Introducing the ShowCase Sunday Community!

Originally created by @nonameslefttouse who has given me permission to use his idea for a community, I decided to create one and give him some rights whether he likes it or not.

I don’t want to blather on about the community, how it’s going to change the world, bring around an end to the CorovaVirus, or any other kind of blatant promises that are lies but feel free to use it and **’READ THE RULES’**

I’m not lying about that intelligent code, they will find you and…

<center>***…’just get on with the damn content will you?’…***</center>

Today’s Showcase Sunday post was originally authored on the 30th May 2018. I had been on STEEM for almost 3 months and was already voicing my opinions strongly.

Reading this again does make me chuckle. If you're going to comment, then vote my post.... ***you twat!***

<center>***…’I wouldn’t have dared to say it so brazenly in those days’…***</center>

I had just discovered a certain @tarazkp who partook into the comments and added his opinion. If you had more than 500SP then, you were in the 1% group of top stakeholders!

It shows what a difference the chain was compared to now. I noted @tarazkp’s wallet size and positively drooled at the massive votes he was handing out.

Could I ever attain that level? Not a chance. Yet today we are quite similar in stake size. Perseverance can pay off, and you need to work at things if you want to see the gold.

@mysearchisover who received a plethora of flags for self-voting comments and buying votes in the past 6 months is doing what he does best here. 

<center>***…’self-voting his own comments on my post that is criticising that very point’…***</center>

I notice today he still cannot contain himself from self-voting his own comments, /facepalm.

STEEM was probably around $3 per token when this was published. How things have changed. 

The original post did well and gained a reward of $12 which was unthinkable for me at the time. It can be found [here]( https://steemit.com/steemit/@slobberchops/if-you-re-going-to-comment-up-vote-me-dammit).

Below is a copy of post with a little tidying up.

Yes this is a bit of a gripe and a moan and groan, but as the title says show some appreciation for the author. 

I have written something that is unique to planet earth, so if you're going to pay a visit and comment then up-vote the article.

I don’t care if you contribute $0.00 as your vote, it really doesn’t matter. I would love votes of $10 each from everyone, but even $0.00 shows that you appreciate the author and the work, and that’s what counts with me.

We are not all whales or dolphins, in fact, according the a recent [article]( https://steemit.com/steem/@tarazkp/are-you-a-steem-1-percenter-do-you-know-who-is) I read from @tarazkp, anyone who has more than 500SP is in the 1% bracket of wealthy Steemians. 

Technically 99% of people viewing my post will have less than 500SP if this is true, but it doesn’t matter…., I’m repeating myself now.

While I’m at it, another thing that is annoying is self-up-voting on comments. I don’t mean posts; I mean your own comments.  As far as posts go, yes I do self-up-vote my own posts but I also shell out a lot of votes to others as well.

@shanibeer mentioned in a recent [article]( https://steemit.com/voting/@shanibeer/thoughts-about-voting) that she is very choosy on who she up-votes. 

![Self-Vote.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaFxHNJZi35iMsqnBJCB14wtMpALKVSwhQBdowWZaM8HY/Self-Vote.JPG)

If your self-voting percentage is >10% then don’t expect a vote she says. Mine is currently at 8.16%, but never breaches 10%. There has been a lot said about self-voting recently so I’ll leave it there. We all make our choices.

@shanibeer does come and visit me sometimes, so I think I’m still in her good books 

What instigated this article is a certain Steemian who visited my blog recently, commented and didn’t up-vote. I checked this person’s self-vote percentage and it was almost 94%. 

I won’t name names, or point fingers, but if this person thinks I don’t notice, then they need to think again and start sharing the votes.  Suffice to say, they didn't get my vote.

I’m aware that everyone has their own opinion about these things, and you can do what you like, but people will notice your behaviour and may change their stance toward you if you don’t adhere to what their perception of good etiquette is.

So my personal rules are:
 - I will never comment on a post without up-voting it. 
 - I always up-vote comments if reciprocated.
- If you don’t up-vote my post but comment, I may reply but don’t expect an up-vote.

I’m not a self-righteous bigot. Do what you like on Steemit, but expect people to notice if you don’t behave. It’s really your choice.

<H4>My thought's on this post from the Jurrasic Period</H4>

Well Damn..., I was the bossy bugger after just **THREE** months, but the responses I gained were almost all positive. 

In today’s world, I vote most comments if they are decent. I **DON’T** expect you to reciprocate.

The ‘*curve*’ has made it difficult to comment vote, so save your voting power for other people's posts.

I knew just a few other people at the time. @steevc, @daan, @bozz and @shanibeer may remember it, but otherwise, it will be new to you.

Stay tuned for another spectacular special edition next Sunday. 

Are you going to showcase one of your gems? 

If so, use the '**Showcase Sunday**' community (@hive-103425). The more comical and out of date the better!
