEEM or TRX with Exchanges(to/fro).
From here on there won't be any huge jump in terms of rep, because we have carefully engineered this framework, taking into account community size.
Keep participating in all the Tasks of Beginner and Intermediate tier, you will soon reach 65, then you will become eligible for Advanced tier, should you own 600 SP alongside.
Thank you.
Thanks!
