I am writing this post to catch the attention of others and that they will do the same. Inspired by @derekareith for making the very first voting declaration.
August 11, 2016. I hereby Signed this Memo containing the details on how I use my voting power for the benefit of steemit and me.
I WILL UPVOTE if and only if
The post is interesting, true, bold, catchy, and funny.
The post came from the people I follow and the people they promote
The post is not about steemit
The post was tagged using proper tags
I WILL FLAG if and only if
The post is plagiarized
The post was tagged improperly
The post conveys bad message or image for the community.
STANDARDS
I follow 30 min mark in voting
I do mute arrogant, dumb and idiot users. (Freedom of Speech Not Absolute)
If SteemIt would be like facebook soon, then I hope It will be the opposite of facebook now; Abused, Disrespected and Chaotic.
Why would you only vote people that you follow? If the content is good, you don't need to restrict yourself that way...
