It's been a while, in fact I think this may be the first time as @ssg-community account operator, that I have called for a community vote on a matter raised by a member. You see, as one of the first true communities set up, and following the COMMUNITY GUIDELINES as laid down during our conception, when a member wishes to raise some changes, its down to the community to vote and decide if this is the direction we want to head in.
One of the founder members, actually he was the brains behind and creator of the @ssg-community account, has asked the community to vote on a few issues - read his original post

To save you some time, although I do highly recommend reading his full post fir context, here are the 2 main proposed chsnges:
Policy #1 – Tag Qualification and Enforcement
The Tag used by members on STEEM and HIVE has always been a central part of how the community collates its content to promote precious metals and communicate publically. Tag Qualification is about setting up ssg-community to only vote on subscribing members posts which use the #SilverGoldStackers tag. The idea here is to focus the upvotes (and thus financial incentive) on content that is relevant to stacking precious metals and/or the community itself. The Tag Enforcement is about ensuring that only relevant content is posted to the tag. I’m proposing that people who post to the tag with content that is not about precious metals or this community would first have a couple of warnings and then have their ssg-community vote removed, or for repeat offences even be downvoted. This policy would ensure that ssg-community once again promotes and incentivises only the content relevant to the community it was intended to serve.
Policy #2 – Vote Allocation Accrual
In the beginning ssg-community gave out a daily vote to subscribers. Now I believe it is 7 votes in 7 days. It still requires (on average) a daily post for subscribers to get a good ROI. What I am proposing here is that instead of getting say a 10% vote every day, if you don’t post for 3 full days then your vote allocation accrues and you will get a 3 x 10% = 30% vote (capped at 100%). This won’t really affect hard core community members who post daily anyways, but some of the less active members will be able to get involved and receive value from subscribing to @ssg-community. Not everyone can write about precious metals or the community every day so this policy will allow a much more flexible post frequency for subscribers and it might help entice a few members back into the fold who we’ve lost over the last 2 years because life has gotten too busy to post daily. The content of those members is still valuable and has been missed.
It is also proposed that due to my lack of coding/computing skills, @buggedout has offered to help me out and run the technical side of the bot on my behalf. I will still be the first point of call for troubles with the @ssg-community account, I will still be "in charge" of day-to-day running and you can all still come directly to me if you have any problems. But for complete transparency, as community members, you still need to be informed of any back-room changes. This part won't effect you in any way, shape or form, it just means that the agreed account discount will be split between buggs and myself in a 50/50 split. A small fee of $5 (PCM) will be required to pay for the server the new account coding will be set up on as we will be migrating away from using #hive's own voting trail to incorporate the programing necessary to include (should you agree) the proposed changes above.

There will be 2 comments below this post which will be a simple “YES – I support this Proposal For Change” and “NO – I reject this Proposal For Change” and we ask you, the members of the #silvergoldstackers community to place a nominal vote on one of these comments to indicate your preference. Voting will be open for 72 hours (3 days) from the posting of this Proposal For Change. COMMENTS ARE WELCOME, BUT IT'S THE UPVOTES THAT COUNT AS VOTES.

I hope that this post makes sense and that as members you understand what is being asked of you? I'm always available for a chat, and can be contacted directly here in the comments or by simply sending me a DM on discord.
FOR FULL DISCLOSURE - I (welshstacker) fully support these proposed changes, so if this blog has come across in a bias way, please excuse me, I've tried to be as impartial as possible. I will fully support this community in what ever direction you guys want to take it, and as long as you will have me, I happily give my time to help this community grow and prosper.
