FAQ Contest
For the first time ever, Steem Basic Income will do a massive contest of its own, with a pool of 500 bonus units available as prizes. (These bonus units will come out of the available pool of management units.)
Earn points for contributing to a crowd-sourced FAQ! Win SBI bonus units based on the number of points you earn. You do not have to be an SBI member already to participate.
This post contains questions that come from our previous FAQ that was published 9 months ago here:
https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-frequently-asked-questions
- Each of the FAQ questions will be repeated as a top-level comment on this post.
- Submit your clear, accurate answer as a comment in response to the appropriate question.
- You can answer as many questions as you would like.
- @josephsavage will mark each response as accurate (qualifying) or inaccurate (not qualifying).
- If your response is inaccurate, comments for why the answer is not fully accurate will be included, and you can resubmit a revised response.
- You can score each qualifying response (but not your own) for clarity from 1 (not clear or helpful) to 7 (very clear and helpful).
- For bonus points, you may also explain why you gave the score you did.
Categories:
Each FAQ question will be its own category, with answers to it scored separately.
Bonus categories:
Do you think we missed a question that should be answered in the FAQ? Share your Question that you think should be included. If enough members reply that it should be included (or provide answers to the question as provisional contest entries), the question will be officially marked as an additional category.
Points:
Each qualifying answer will receive (up to 7) points based on the average clarity score it receives. Winning answers may be included in the final FAQ.
Participants can receive 1 point for each answer they score, and 2 bonus points if they explain their score. Unexplained scores may be discarded (no points) if @josephsavage has doubts about their authenticity.
If you submit a new question that receives at least 5 supporting comments (agreement that the question should be answered in the FAQ), you will get 4 points for 'creating' the new category, but only if the category receives at least two response submissions. If multiple members submit similar questions, the 4 bonus points will be split among those members at @josephsavage's discretion.
Infographics:
Questions that receive responses with good explanatory infographics can have a regular winner and an infographics winner. The same participant can win written response and infographic points for the same question.
Winners:
Total points will be tallied for each member. The prize pool of 500 bonus SBI units will distributed proportionally to the top 50 participants, based on their total point distribution.
Helpful Hints:
Read the 'Vote Value in Steem Basic Income' series (see helpful reading below). Many of the documents in Helpful Reading may be considered useful. Some things have changed over time. If you see conflicting information, consider the newest resource or explanation to be definitive (or cite both versions in Discord and ask us for clarification).
Write your own answers. If your answer is copy-pasted from previous FAQ, from a Helpful Reading article, or from another member submission, it will be disqualified. Multiple attempts to submit plagiarized responses may result in full disqualification (no points, even from scoring other responses).
Submit your answer to each question as a response to the comment announcing that question category. Links to posts will not be considered valid entries. After you have submitted your answers and had them accepted as accurate, it's a good idea to do your own post telling your followers about the contest, sharing your answers, and reminding them to come enter the contest too!
Deadlines:
Answers are due before payout for this contest announcement. Bonus category answers are due when the top-level comment opening the question as a bonus category reaches payout. Clarity scores are due when the comment from @josephsavage (or @sbi-booster) accepting the response as a qualifying entry pays out.
Effectively, every qualifying answer gets a full week from acceptance for members to score that answer. Keep checking back to see if you can get more points from scoring answers that come in close to deadline!
Points will be finalized after the last qualifying comment submissions reach their deadline.

