As mentioned on this post, I am starting this weekly AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) series to inculcate interactive learning in the community. While it's true that you may find answers to common questions through an internet search or going to a library, you may find good value (or even better) when you participate in this AMA.
So Why AMA?
Here are my value propositions:
- Right Questions derive the best answers.
- Experience-based answers.
- The Human behind the answers
- Get a chance to interact and expound your questions
These ideas are based from Reddit's AMA guidelines, also from here and here
What is an AMA?
- It's fun like this => I am lordvader ask me anything
- A bit of seriousness from this one => My name is Dr Steve Chapman,I am a Public School Teacher, Ask Me Anything
- It can be technical like this => I am A self-Taught programmer developed my very own Jarvis, called Stephanie, an open source virtual assistant built to control and automate any task, Ask-Me-Anything
- Reddit popularized AMA and have written an extensive guide but I find this definition from https://amafeed.com/i/faq/ very succint!
An AMA, or Ask Me Anything, Event is basically a live interview of a "host." The host creates a headline or topic describing who they are and what they know or what they do – and what they are willing to speak about in the following format:
My name is _____. I am _____ in ____. I like to or I do ____. Ask Me Anything.
As you see the title of this post and following the format above, for this week's session, the headline/topic will be about being a witness. Additionally, I will also entertain questions related but not limited to:
- The Steem blockchain
- Steemit platform
- Account security
Usually, and in cases for the 2 sites i have mentioned, the community/participants will vote for the questions to be answered by the host, however for my sessions, first question asked, first question answered.
What are The Rules?
To prevent untoward behaviors and to ensure a fruitful AMA, the host strictly enforce the following rules:
- You need to have a verifiable STEEM account and have posted a blog at least once. The host reserved the rights to ask for your account during the session. (as much as i love to answer all your questions, spamming and nuisance will not be tolerated)
- The host may record (screenshots) conversations, questions and discussions during the session for record purposes and/or for posting a weekly after-activity-post
- To encourage a meaningful AMA and to maximize the available time, the host may ignore questions not related to the topic set above or the subject for the week's session.
- First question asked, first question answered. Follow-up question may be entertained depending on the volume of questions at that time.
- The host may ignore questions and remove users during the session in accordance to the rules set forth.
- By joining this AMA session, you as a participant agrees to the rules above.
