First let me say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Hive account@fulltimegeek for the incredibly generous delegation of SP that I have enjoyed for the past few months. All good things must end, and Hive account@fulltimegeek has suspended his delegations through the Stewards of Gondor project to use his SP in a war on trolls.

Second let me say that I have no plans to remove my delegations of SP to Hive account@teamgirlpowa, Hive account@wolfnworbeikood, Hive account@sukhasanasister, Hive account@randomwanderings, Hive account@livesustainably and Hive account@thehumanbot (not to be confused with my own alt account Hive account@humanbot, rather Hive account@thehumanbot is a "charity upvote bot" which is a bot in name only, run by my friend Hive account@sanmi and upvoting good, original posts that he reviews personally, and without taking money for the service).

I do miss my vote slider (the undelegation of SP from Hive account@fulltimegeek has left me voting currently with 197.845 SP) so I undelegated 300SP from my alt account Hive account@beelzebub (previously used to auto-upvote posting from quality users that I like to support) and I reduced my delegation to MSP from 200 SP to 100SP. I will have my vote slider back in a week :)

I have left my 500 SP delegation to Hive account@r-bot in place and I would encourage anyone who wants to support good, undervalued posting to consider delegation to Hive account@r-bot or following the Hive account@r-bot curation trail on steemauto.com. Hive account@r-bot has a team of experienced manual curators (myself included) who upvote good, undervalued posting and good commenting. Hive account@r-bot has a proven track record of voting for a diverse set of authors and posting; it is not a circle jerk operation and 75%+ of the votes going out have been to unique authors monthly. Check the Hive account@r-bot blog for status reports with voting behavior analysis.

EDIT: Big thanks to Hive account@mikepm74 for leaving his own 500 SP delegation to Hive account@r-bot in place as well even though he is in the same boat with SP undelegation through the Stewards of Gondor and all his own SP already delegated out. Mike is looking for support for his Hive account@thefreshfive curation initiative which curates the #introduceyourself tag. Check out his post:

This is our kingdom!

This Steward has not left the Kingdom! I plan on keeping up the same activities that earned me the delegation in the first place, I was not a self-voter before the delegation nor will I be afterward. I will work toward supporting quality posting on Steem blockchain to the best of my ability to include of course my own creative shenanigans. I will continue to delegate out the majority of my own SP and thank Hive account@fulltimegeek for providing a shining example; I hope some other major stake-holders step up and recognize how much value was added to the platform through these delegations and start up something similar. I will continue to use the #stewardsofgondor tag where I feel appropriate.

All the love - Carl