What is your refund policy? Can I sell back my units?
SBI has had a number of refund frameworks since our inception, and our intent has always been the complete satisfaction of our subscribers. Currently our most comprehensive refund policy yet, which is available to read in full, refunds units through an accelerated upvote schedule. The refund process is final.
Rating 7
While it doesn't give a short summary about the refund policy this answer is so well written and I don't mind this is the one put on the final version.
Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forgot you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
In my humblest of opinions, all links should be relative, like the one in my answer above, and should not point to any specific front end such as steemit, busy or steempeak.
It should be within the technical capability of each condenser to scrub leading characters for any Steem permlink and replace with their own while rendering the page (e.g. Steempeak can replace all Steemit links with Steempeak links). My understanding is that Steemit does not do this (and does not render permlinks without the leading domain as valid links) so we try to use steemit links for our readers to have a better overall user experience.
That said, we usually post our updates through busy.
This is a really interesting answer!
Rating 6 - Happy with this answer and a link in the FAQ, the policy is complex and too much for a simple answer. This does the job.
I rate this a 6 - I would probably be happier if I didn't have to click a link to read more.

6 clarity point
The user needs to go to the link to know about the refund policy but this answer reads so nicely and it's good.
For eligible accounts, the new refund framework will keep enrolled units at a 2 STEEM potential value but will grant a 0.50 STEEM potential to all sponsored units. In effect, the total potential ROI under this framework is 250% for each 1 STEEM enrollment. Refunds would be delivered through an accelerated upvote schedule:
Since our system tracks pending upvote values using rshares, we will deliver the accelerated upvotes through our normal delivery system, by manually removing your units from record and increasing your rshares_balance with any surplus value you are due.

Good job on the summary, this isn't an easy one!
Accurate. We know it's sort of complicated (like everything else SBI, lol!) We try to strike a balance between sustainable, fair, and generous, while preventing excessive abuse. It results in inherent complexity... Our own little three body problem.

The refund policy is pretty difficult to summarize in a few words but you can read the lastest version of it on this post; https://steemit.com/busy/@steembasicincome/sbi-refund-policy-redux
NB: I have my reservations about embedding links for public purposes. Some noobs would not click on embedded links with the fear of it being phishing.

Summarizing with our own words is better than just putting a link to sendusers to. While I agree that it's hard to summarize it well. Saying it's hard to summarize refund policy of all things on FAQ answer doesn't sound encouraging for potential user, does it?
Lol I thought as much 😄

I would score this around a 4 it works but is simple. Putting the link in a better format would also be nice.
Rating 5 - Giving the link is the easiest solution, the policy is complex to explain accurately
Rating 6, imho mentioning the security impact of embedded links is very good. But a summery for the FAQ would be nice

It's better to also summarize the content of the link posted rather than just putting it there for this question.
Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forget you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
I will give this a 3 due to the very short intro and using the link without making it look better.
Rating 5 - the link could be formated with markdown, but the policy is very hard to simplify in an FAQ so a link is probably best.
Rating 4, at least a summary should be included
I rate this answer as 5, a little inside of the post was necessary.

Just giving link isn't a satisfying answer
In summary, the new refund framework states:
You can find more about the refund policy here.
You mean sell your units back to @steembasicincome? I guess I am not clear with this second question.
Rating 6
A great attempt to summarize this stuff. This category isn't the easiest of the bunch.
Accurate. It's okay to be confused by the second question. The answer is no, because units represent a subscription level. Would you call a magazine and ask them to by back your subscription? It would be a ridiculous question.
The question comes from some members getting confused and thinking our shares are an unregistered security instead of a subscription (which would be something you could own and sell back). This is why we are moving toward saying 'units' or 'SBI levels' instead of 'shares', but every term is awkward in it's own unique way.
Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forget you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
I rate this response as 6. The refund policy is tricky to understand but the citation was necessary.
Rating 6 - provides both a summary and the link to a very complex question.
Rating 6, small summery and link to more information
You can read about the new refund policy here
Rating 5
Providing a little summary on the FAQ page would be useful instead of just a link
Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission. Hopefully people will still see to score it, since it is nested under another response instead of directly below the category comment.

Rating 6 - formatting with the link in markdown is neater than other similar responses.
Rated as 5. Could have provided a summary of the post.

