Can you give us something that makes us leap in more than just putting an entry in?

I haven't been a part of the weekend engagement long enough to do this but I'll like to share my thoughts on it. Every weekend when the contest prompts are presented, and I have a few thoughts I try to submit an entry. This is done without knowing the criteria on which my entry will be judged. When I click the publish button I pray it will fit the mold for either a prize or curation.

It mostly doesn't go according to plan. They had been one time when it did go according to plan and I had a mention and a prize. And no, the curation didn't happen. Except for the vote that is always given by the brain behind the weekend engagement prompt.

I think it's probably because I am coming from a system that uses a grading metric to judge a person's abilities and award them accordingly. Maybe, this is why I feel the weekend engagement should give me a mold to fit in whenever I am putting an entry in.

I do not know why the entry that always gets the first or second or third place is chosen. On what basis do you pick the winners?

With the pob-with tag contest, for instance, we are given benchmarks and every time someone wins, you'll know it's deserving because it was able to follow through the majority of the criteria to win.

Another contest I'll bring to the table would be the engagement league organized by abh12345 He gives us benchmarks upon which the results are given. This means anyone who gets to the first place can be seen as deserving. As numbers do not lie, the data generated reflects everything needed to prove the gradings and positionings.

Dreemsteem has contests too. And through dreemport, other dreemers get to be the judge of contents through a ranking system. This gives power to dreemers to decide who gets first place on the ranking down to the fifth place.

A few months ago, we had the comment ranked team asked us to run an engagement/pinging our followers contest, and the metrics used were shown. Thus, the data generated reflected why the winner went home with the bag.

I am wondering if you would us give more than the usual;

• Bring an original content
• Source your image
• Use the right tag
• Publish in the weekend community rules.

Can you give us something that makes us leap in more than just putting an entry in?

If you don't want to enter nothing I do will give you the impetus to do so. It's an open concept and I only ever want people to enter because they want to. So no, I'll not give anyone anything to make them want to leap in other than some blog topic prompts.

I do not know why the entry that always gets the first or second or third place is chosen. On what basis do you pick the winners?

I pick winners based on if they have followed the rules exactly, meet the community rules and how I feel about the post itself, what effort has gone into it, how well they have responded to the prompt, whether they've used their own photos, sourced images and so on.

If you're involved to win then you're involved for the wrong reason. It's a blog prompt concept and designed to help people find topics to blog about and to easily find other people to engage with. Winners are those that see that and choose to engage.

Thanks for giving me examples of other concepts however none are relevant to me and my concept.

I guess my suggestion is you enter those other concepts and not mine as it seems you're not overly pleased with what I do. It's ok, I don't mind in the least bit. All the best for your future.

One thing I like about you Iska is that you want to WIN! I’m exactly the same so I can understand your desire to have clear pathways to winning with engagement on Hive. 👍

It was very interesting for me to see your comparisons of the different engagement initiatives. There are really so many different ways to achieve/support more engagement on the blockchain! Its also interesting to note that different methods are in place to achieve different outcomes… and sometimes its just about ease of implementation.

Thank you for participating in @Comet.Ranker’s most recent engagement event! Once we have finished processing the data for Operation #Ping it will be very interesting to see everyones social data! AND I can’t wait to award the Bonus Round participants because EVERYONE wins this time around! ☄️
