We also hope to continue to give support to the Make Noise project…
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.
Individual authors (including Admins, Mods and Community Accounts) should not receive more than two @booming votes per week from any single community.
Please would the leader of each selected community confirm acceptance in a comment below and include their contact details (Discord / Telegram).
Improving Communities
There are many factors that go into making a successful community.
These have been discussed at length in previous posts.
The one area we would like to highlight this time where a significant number of communities fell short was moderation.
Through the Engagement Challenge particularly communities have developed very effective and standardised methods for giving moderation comments to posts.
Many communities have adopted this approach very effectively for all posts - not just for the Engagement Challenge.
We would like to see more of this. In fact we believe good communities should moderate and comment on every post.
This sort of active moderation will definitely help communities grow and improve.
We will be taking this very much into consideration as we continually review the support given to different communities.
The other factor that we would mention again is key ownership.
For a community to grow, and be fully trusted, all the keys need to be held by more than one person.
This will go some way to help prevent the unfortunate incidents where some very large communities were closed down suddenly and all the funds in the community accounts were extracted by a single community admin or founder.
We are planning to take a much more active role monitoring and reviewing the communities receiving @booming support.
Any communities not performing well, or not following guidelines, may have their support reduced or dropped altogether.
Likewise communities that show significant improvement and growth may have their @booming support increased.
We hope the selected communities will make good use of the Booming Support.
We look forward to seeing continual progression and development of all communities.

Thank you
The Steemit Team