Summary on the answer instead of just a link would be better
Rating 4, just a link is not enough
Accurate. We have had only one refund request since bringing everyone's attention to the available options. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
Don't forget you can also earn points by scoring the clarity and helpfulness of other qualifying responses.
Rating 5 - contains more detail than other answers, wording is difficult to follow. Focusing only on 250% potential ROI is oversimplifying the policy, as it could appear from this that you could send 1 steem and then get a refund of 2.5. the policy is much more complex than that.
I give you a 6. Simply explains the policy but in a complex way.
5 clarity point
Good attempt to summarize the post! I thinks it's funny there are 3 points of answer when there's only 2 questions...
I rate this a 7 - Plenty of info without clicking on the link.

I’m hosting a giveaway contest. Do you have a banner I can use?
We think that the best banner to be used is the one made by yourself, expressing your own creativity.
(For example, this is my last self-made banner created with canva.com: I hope it could inspire you! ;) )
Is this one that others are also free to use? I was just reading your latest giveaway post, and thinking that I should do some SBI giveaways on my Actifit updates too (maybe that will motivate me to actually use actifit a little more).
OH YEAH! :)
As stated in the post, my work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
If this is a free to use banner I give it a 7. ;)
Yes, it’s free to use, simply mentioning @amico as creator. 🙏🏼

I give a 6 for the brilliant idea and example. If at all the image has no copyrights attached to it, it's a 7 but I still have some doubts because I don't understand what you meant by licensed to . . . in another comment below.

Cheers! ;)
Rating 6 - there are other banners to use, but marks because I love the banner itself. Maybe a tiny suggestion my friend would be to change "share" to "unit" to fit in with SBI's preferred terminology. Well done @amico.
Oh, thank you very much for the suggestion and for the rating, mate! ;)
5 clarity point
I think this question exists so the user can use a template/standard banner instead of making it themselves and I believe the SBI team has one for asking us to answer this question... The better answer would be a layout for SBI to put that banner. Inspiring users to use their creativity is still nice.
Rating 7 - this is a very useful answere and absolute new for me!

While self-made banner is ideal, I think this question is on the FAQ because the team has made a banner to be readily used by the users on the FAQ. Giving an example nice though.
Yes, here it is.
To use the banner, copy and embed this code into your article's source code.
Rating 6
Great answer format, the team can simply replace it to the banner that's supposed to be on the FAQ. As others pointed out, source.
Accurate. We will provide updated source code that links to the new FAQ once we publish it. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.

Rating 6 - Simple, clean answer with the source code included. Adding in the banner created by @katysavage (with citation) would score 7

Would be perfect if it includes copy-able strings for the banners.
We did create a banner for this purpose, and we include it in every update, but since we don't require that contests use it, it's not standardized. Members are welcome to use our banners and graphics for their contests, but it is not required.

I have provided some more info for my entry.
Rating 7 - This answer provides the 2 main options to use. I would just double check if the first banner is "free to use" or "free to use with citation or creator" as I am unclear on this.
I added the tag but from his comment I thought that one was inculding in the free to use.
You are probably right, so much good info in this contest i feel I am missing some of it.
Posted using Partiko Android
We know there is a ton of info and most people have not caught every announcement. This contest is helping us educate all the participants, but also giving us insight into areas where we need to more emphasis to help everyone understand the program changes.
Both of those images are free to use.
Rating 7, both banners are included and info to discord
I rate this as 6. I can't tell who created the second banner and if it is copyright free. Otherwise it's a 7.

I believe SBI team has a standard banner for this question. But nice example for answer layout...

There are no standardized (at least at the time of writing this comment) banner for giveaway contests. The best banner there is at this point is made by a user named @katysavage with her banner down below:
Of course, just remember to cite @katysavage for making the banner! I mean, look at it: clean, simple and to the point. No one can realistic mistake it for anything else! So go and use it, but source @katysavage!
Oooh! I like this one! I might start using it!

Ha ha! At the laat minute?
We did create a banner for this purpose, and we include it in every update, but since we don't require that contests use it, it's not standardized. This one was created for the contests updates, but members are welcome to use it in their own contest announcements.

