SteemIt FAQ? WTF?
Yesterday I was reading a very interesting post written by @drakos, in which he suggested people to read the FAQ. Up until that moment, I didn’t have a clue that SteemIt actually had a FAQ, although I had been wondering why there was no clear handbook on how to use SteemIt that was provided by the platform itself.
I can almost hear you rolling your eyes...
“Of course there’s a FAQ list”.
I can’t blame you... After all, I’ve been hanging around on SteemIt almost every day for the last 4 months.
How on earth could I have missed there was a FAQ-section?
I guess I got in and bumped into the right posts at the right time, because it didn’t take me very long to figure out how SteemIt worked and what I was supposed to do or not to do. Maybe it’s because I’m me. I don’t mean to sound cocky, but I’m a friendly, polite girl who knows how to behave and I seem to have a talent to pick things up quickly.
SteemIt’s popularity has gotten a huge boost these last couple of weeks. Scrolling the ‘SteemIt’ tag stream, you can see that the number of new users has gone up significantly. I can’t even count how many posts I’ve come across in which people ask for help on how to get started. To be honest, if I see these posts have some comments already, I simply don’t open them anymore. If there’s one that has been ignored and has no comments yet, I try to give some good advice, but there’s such a lot to explain that I often don’t know where to start.
Finally I can tell people to go read the FAQ to find the answers to their question.
What a huge timesaver this will be :0)
I haven’t had the time to read all of it yet (it’s quite a long list), but I already know loads of people didn’t read the FAQ either and are violating the SteemIt rules without knowing (or without giving a f**).
Just to give you an example: we all know that copy/paste content is considered as spam. Just like we all know that comments in which people do not contribute to the conversation but still ask for a follow are considered to be spam too.
What I didn’t know is that ‘Posts that require upvotes to enter or play in a contest or game’ are also considered as spam. I don’t think I every ran into a contest or a game that didn’t require an upvote to enter...
Literally everything is covered in this FAQ-section.
