Some interesting questions being asked. Some members I’m sure are interested in PMs but for whatever reason don’t post regularly but as long as they’re interacting through comments and upvotes on #steemsilvergold posts is probably as valuable. I’m also all for the cooling off period. If you’ve not at least done a post about why your interested in the community then you shouldn’t be accepted. Like a probation period.
I’m not a fan of the flat 1% vote just for being a member, delegate if can afford to or comment if you can’t to build up some SP. maybe we had a dust membership where SSG can even delegate some SP for 30 days to get a new member going.
