As we approach 200+ Shadow Casters and are beginning to move from our beta to full production there are a few changes to the internals that need to be rolled out.

Post limiting

In order to fairly handle all our members' posts we will begin limiting your weekly posts to 15. If you post more than 15 we will only submit the first 15 you create each week to the Shadow Queue for up voting by the Pool.

Shadow Rank allocation

Shadow Rank will be heavily weighted toward members with a high Steem Power. We will release an entire description of the changes this week before they go live.

Voting Power

ShadowBot will no longer attempt to maintain your Voting Power above 98%. Many of our members either do not want or do not understand that currently ShadowBot only votes when your Voting Power reaches 100%. We will be implementing a new Voting policy as follows:

Shadow Caster's will place up votes when their Voting Power reaches 100% or if it has been more than 4 hours since the last ShadowBot vote placed, which ever comes first. If you do not allow your Voting Power to recharge fully each day, ShadowBot will simply vote for you every 4 hours regardless of your Voting Power.

These upgrades will ensure EVERY member is getting their fair allocation of votes as well as providing daily votes to the Pool, not just those who conserve their Voting Power properly as it currently is.

Thanks again everyone for being part of this as we grow together! We are confident after seeing the explosive growth the last 2 weeks that these updates will greatly benefit everyone involved! Happy Steeming!
