Hello Growers,
We've got a serious thing to discuss with you today. Hopefully this post will serve helpful to all of us. It is about the part of this website that you all like and talk about the most; the AWARDS.
Earlier today, our Team has encountered an acquisition that we just couldn't let go unnoticed and left without some kind of commentary from our side. Here it is:
First of all, we would like to say that here on this website we welcome good vibes only. That is to say, @WhiteWidow, we value your presence, we are happy you are here, and by no means we intent to limit your opinion and freedom of stating your point of view. However, while making pubic statements about our professionalism and overall worthiness of the GD Team, please keep in mind that there are healthier and much benevolent ways to express your thoughts, and we are not going to tolerate such irrespective and unsupported by any evidence proclamations.
There are dozens of ¨enthusiastic dudes¨ here who help us make this platform better, more useful, more beautiful every day by leaving their feedback, reporting bugs, and contributing to the community. To name a few, @BigDaddyK, @DabCrab, @rdrunner, @CANNASIM, @Tripaholic88, @Tenacious_Trichomes and other amazing growers regularly report problems and leave interesting ideas and suggestions. The GD Team also works hard to make this website not only to stand out and be a useful tool to track grows but also to reward our community with prizes, giveaways, connections with various brand representatives and so on.
Saying that we do not pay attention to what the community has to say is a completely untrue statement. We note everything; your feedback, opinions, reports, and ideas are all heard, discussed and processed. In fact, GrowDiaries has made various public statements about the AWARDS section being in the process of updating at the moment. We are aware of the issue with the contest, and we are open to hear out your ideas about how you would like to see this system perfected and impossible to circumvent.
While the giveaway problem has understandably attracted an incredible amount of attention recently, we decided to reveal a couple of NEW aspects of the contest that will be implemented by the next month.
- Each user will only have 1 vote.
- There will be a list of voters in which you'll be able to see which grower voted for which Diary.
- Votes will be permanent.
- We will implement a complaint button to the messenger with which you'll be able to report those users who spam or wish to bypass the system by asking to exchange votes.
Regarding the AWARDS, there are even more contests and giveaway to come. Just stay present and you will see a lot of amazing stuff happening here. Please be kind and respectful to each other, and to our team. Once again, this community is all about sharing. We are always happy to share our work with you, and all we ask in exchange is a piece of appreciation of what we are all creating here.
Another feature we are working on that also proves that we monitor each and every of you request is that we will be finally making a GROUP CHAT!
To wrap it all up, we thank @WhiteWidow and the rest of you for bringing up this problem, and ask you all to excuse us for the inconveniences that have been caused by certain damages in our system. Let us know what you have in mind! GD is open to TRUE criticism, as we believe it leads to progress. Together we will make it all work perfectly, for sure. But, hey, let's just do it with love, patience and appreciation.
Peace,
GD Team
