RE: @curie has supported you - You might want to consider a witness vote!

in #curie6 years ago (edited)

I found out I've been voted 3 times (I thought there were 2, I may have missed one). Still very grateful to them as the last one came in a moment of discouragement and may have kept me here. Came to a community trying to keep a standard and thinking that trying my best might be enough, but then the trending page and continuous bid bots, and all the wars. I came along with a more naive mindset and I confess I got a little discouraged when being aware that trying my best might not be enough on this playfield , so for that encouragement I'm grateful. Thanks for the gentle reminder but I have already voted NOT because of appearing on this list (which I think might not be in my humble opinion a good idea to encourage newbies to do so). Still I want to say that many newcomers take their time to vote, as I recently myself started to understand what witnesses do and so on. I attended some pannels and just barely starting to undestand things better. I just got aware yesterday of the drop when I was stumbling with all the "curie stories", which I think is a fortunate campaign. I have done my research and that's the reason I encouraged myself to vote (also for ocd). No offense intended but some users may feel pressured, everybody need to do their own research and understand what or why they vote.

Well done on the votes :)

Yes, people should certainly research before they vote, but I've had remarks like 'I didn't know @curie were a witness' today, so a 'gentle' reminder worked in that case.

I've spent a lot of time apologizing and upvoting the angry and abusive comments, sorry for not giving you the response your message deserved.
