Weekly Report as Steem Representative, December 12th to December 18th, 2024

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from India,

This week I was busy with my offline business, giving the final touch to my overseas project starting February 2025., and it was different from last week because I did not find enough contests to participate in. I guess there were a few reasons, like the boom in Steem rates is losing its charm and the new learning season was not yet in play.

Then there was the incident I faced posting my first in the learning challenge and spending a lot of time clarifying the issue, but I am satisfied that the issue is resolved even if not fully.

SLC | S22W1 : Learning Through Play

I wrote another power-up post, adding 300 SP to my wallet, and I am past 42K SP, including the balance yet to be powered up that I intend to power up in a few days.

HWC Contest #103| POWERUP

As I said, the boom in the crypto market is going southward, but I spent a lot of my time on the crypto wallets, decreasing my worth once again. I was not online as much as I wanted to be, but I did enough posts.

In the first week of December, I had started a contest in Traveling Steem but did not get the expected result, so I skipped the contest in the second week.

I posted part 2 of the contest and hope to get a better result this time around. I was expecting more people to exchange gifts with fellow Steemians, but in the first week, there were only two, including me. I am expecting a better result this week, though.

I will continue with the idea in the next weeks of this month, hoping that my fellow Steemians will feel the joy of giving of Christmas and New Year.

Spread the Joy: 2nd Gift Exchange Contest for Christmas and New Year

I hope it works well next time around, and our members enjoy the holiday season, as it’s time to embrace the spirit of giving and celebrating the joy of giving, receiving, friendship, and adding up to the festive mood.

I see everything is normal apart from a few newcomers approaching me with their problems of not getting the approval. I refer their cases to the right authorities for their attention.

I am proud to announce once again that I supported as many newbies as I could through various methods, including setting them as beneficiaries in my posts every week, which helps them stay positive. I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity as moderator and Steem Representative.

For instance, a newbie has been trying her best for the last few months but is still unattended.

As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

As always, I spent time with a couple of newbies on their or my posts. I feel like more and more newbies are getting in touch with me, and that's heartwarming when they are among them as they approach me.

My Newbie Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in my different posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies because my "Newbie Support Program is working well, and I feel good when I see newbies feel motivated and respond happily through their comments.

My selected users

As a routine, I selected the first "newbie," the first beneficiary of the week, @orion40

I selected for this post:

Primer Informe de Progreso en Steemit

Here is my post,

SHRUB THIEF GANG

As usual, I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on her post, and she responded immediately.

My second newbie beneficiary is @ayesha2024.

Her post

Introducing Myself: My Journey, Passions, and Purpose on Steemit

Here is my post:

India Marriage Season

A message on that post, whom I have set as beneficiaries in this post:

I am glad, she responded to my message.

I completed my weekly duty as moderator, which took a lot of my time but had too few travel posts, but mostly diary posts. However, five or six posts from travelers posting their travel experiences compensated for my time and efforts.

Again, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to support them in spreading awareness and pacifying them in case anyone has a problem.

I am still worried about the posts, especially in the diary section, because, as I reported last week, most of these posts do not qualify for diary posts, but as a moderator, I can do nothing but check for plagiarism, CSI, etc.

My power-ups and reward summary

Once again, I am proud to announce that as SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but let me request the authorities once again that the SRs get more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians. I hope the Steem Team will see a point in my suggestion.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

These are my regular posts

Despite all the shortcomings, I have posted daily and kept my club status at 100%. Again, I admit that there are too few 'learning contests' in season 23 within my reach, but I will try to post in as many as possible.

In the end, I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks all; have a nice time ahead.

Yours sincerely
