Sharing is caring – followup. I found a post yesterday I hadn’t read. I read that post shared in a Sharing is Caring job. And when the author replied today, I noticed the post had gained 24 views over 24 hours. That is a pretty good rate of return overall! So yes, emphatically Sharing is Caring is now changing its name to Yes Sharing is Caring, and Sharing is helping as well!
Please also, along the lines of sharing is caring, send the admins an email again asking them to moderate the now 16-day old queue for posts. I sent the admin team our suggestion on the un-moderated post view. We will see if things change.
The other good news is several authors that have been away from the site are returning now occasionally. We are, on average many more new posts every day. That is good news. Views are still lower, but that in part is due to the usual July/August vacation dip. I suspect we will start to see that stabilize once we move into the fall, and writers return to the indoors from being outside.
Here are some of the lessons I’ve learned to help everyone.
- Facebook and Twitter remain by far the top social media to share on for me.
- I find we are having more and more conversations on posts (4 comments by author and reader) that is great for both as the more conversations we have on the site, the more people earn!
I have spent a lot of time thinking about the un-moderated view and have a couple of ideas. First, several commented that we would love to have the approval button in the un-moderated view. That button given more than one approval would move the post to the leading site and take it out of the un-moderated sight. What I suspect we would need to understand is that the admins would run the plagiarism check on the entire site (including verified writers). I don’t think that impacts a lot of people, but it may change some.
What do you think? Do five author approvals move a post out of un-moderated? (5 unique)!
Higher? Lower?

I have always found it hard to search any posts on this site, as the tabs used by most people are very general.
How do we find old posts, apart from our own?
honestly, i don’t have a good answer. This is a great question and one that deserves a good answer. I would say search but that doesn’t really help.
what I have done is go to the users profile and select more: posts.
I then go to the last page and work my way back but you asked for search and that in the end is random posts.
i did a search on you + virily and got these results
https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geKYylXTJfYRwA0zVXNyoA;_ylc=X1MDMjc2NjY3OQRfcgMyBGZyA21jYWZlZQRmcjIDc2ItdG9wBGdwcmlkA1RHMTRJWXhJVHdPNHA0UGs1NDYydkEEbl9yc2x0AzAEbl9zdWdnAzAEb3JpZ2luA3NlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20EcG9zAzAEcHFzdHIDBHBxc3RybAMwBHFzdHJsAzIwBHF1ZXJ5A1RoZSUyMER1bmNlJTIwYW5kJTIwdmlyaWx5BHRfc3RtcAMxNTk3MTM2MzA5?p=The+Dunce+and+virily&fr2=sb-top&fr=mcafee&type=E211US1393G0
Yes, I didn’t think that there was any easy way either.
no the internal search engine on the site is geared towards user name, so every mention of your name in a post returns that post as well as posts authored by you.
you can try collections – i have a few they work a little.
One cannot please all people all the time. Don’t give a fuck to those who give you WTF. Don’t give away your energy.
(future note the admins don’t tolerate language like that on the site) i don’t just makes me sad that people don’t have the gumption to comment and hide behind an emoji.
If the admin do not tolerate such language then they shouldn’t put that WTF in the emoji selection in the first place. Precedent, eh? 🤷🏻♀️
My friend David always tell me I can use the silkiest words and some people will still take offense. It is not about you, it is about them.
And this is the 2nd time I have to retype my comment because the site suddenly turned bleh 😐
that does happen on occasion – but they kicked off one author for cursing.
Q: TO NAYSAYERS, 24 VIEWS IN 24 HOURS FOR OLD POSTS IS AMAZING – SUPPORT THOSE DOING THE CHALLENGE OK?
Yes (3 votes) – 75%
No (1 votes) – 25%
Really sad to see the no vote here and the WTF emoji. That means there is a person on the site or reading who doesn’t believe in the community.
I’m very happy that sharing helps at least a little bit. This is a really good result.
some of those older posts (I watch a few) average 2 views a month or less. You and Carol made two older posts move more than 20 views in a day.
that is awesome thank you for your contribution!
Oh, I’m glad that really helps. I didn’t think they could get posts so many views.
you are helping authors and the site and yes, the views vary but you are driving many net new views for those authors!
I think all the members are looking forward to the extra views. I hope they will get the will to work on this site again.
i do hope so as well, i see bits and pieces coming back!
I agree about the Sharing is Caring definitely having a good impact. Still trying to figure out how I feel about the un-moderated posts. I guess we would essentially be approving the posts with our comments before it is moderated.
i am still thinking through that one overall. So the easy answer is yes, but i don’t know. i was thinking possibly an approve button next tot he comment button.
20 views from one of the sharing is caring posts you shared yesterday. That is next the views on your post and vidocka’s post, and the additional nearly 50 views added.
way to go! thank you both!!!
Wow I did not even notice. Thanks for the numbers. I will keep going.
you, as they say, hit it out of the park!
I think it would be plausible if five authors approval enables a post to be moved from unmoderated state. It’s a good number to determine the quality of a post.
yeah I just don’t know, I am leaning down the middle right now
