UPDATE LOG #1

LET US UPVOTE YOU

Wow! It has been a week since our official launch of Team South Africa and the reception has just been amazing! We definitely have a dedicated team that wants to grow, not only themselves, but the community as a whole. It’s incredible to see us South Africans unite! During this past week we’ve seen some real quality posts from our members and have even had some excellent interaction on our Discord server. Kudos to all the kiff Saffas taking part!! Even though Team South Africa is still in its infant stage, we are constantly working in the background to see how we can help each other out as a community. We are busy working on various ways on how to achieve this, but would like to inform you of one of these ways today - so here it goes - drum roll please…

The Hive account@teamsouthafrica account has been setup to place an automatic 10% upvote for all member posts (that contain the teamsouthafrica tag)!¹

Even though our vote does not count for much at this stage, we have also created a curation trail² for Hive account@teamsouthafrica. Hive account@dragonslayer109 has graciously followed the trail with a 1% upvote for everyone! In our next post we will explain how you can also join the curation trail to help support your fellow Saffas 🇿🇦 To have your posts qualify for an automatic upvote, make sure you meet the following criteria:

1. Be an official Team South Africa member
You can confirm if you are an official member by checking if Hive account@teamsouthafrica follows you here. If you are not a member as yet, please see the instructions further down.


2. Use the teamsouthafrica tag on all posts
Make sure that all your posts contain teamsouthafrica as one of your tags. This can even be the last tag. Without this tag, you will not receive an upvote.

Keep your eyes open for our post tomorrow with detailed instructions on how to join our curation trail to show your support to your fellow team members. And remember, we are working on other means to help us support each other too - this is only the tip of the iceberg 😉 So stay tuned for even bigger and better ways that we will be helping each other to support one another!!!

Note to current members

Please contact me so I can arrange to get you your Team South Africa banner (with your name on). I’ll send you the actual "code" you can copy and paste which will add the banner, link it, and credit the author at the same time.

If you are struggling with the banner code, please contact me so I can help you out. If you haven’t joined our Discord chat server as yet - please go here to chat with us and catch up on your other team mates.

¹We will try our utmost to keep this service running but the bot stability/uptime is not guaranteed. The 10% upvote can/may be adjusted down if our voting power falls below 80%. ²The curation trail is run by Streemian - they are liable for the stability/uptime. Current status can be checked here.
