News Updates:

Leased SP For @ub-sub1

I donated another 10 Steem to lease more 500 SP to @ub-sub1, it has not been taken up as at the time of posting.

Pause In New Membership

Our pioneer member @blueeyes8960 asked me a question because she was about to do a post promoting the community and encouraging people to join us as she has always done. I would hope she wouldn’t mind if I quote her comment here as it is of great importance to the community and my response will help us understand the need to take action soonest for the benefit of all members.

@blueeyes8960’s comment: “@ketcom I was working on another post to advertise for @upvotebuilders, but I don't know if you want me to or not if you are thinking about a freeze on new members. I thought the point was to get new members so that the upvote power would grow for all of us. Let me know if you want me to hold off on the post.”

@ketcom’s response: “Hello @blueeyes8960, thanks a lot for your efforts to growing the community. You have always promoted it and it is highly appreciated. Yes, the goal is to get more members so that it increases our SP which in turn makes our VP more rewarding. But the reality is that we have a lot of members on the lower tier membership i.e 100 (20%) and down, while everybody is appreciated in reality the more members we have that are not of higher tier membership 250 SP (35%) and above, the more it becomes a burden on our VP. 10 members on 100 SP delegation contributes 1000 SP, they'll each receive 20% upvote (200%) meaning our VP is reduced by 4% to deliver that while 2 members delegating 500 SP contribute the same 1000 SP, but they'll receive 45% upvote each (90%) and our VP is reduced by 1.8%. As you can see from the analysis, we are growing in numbers but not in SP such that it is sustainable. So, having new members will be great if they are of top level membership because that will build our SP to deliver good returns. But increasing lower level membership is not building our SP in such a way that it can be sustainable at the moment. I honestly do not want to stop anyone from joining because what I desire most is that the community helps us all to grow. But the reality of how Steem works as regards SP and VP is something we have to consider. Pausing of membership or only allowing a certain membership level to join I hope will not be a permanent thing, but an opportunity to let the community grow i.e. via curation received, membership upgrades and probably the Steem curation change to come. I really hope you do understand. Thanks.”

A decision hasn’t been taken yet, I am still weighing the options.

Membership Upgrade

Some members have been kind enough to upgrade their membership by delegating additional SP to their current delegated SP. This is really helping to grow the community SP which in turn grows the value of our upvotes.

Membership SP delegation will help reduced our reliance on leasing SP. Help us grow this community to encourage the content creators that are poorly rewarded through the upvote value they receive. So we need the big time delegators to join us and reap the benefits available for all members.

Upvotebuilders Animated Banner

If you’ll like to use our banner to further promote the community in your post, here it is below, we always appreciate your effort in growing the community.

Posts And Mentions

We are extremely grateful to members that have been spreading the word about the community through their post and mentions. This is indeed helping to promote and advertise the community to a broader audience. Your efforts are much appreciated as this is cheaper than using bid-bots.

Membership Status

We currently have 85 members with a total delegated SP of 12,645 SP, we leased 2,250 SP and 3,500 SP from a free sponsor. Our members SP is getting bigger than the leased SP, this is very good and we hope it skyrockets soon. You can check out all the details on the table below. Please remember that the early bird gift starts counting from the day of launch of this community.

Membership

Membership @upvotebuilders is by DELEGATION ONLY, it is not a paid for community. If you want to sponsor the community you can freely delegate SP to us and specify that it is for sponsorship or you can send us Steem/SBD to lease more SP. Our sponsors don’t receive upvotes from the community account except they specifically want to be a member and also sponsor the community in the way they feel best for them.

To join just delegate SP to @upvotebuilders based on the membership level you want to belong to according to the chart below

Membership Delegation Levels

Level 1: 10 - 49 SP delegation - 5% voting weight
Level 2: 50 - 99 SP delegation - 10% voting weight
Level 3: 100 - 249 SP delegation - 20% voting weight
Level 4: 250 - 499 SP delegation - 30% voting weight
Level 5: 500 - 999 SP delegation - 45% voting weight
Level 6: 1,000 – 2,499 SP delegation - 60% voting weight
Level 7: 2,500 – 4,999 SP delegation - 75% voting weight
Level 8: 5,000 – 7,499 SP delegation - 90% voting weight
Level 9: 7,500 and above gets you 100% voting weight

All membership delegation levels will receive one upvote daily (every 24 hours) this is to curtail abuse of the system. You can always increase, decrease or undelegate to @upvotebuilders at any time and we will adjust your voting weight accordingly.