Rating 6 - This is a good choice for Banner, and stressing to cite the creator is good information. Would give 7 if the post also contained the other SBI created Banner.
I rate this as 6 only because I just read the reply by her husband confirming the image is copyright free. Crediting the creator doesn't make it copyright free and I was on the verge of rating this as 4 lol
Rating 6, missing the 'other' banner

Doesn't answer the yes/no question in the front. At least you can give example(s) if there's no standardized banner.

Category 15:
What are the different types of units?
There are two types of shares that are relevant for all participants of SBI:
Both types give equal benefits in upvotes.
I suggest to replace "units" to "shares" in the question. "shares" is more unique and identifiable term for a basic income program and it's more consistent with explanations from all participants on this whole contest.

Accurate. Management units (created at level of 5% of standard units) are also counted as bonus units. The prizes from this contest will be management units (bonus units), but they will be perpetual like regular units instead of dependent on delegation.
We are actually trying to move away from 'shares' as an SBI term to prevent our program from being misconstrued as an unlisted security. We originally said 'share' as shorthand for 'share of our voting power', but there has been some confusion around it.

Rated as 7. Nicely provides the basic/needed information.
Rating 6 nice summery
7 clarity point
Perfect answer.
Units is the more preferable term to use because potential legal issues cmiiw.
I suppose units also mean shares? If yes, then here we go...
Standard share: This is what you get when you sponsor someone.
Bonus share: This is temporary reward for delegation.
Management share: As the term implies, this is for the management team and set at 5% of the existing shares.
Temp shares: Management share that are temporarily awarded to members who help improve the program.
Accurate. Technically management units and temporary units still exist, but our database groups them with bonus units, which is why I am also accepting simplified responses that only have the first two categories.

While this is accurate, I don't think average users need to know about management and temp units.
Rating 6 - a good clear and concise explanation. 1 point off for using "shares" instead of "units"
I give a 6. Stated units as shares, good but does not properly explains Standards units/shares.
Clarity score 6
The one we get from getting sponsored is also the standard share...
There are 3 main types of units in SBI.
Type 1. Standard units.
These are the most common and are allocated as 2 units per STEEM. 1 is alocated to the account paying the STEEM, and 1 is allocated to the account sponsored by the payer.
Type 2. Bonus Units.
These are allocated to those that delegate STEEM Power to SBI. 1 unit is granted for every 2 SP you delegate. These units remain in place while the delegation remains.
Type 3. Management Units.
These are allocated to the SBI management and writting team. There are also "Temporary units" which are these management units that get allocated temporarily to another user.

There are a few types of shares that Steem Basic Income uses.
Accurate. Very comprehensive, too! We only differentiate between standard (enrolled) shares and sponsored shares with respect to the refund policy. For all other purposes they are treated the same.
rshares are a whole separate deal... you do earn rshares by upvoting posts by @steembasicincome (the rshares value of your upvote * 1.34) but you also earn rshares at a fixed rate based on your SBI units (each unit earns 800M rshares per day) I was planning to leave rshares out of the FAQ as a more advanced topic, but there has been some call for clarity around them, so it will probably be broken out into a separate question (bonus category!)

Short and precise answer... Uses shares instead of units though.
We typically refer to 1 as 'standard' or just 'SBI'.
2 are not available through upvotes anymore, as that system was not as sustainable and we have shifted to upvote multipliers instead of bonus units as reward for upvotes.
You are welcome to edit your submission and I will review again (or you can resubmit if your edit is substantial.)
Rating 5 - a good effort but some terminology is not the current prefered usage.
I rate this as 5. The Lasting shares are now better represented and explained in the recent system.

"Lasting shares" isn't the preferred way we call the "standard units" or "SBI units". Looks like good effort in explaining.

