I like the "quality content" feature. A simple video link isn't much effort into steemit I think. 

#steemsilvergold in the body of the post and title maybe should be mandatory for a vote?

I'm gonna vote for whatever u wanna do Pheli, you're the master of this project and putting the time in to help us lowly stackers. I'll upvote 100 % and send the bot $ from time to time regardless of what it gets me. Keep up the good work!

Putting #steemsilvergold will force steemit to put #steemsilvergold as the first tag, so no need to search body for it. I discover this when creating my 750 followers post.

I don't expect to get an upvote from the
silvergoldbotty bot if I'm posting a pretty scenic picture of the blue ocean for a blue colorchallenge day. If I'm posting about the Mayweather fight, or an NFL football game, or anything else that's totally not related to silver or gold, then I'm not expecting an upvote, not an automated upvote from
silvergoldbotty. 

I would like in upvote if I'm posting good content article about silver or gold.


I would simply use weighted levels to the point where we're Distributing at least one penny per vote.  At an 80% level. 

I don't think the amount of support that we give to this bot should determine our voting level. We are not trying to exclude people and we're also looking to gain members who can provide interest in quality content. So I suggest not using any kind of support level distribution.

Here's what I think.  

Regarding voting levels: those are a good idea but will be difficult to maintain.  If someone sends 10 SBD today and then does nothing, including does not actively participate in the community or support the bot with upvotes for the next 12 months, you'd be wasting your VP on them at 50% that entire time.  If you re-calculate the levels regularly then it'll work but you'll have to code that in, which isn't that simple of an algorithm to tweak.

Regarding 100% voting: That's not doable unfortunately. One way to fix the issue the bot's been having is to have voting take place at intervals and should multiple posts be made by the same author in that interval, the vote can be broken up accordingly.  Another way is to think of the bot as a curation-for-profit bot and have it upvote at the 30 minute mark with the weight adjusted to fit with maximum bot profits.  That's not great for the sakes of the community unfortunately.  The last way I'm thinking is to do what randowhale does, and cut the bot off at a set point to let it cool down.

This is all ab bit outside my level of expertise but I do think the overriding criteria should be driven by quality and effort applied.

How do I know if I'm actually a member of #steemsilvergold even though I use the tag to post and comment quite regularly?

I think that it should be on quilty post. I also think that as a group if we supported each other then the bot would be an extra bonus. I also think that we need to go through the membership list and clean it up. If they are on our list and are not making at least one post a week about precious metals, then they need to be removed. I am sure that we have some dead memebers. Then most of all we need to vote each others post. The @silvergoldbotty us a great tool, but if you dont support it, then it should support you. Man I could go on and on, we need each others support, we need comments. Most if all we need to help the new members. This is my take on support the bot and be support by the bot. Guys and gals its real simple here is how you support the bot

I dont know how the voting bot works but do whatevers easiest, Im sure it can be an impossibe minefield to work out percentages etc.  I woud make sure the membership list is full of silver and coin enthusiasts and make the reward votes equal.  

The bot could throw out a random full vote once a week or month to a recognised member that has contributed the most to either a post or comment, maybe the bot could make a post of the week/month and we all vote and the winner gets a 100% vote on their vote comment so as a group we get a say in who gets a good reward for their efforts, runner up could get a 50% and so on.

If the bot needs recharging as a group we could excersise a slow week where we all reduce posts to give it chance to recharge and so on.  Those in this for the long term will gest the get rewards whatever happens.

I also think it should be on of the content of a post. Its a hard one because there are so things you can do. 
Different levels would be a yes. How the split them, im not sure!!

Would i can offer the group is help to arrange the levels through the group's Discord server. Me, @phelimint and @guiltyparties can all adjust members roles on the channel. This means we can have different membership levels displayed so each member will know where they are. We could also keep a membership list there and i might look into a registration for the bot to make sure new member's are committed to the group before getting upvotes. Pheli can PM me whens all been sorted and i'll make whatever changes are needed.

I'm not sure how a bot can distinguish what is and is not a quality post, but what I think should definitely be excluded is the following:

1.  "Guess Where XYZcoin Will Close Today" contests
2.   Simple video links
3.   Posts bitten by the Cheetah

I think voting on quality content from members at a low level is solid because many active members of #steemsilvergold have pretty broad and far ranging interests other than PMs and it's cool to support those folks in their other hobbies that don't necessarily involve silver or gold. 

I also think the 3-4 levels of vote weight are solid for differing levels of contribution/delegation. 

And I wrote in @guiltyparties for witness a day or 2 ago! Hoping to see him make that list soon!

How 'bout members "call" the bot to good posts?

Just like how you can call @originalworks bot to your own post, members could include "@silverbotty" in their comments to add a level of "hey look at this" to the bot. For each use of "silverbotty" the group could decide which posts have the cuisine that reigns supreme, and thus, receive the heavier upvote.

After nearly 2 months on Steemit,  I still have no idea how it all works, but am happy to go with what ever is decided.
