RE: Gamify Steemit's future Soft/Hard Forks testing - The SteemCommunity Organization

in #utopian-io6 years ago

This is a great idea, and one I absolutely support. I like virtuous uses of gamification.

I will caution that setting "this never happens again" as an objective may be a bit unrealistic. All the testing in the world cannot replicate the reality of going live with tens of thousands of active users. Minimizing the chance? Sure. That's worth the effort, and its realistic.

I would definitely recommend going through the post's text. There were significant issues of style, grammar, and proofreading that made it a bit difficult to read at times. I'd be happy to point out some examples in a follow-up comment, if you wish.

Thank you! I agree with you, it is hard to never let this happen again. But it is a goal we would like to work on. There was a saying, which fits well here :)

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” by Norman Vincent Peale.

Please do write some examples on how I can improve, because I would like to improve my writing skills as well.

I often say "perfect is a goal, not a destination," so we are in agreement. Now, to the examples!

After seeing the success and failures of the 20th HardFork I have logged in

The word "have" is redundant. It makes the sentence present perfect, and it should be simple past: "I logged in."

I and wanted to find out what can be done so that HardForks are tested better so that the changes are implemented smoothly.

A few issues here. Starting with that redundant "and" at the start, which I guess may have been left over from a different form of the sentence? There's also no punctuation. Punctuation is good!

@gtg, the wizard of Steemit proposed to making own TESTNET and stated that it is needed not only for hard forks.

Whose own testnet? @gtg's? All of yours? Also, again, punctuation. Let's do a sample edit:

"@gtg, the wizard of Steemit, proposed making our own TESTNET. He stated that it is not needed only for hard forks." (A comment here: I guessed at @gtg's gender based on Gandalf being male. I would have considered using the singular they if it were my post and I didn't know the gender).

so that the new hard/soft forks are bulletproof before actual implementation.

Let's make this simpler and more accurate: "So that future hard/soft forks are bulletproof before implementation."

Thanks a lot for your effort @didic. Very good advice. Will try to improve!