Category 10:
If I upvote @steembasicincome, do I get anything?
Yes. Each time you upvote a post or comment from the @steembasicincome accounts (@steembasicincome, @sbi2, @sbi3, @sbi4, @sbi5, @sbi6, @sbi7, @sbi8, @sbi9, @sbi10) the rshares value of that vote is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your vote balance. This means you are getting the full value of your vote added to your account even after the 25% curation is removed.
Example: 1.00 vote x 1.34 = 1.34 added to account. The 1.34 vote back to you is worth 1.34 x 0.75 = 1.005 returned to you. Added bonus you should get some curation on the vote given to SBI meaning all votes given to SBI should be profitable to you.

Firstly, upvoting @steembasicincome helps to contribute to the sustainability of the program. This importantly helps protect the value and longevity of your investment in units, and helps sustain the flow of benefits to the overall SBI community.
Secondly, the value of your vote is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your "account" to add to your future votes received from the SBI program. The multiplier is in place to cover curation.

Yes. Before mentioning any math, I would like to mention about a different program which I used to upvote. What happened then? The project owner gave me sponsorship because he thought that those who upvotes his program's account post are those who believe and support the program. I believe that should be the same case for @steembasicincome that any upvotes to their post will help the program going and growing, thus will continue to give upvotes out.
Regarding number values, your upvote to any @steembasicincome and its relative accounts (@sbi2, @sbi3, etc.) can become a 1.25 to 1.35 multiplier to the upvote value for your posts.
This is actually our old system. The Vote Values Part Three has a summary of the new system, although we later boosted the multiplier from 1.25 to 1.34x, where it is now.

If you upvote posts from @steembasicincome you get rshares added to your SBI balance according to the upvote weight multiplied by 1.34. This is better than upvoting yourself in the long term!

Outdated, not specific enough.
Technically Accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.
There are not static pool assignments anymore, and the voting account for each upvote is dynamically selected when that upvote is delivered. It uses the highest VP account that can deliver the full upvote, and we are gradually scaling the accounts onto a fitted SP curve so that eventually members will mostly be upvoted by the same account every time and increasing your units, upvote multipliers, etc. will move you up the SP curve to be voted by a bigger account.

Yes, a million times yes. It is to your benefit that you do so and it helps keep SBI sustainable and help them grows as well. Screw it, setting up an autovote through Steemauto through the “Curation Trail” will help you yield an upvote bonus. So they are rewarding you for your loyalty and generosity. To go and reference what I posted in Category 9:
Rating 4
Informal and unsuitable for FAQ. Steemauto curation trail has nothing to do at all with this.
I accepted before where the reference to Overview post was more of a footnote, but on this question that is specifically about the upvote bonuses, the Complete Overview contains outdated information, so the reference to it makes the response technically wrong.

Thank you for explaining I have updated and love taking part in this I am learning things I didn't know.
Rating 6 - the multiplier is fixed as i understand at 1.34, not a range. A good attempt at simplifying the Rshares topic.
Edit
Rating change to 7 - with the edits, I like this answer now.
I will need to have him confirm that cause they reason I changed to a range today was that @sbi-booster told @macoolette above that it was a range. I will also look into that because everything I found said it was 1.34 now but in that comment he said it was that range.
It was 1.25, but it was boosted to 1.34x. We could see how this might be incorrectly interpreted as a range and we accepted her modified response (and yours) because the current (fixed) value is within that range.
When we say technically accurate instead of just accurate, it's usually because we interpret the wording as being correct, but potentially confusing. These responses could still win (because the clarity/helpfulness ratings are up to the participants) but we might tweak the wording a little before including in the new FAQ. (i.e. i could say 'from 1.25 to 1.40 and it would be technically accurate because 1.34 is within that range, but just 1.34 is more accurate because it's not actually a range)
We originally announced at 1.25x and it was at that level for a few hours after our initial release. I had a conversation that day with @thedarkhorse from @pifc and @minnowbuilder about the calculation and its intent. From that conversation I realized that for the multiplier to work as intended, it actually needed to be 1.34x. I updated our configuration file and it has been set at 1.34x since.
Thank you for explaining that. I have changed it to show the correct 1.34 again.
That was super fast! You got to it before I finished with the @sbi-booster replies and moved on to the @steembasicincome replies that have not been reviewed yet.
This is a 6. An example would have made it perfect as it would provide more clarifications.

