New Accounts That Need Help?

source
We have all been here and at least we knew we had enough Resource Credits to not really have to worry. I just feel sorry for anyone having this problem and is a genuine new account and not an alt. Imagine being excited about starting something only to be told you can't do anymore.

During the week whilst curating the Hive account@sportstalksocial community I came across one account who was new and popped in to check the history. These days we are so used to having alt accounts from other users one can never be sure but this was different and a genuine newbie. This wasn't the case as Hive account@johnvonbob just stood out like hey I am a newbie and one could see by the voting and how he was joining many communities. Something tells you immediately they have no clue and kind of stand out telling you that this account is brand spanking new.

I popped in today to check on him and was a bit shocked to see the guy can't do anything for 3 days as the resource credits were low. We have all been there maybe not in dire straits like this as imagine doing a post and a few votes and being told that is it for the next 4 days. In the past new accounts received the 15 HP which was paid back and got you going at least. I struggled in the very beginning but it was never this bad. If we are going to grow Hive and keep new users this can never happen.

I know Hive account@leofinance helps new accounts and this one was done via Hive account@eccency and had no idea accounts were let loose with no HP or very little. If Hive and the tribes are going to grow we have to provide the basic tools to exist as this place is hard enough to understand and grow. Imagine being left in the bush without a knife as you would last 5 minutes and new users are the same. If we want to grow as a community we have to at least offer basics for growth.

I delegated 100 HP earlier as I just couldn't let this happen and thankfully the resource credits are up and he can continue again. I just put myself in that situation saying that could be me starting out and that is just not right. I must admit I have started to look out for anyone that needs resource credits as without that you can't do Jack. I don't mind delegating and will look after 20 new accounts if there are others out there needing assistance. I am sure there are others out there who feel the same way as this is not something I am happy seeing.
