The 4 contributors for Precious the Silver Mermaid have been talking about an idea @gdwcoins commented around a month back. We have been throwing the idea too and fro for a few weeks and have decided that it is time for the community to make a vote.

The Proposed Idea

Do away with the free 1% upvote that every member receives. Bad crypto market means tough times are ahead and we need to make some changes to adopt to that. We propose that there should be a min amount of STEEM POWER delegation made to @ssg-community, aka Precious in order to receive any upvote. Paid level membership donations and delegations will remain unchanged. If you think we would be targeting non contributing members, you are right, there is no back door about it. This may sound harsh but when the crypto market is like it is, we need to be more focused on contributing membership levels. I would also propose that if any changes are voted on by the community, they will come into effect on 1st September.

Voting

In order to keep this as simple as possible, there are 3 options to pick from below. Please vote by commenting with your selection either A,B are C. You can see its a yes/no with 2 amounts of min delegation. If you have an actual comment are feedback, please put your letter first and comment after to make sure your vote is not missed. The voting will last for 1 week and results will be posted up next week, ** WE STRONGLY** encourage every single member of #steemsilvergold to use your vote.

Voting stats will be updated everyday and we would hope you get at least 40 votes for this. I understand that steemit is not as busy but 40 members would represent around 25% of the community.

If there are any questions please ask in the comments are get inot contact with either @silverstackeruk, @raybrockman, @welshstacker are @thedamus on Discord.

Dont forget about the MONSTER RAFFLE

We are still collecting donations and i think we have hit 16 prizes so far after getting caught up today. We have around 6 MS-69 graded pieces, alot of 2 oz coins, a 5oz bar, lots of 1 oz's, some old coinage and a 1 gram gold bar. We are doing ok but time i running low and it would be great if any other member looking to get involved had a dig through there stacks and picked something to offer up for Precious.

All members donating will receive free tickets as a chance to win your own stuff back !!! haha

So far we have given away 35 tickets but we wonna give away more, lots more

I am @silverstackeruk and I approve this post