"Bonus units" and "market orders" may need to be given short explanation. Other than that it's clear and bringing up Minnowbooster market order might be helpful so users don't mistake delegating via MB also gets bonus shares.
@fuadsm let me know what you think of the changes. IMO anyone that is leasing SP on minnowbooster should know what the term Market Order means and those who aren't don't need a long explanition about it. But did clean it up a little. As for Bonus Shares, I included that it should be linked to as there is no reason to repeat what is already covered in another bullet point of the FAQ.

Explanation about delegation via MB are missing on other answers. Good job for that as many will think they would get double benefit (MB APR and bonus units) when delegating to the main account via MB.
I recommend to change the question to "Do I get any benefit from delegating Steem Power to @steembasicincome"?
Yes, you get temporary "bonus shares" when you delegate to @steembasicincome. These bonus shares give equal benefit compared to regular SBI shares. Currently, you get 1 bonus share for each 2 Steem Power delegation to @steembasicincome. Bonus shares will be removed if you pull your delegation.
To me this is the answer 7. The minnow booster leasing seems like an outside case - but perhaps is worth a foot note, not a full entry.

Bonus Category 2:
What is an rshare and how does it influence my votes i receive from Steem Basic Income?
rshares are the unit that steem uses to calculate rewards. So when you vote for any post the witness check your VP% and SP to calculate how many rshares your upvote is worth. This is what value you really add when you upvote a post. @steembasicincome gives your membership a bonus for each upvote to any post from any of their accounts. Your will get a bonus equal to 1.34x the amount of your upvote to your @steembasicincome rshare balance. That balance is used to give each upvote from your membership a bonus. This bonus earned is always higher than if you voted your own post. So it pays you back to support this project. You can check your balance with the !sbi status command
There's actually quite a bit more to rshares than that. rshares are not unique to Steem Basic Income. Actually they are the base unit that Steem uses to calculate rewards. (the r stands for 'reward')
When you upvote a post, your front-end client tells the witnesses your upvote %. The witness checks your VP% and mVests (SP) and calculates the actual rshares of your upvote. Those rshares are stored by the witnesses as meta-data for the post. You can see all the rshares rewarded to a post on steemd, by changing the 'it' in any steemit post url to a 'd' and then clicking 'Vote Details' below the raw markup for the post.
for example:
(img capture from https://steemd.com/contests/@steembasicincome/steem-basic-income-faq-contest-500-sbi-in-prizes)
When your post pays out, the witness checks the total rshares rewarded to the post against the total rewards pool (pending rewards not yet paid out) and converts your rshares into SP/STEEM/SBD.
Since the total rshares that that you can vote are directly driven by your mvests (SP), they are the most accurate possible unit that we can use to calculate the upvote values that we owe our members. As such, we use them for all our balance tracking. Each unit (and bonus unit) earns 80M rshares every 2.4 hours (800M per day, 5600M per week).
That amount would round to 0 if we used SBD or SP. When we started our program, STEEM was at $8 and 800M rshares per day was enough for an 0.01 upvote every day. Now it's only enough for an 0.01 upvote every 25 days (which is why we recommend 25 units to get a daily upvote). If STEEM price continues to rise, the value of rshares will go back up and the SBI needed for a daily upvote will go down.
Your rshares rewards are stored in our database as a 'pending upvote balance'. Each member also earns 1.34x multiplier on their upvotes. This part you got dead on - you give us rshares through your votes, we multiply those by 1.34 to cover the curation we will get from our returning vote, and we add them to your balance to give back to your over your next few posts.
When we deploy our system to redistribute outstanding vote balances from inactive and blacklisted accounts, that will be calculated using rshares too.
You are welcome to edit your submission and I will review again (or you can resubmit if your edit is substantial.)

