This weeks post is a little different as we need to start upping our game and I have made some suggestions as a starting point. If you have any other ideas please add them to the comments and lets see what we end up with. Sports people are known as jocks and a little slow so lets prove them wrong as we have brains too.
We are slowly chipping away at the target of 1000 members in the sports community by the end of this year. This week saw another 16 accounts join taking our tally to 911 members in total. Not everyone is active though so that is a little misleading with only 185 accounts doing something this week.
I think we need some sort of chart that we can display each week so we can see at a glance how the community is fairing and maybe start comparing to other tribes to see how well or bad we are doing as a group. Maybe will have some ideas where to find this sort of information as I believe we need something else. I don't have the time to do that type of post and need someone who has the ability to get hold of these figures somewhere. Once we have that it will be easier to see how the community is fairing and what we need to do to improve.
A chart showing who the top token earners are for the week, top curators and top voters with the number of votes etc. Engagement is the key to growth and success and we as a group need to stick our hands up and do more. We all value this community and we need to do something otherwise we are just idling along and not really growing and improving.
OCD has helped tremendously and we need to add to this ourselves and start trying to do 5 comments a day (only a suggestion) at least which is not that much. I have noticed the regular names commenting and would like to see some new faces. I am looking for comments to upvote as the linear curve makes no difference if it is a post or a comment regarding curation rewards.
18 posts were put forward this week to the OCD incubation curation program and received upvotes. Very few took up the challenge of #crazysports so we will leave that for another week incase some missed out. I am looking for the next topic so any suggestions that you might think will be popular pop the suggestions in the comments.
Over the last 11 weeks we have had some great posts by many users and I am hoping the trend will continue to grow. What is still sad to see is the trending page hasn't changed much since the linear curation was implemented. These posts are now tucked away and hidden never to be seen again. If you go and compare Peakd Sports against 's front end they are vastly different as the decent stuff is trending on Peakd Sports. Unfortunately this is not a great advert for bringing in new users as this does not show the best posts and what is good with the community. I Don't blame the users in trending as they have large stake and are well supported and have been here from virtually day one.
Please don't get me wrong this is not a complaining post, but one highlighting what I think needs to change to help the community move forward. I do believe the trending page for Sportstalk can be changed to reflect Peakd with some out of the box thinking, so any ideas would be helpful right now. All suggestions in the comments below please and let us see how good we are working together.