Okay now I see what you wanted. I took at shot at it with a bit less Technical info. Just the basics of what it is. Thanks again for sharing that info I keep learning from this post.

Hi @stever82!
I rate this response as 6. Not sure I understand clearly how rsshares work but I think this makes sense though it can be explained better for a 7.
Rated 5 , i think it is well explained but can be completed with more deep agregated value such as a graphical explication. Anyway good work!.

This only needs to be an explanation of rshares. Incentive for upvoting SBI shouldn't be mentioned here.
Category 9:
How can I get bigger upvotes on my posts?
The upvote value given by SBI is determined by the amount of rshares in your SBI balance. There are multiple ways to get bigger upvotes from SBI on your posts:

This is the answer 7, down to the formatting and tone.
Possible Improvement: Simplify explanation on item number 3. Remove rshare concept, implement selected answer from Cat.10
Rating 7 - good amount of detail in clear concise point form. Covers all main ways to boost votes.
Rating 7, full package. Has all that's needed
This is definitely a 7. Very simple to understand and well presented. You seem to be a honorary competitor lol.
To receive larger votes on your posts there are a few options which are free and one which requires investment of steem.
Free Ways to Increase Your Vote:
Don't forget that your vote is based on 20% of your total vote bank and then that amount is removed from the bank. So a few back to back posts can quickly drain your account which will lower your vote value or on the flip side if you take a few days off your vote bank will grow larger and your next votes will be larger. This has nothing to do with the value of each SBI share, but entirely on how you choose to use your vote bank.

Great answer with redirection to other FAQ question. It's a little bit too overwhelming in my opinion and I don't think other FAQ question inform the user that "your vote is based on 20% of your total vote bank and then that amount is removed from the bank.". That's not common knowledge.
Rating 7 - Good amount of detail without being overwhelming, links to the answers of more specific FAQ.

I score this as 5. Best way is to provide a summarized response to the answer. Also, the explanation related to "vote bank" it not clear and gives room to more questions.
Mostly accurate. Response accepted as a qualifying submission, although the upvote bonuses work differently now than in the original Overview post.

I rate this 6. Detailed, covers all the main ways to boost your SBI units and upvotes. Lost point for the "you know the program" considering the FAQ section is aimed at members or potential members that are not familiar with the program.
I give you a 5 this time. You're not exactly on points with your answers and obviously, we wouldn't want to have those quotation of another user and sbi booster on the FAQ page.
To get bigger upvotes, send more STEEMs to @steembasicincome to increase your share. You can also delegate to @steembasicincome. In the past, you will receive 1 bonus share for every 10 SP delegation. As @steembasicincome continues to grow, they also increased the bonus share to 5 shares for every 10 SP delegation.
Close. We have improved the delegation reward from 1 bonus unit per 10 SP to 1 bonus unit per 2 SP delegated (so 10 will you give you 5 bonus units instead of only 1.)
You are welcome to edit your submission and I will review again (or you can resubmit if your edit is substantial.)
Edit: Accurate now. Response accepted as a qualifying submission.

Okay, I have updated my initial response. I am just curious, is there a specific timeframe for the delegation? And will the SBI shares be revoke when the delegation is stopped?
I haven't find a topic similar to this in the FAQ so maybe it can be an additional entry.
When you initiate a delegation on Steem, it is perpetual until you change it to 0. Bonus units are calculated at the time of delegation, and then left alone unless the delegation changes, at which point they are recalculated. If the delegation is set to 0, the bonus units would also be set to 0.
Rating 4 - a bit confusing, a clearer edited version stating 1 bonus unit for every 2 SP delegated would improve the answer in my opinion.
Befriend a whale! Power up and self vote!
... But seriously... For SBI, More shares means larger votes. Also the more often you post the more your votes are diluted by averaging.
Apart from that, engage other people... If you are interested in their work, they might get interested in yours!
Rating 3
Informal, not suitable for FAQ. Powering up and engaging with people doesn't directly increase SBI vote vallue. Self-upvote?!

Rating 5 - from the "but seriously" part. Good basic info without being technical, doesn't cover all ways to boost the vote (upvoting SBI for example)
I score this a 4. It doesn't look presentable to applear as a FAQ response and it doesn't answer the question completely.
There are four ways to go about it
Send more Steem along with username(s) of the person(s) you intern to sponsor. A trick will be to look for someone to exchange sponsorship. That is someone you will sponsor and he/she in turn sponsor's you back. It will be a win win situation for you and your friend.
Delagate much Steem Power to @steembasicincome. For every 2SP delegated, you get one unit.
Upvote posts made by @steembasicincome. For every post that you upvote, your upvote value is multiplied by 1.34 and added to your potential upvote balance. You can simply add @steembasicincome to your fanbase on steemauto.com to make it easier.
Participate is contests that give sbi units as a prize or prizes. This way you will increase your sbi units and hence upvote value.

To get bigger upvotes, post good quality content or Increase your @steembasicincome shares for you to be able to get larger votes.

Rating 4 - technically, so long as the user is not spamming or plagarising or blacklisted for whatever reason, SBI doesn't really take in to account "quality of content"
I give a 2 for this reason. It simply doesn't answer the question.
The main way to do this is to get more SBI shares. You can sponsor more people. Or you can enter contest or host contest as a good way to grow your shares. If you post every day and change to voting every other day this also should increase your vote as it is giving out with a weekly share. Only do that if you are forcing yourself to post when you don't want to. SBI doesn't require daily post to earn your full share.
Did you mean 'change to posting every other day'? A change to voting every other day would decrease your upvote, because you would be getting less upvoting multiplier reward.
It's weird that this is wrong but also sort of correct. We don't calculate anything on a weekly basis anymore... rshares accrue to member vote balances every 2.4 hours. But looking at your upvote value from a longer time-frame (like a week, a month, a quarter) still seems to be the best way to help members realize that over time their total upvote values received are independent of their posting frequency, while their upvote per post is extremely dependent on their posting frequency (and may look quite volatile if their intervals between posts are irregular).
100% accurate, and the key underlying reason for why our system is so complicated. We do not believe that forcing a daily post to achieve ROI is the right way to encourage quality content, and tracking everything using rshares balances has proven to be the only consistently accurate way of upvote delivery that allows for a consistent STEEM APR over time, independent of posting frequency.

Only upvoting @steembasicincome rewards the 1.34x multiplier cmiiw. Nice endorsement that hosting a contest may get you to earn shares too!
Bonus category 1:
I send 1 Steem but I misspelled the name. What can I do?
You can send 0.001 STEEM or SBD to @steembasicincome with the correct account name(s) in the memo. There is no required syntax for this so please provide explanation about the error as clear as possible. It will be reviewed manually so give it some time before we fix it.

If this happens please send 0.001 steem or SBD to @steembasicincome with the correct spelling of the name. This will be reviewed manually, so there's no specific syntax. So please give us time to fix it and respond back. If you had sent shares for more than one person then provide more detail in the memo explaining what was wrong.
There is a typo in your response. It needs to be @steembasicincome or we will never see it ;) The rest looks good.

Simply send 0.001 Steem or SBD to @steembasicincome with the correction of the misspelled name as memo. This transaction will be reviewed manually and the necessary adjustment will be made.
Also, you can notify the team on discord about this incident so that they can guide you and review your transaction almost instantly.

Rating 7. Covers everything needed. Would like to hear from @sbi-booster if transaction memo, or discord contact is the preferred method (I suspect its the former).
Transaction memo is preferred so that a record of the correction is created that can be referenced later if any dispute arises. If a correction has been sent already to maintain audit trail, and I'm not really busy with something when it comes up on Discord, I will sometimes fix right away.
