Winners of the Post of the Month & Compliment of the Month on the FreeCompliments Community – July 2023!
Welcome to the very first iteration of the FreeCompliments Community’s contests for Pot of the Month and Compliment of the Month! We announced the initiation of this contest with the promise of a 5 HSBI + 1000 Ecency Point reward for each winner. The goal of this contest is to encourage the creation of quality content, both long-form and short-form, for the betterment of the community and its members.
Scouring through the posts and comments, I came to one conclusion: it’s nearly impossible to choose just a single winner, because there is so much incredible, varied content. Thus, we’re also including runner-up prizes (including one for non-compliment comment of the month)!
Without further ado, here are our winners and runner-ups:
Post of the Month
Gifts of life: love ✨ from @marilour. In this post, she describes multiple forms of love in ways that I have never seen before. The pure originality of thought, clear composition, and exquisite writing of this post has earned it the prize of Post of the Month. I strongly encourage everyone to read it. It is certain to expand your mind.
5 HSBI and 1,000 Ecency Points coming your way!
And for our runner-up:
Motivational Mondays || …This seeming fray…
from @teknon. This is an original poem based on our themed day, Motivational Mondays. In a unique twist on the concept, she created a motivational poem to express why we should remain motivated on Mondays, truly an inspiration for us on any day of the week and through all difficult times. I could not let this powerful work go without some type of a prize.
3 HSBI and 500 Ecency Points coming your way!
Compliment of the Month
Once again, from @marilour, the Compliment of the Month, an you can click on “parent” for context. The reason that this comment won is that it represents the epitome of a quality compliment: expressing the positive aspects of the listener, and smoothly blending in a lesson in a non-judgmental tone, borne from experience and subsequent wisdom, for the sole purpose of bettering their experience in life. In this comment, Marilour has captured the essence of what we seek to achieve in this community.

And for our runner-up:
This one actually comes from outside of the community, on another user’s post, by our very own community ambassador @crazyphantombr. It encompasses the same type of mixture of positivity and non-judmental life lessons as seen in marilour’s winning comment, and the metaphor within the comment is apt for the purpose of motivation.

Non-Compliment Comment of the Month
While our primary focus is on compliments, free speech and discussion is also a tremendous focus in this community. Not all conversations require compliments or agreements, but rather respectful discussion, listening, and exchanges of ideas. Thus, I believe it is essential to reward dialogues which are done in such a manner. This is a tenet of the stringent free speech principle we exercise, in a manner that we would love to see implemented in all forms of communication.
Here, I reward a comment which does not necessarily align with my personal beliefs, experiences, or philosophy (at least in part), but which embodies the aforementioned spirit of respectful discussion. The ability to talk with and genuinely listen to your fellow man is more important than whether or not you agree with him.
The comment belongs to @atma.love, whose intention was to promote health, using his own experiences, in a post where health problems were a primary topic. Keep speaking freely.

Conclusion
Congratulations to the winners and runner-ups of the first Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month contest! I hope that this encourages you and others who see this post to continue producing quality content within the community, and to spread the principles we practice in this community out into the rest of Hive and the world around you.
Starting with the next contest, we’ll provide our members an opportunity to vote for their choice of Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month, as well as Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! The post announcing the next contest will be made in the last week of August to permit a week’s worth of nominations prior to revealing the winners.
What do you think of our winners and runner-ups? Are there are other posts or comments that you would have chosen? Are the choices and prizes fair?
I would love to hear any and all opinions about these topics from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.

Congratulations everyone! Win great prizes too amazing
The great thing is that we'll have this contest every month, so everyone will have a chance to win all over again! 😊
My hope is that this sets the precedent for the quality of content that we can all aspire to reach.
I just read her post the quality of the writing is amazing my way of writing is more to the raw side I just write what's on my mind but her writing took care and attention to detail which I do not have the patience for haha.
I most certainly take into consideration the meaning behind the words as well! Flowery language without sufficient content is superficial, and that's not helpful, although I do appreciate aesthetics as well.
You definitely have the opportunity to win as well, as long as you truly mean what you write. 😊
That makes sense as a community leader you do have a responsibility to check all the meaning behind it. You doing great to be honest.
Thank you brother
You're on the way there my friend

With emotion, I extend my congratulations to all the winners of this honorable recognition. My regards and considerations @teknon,@crazyphantombr, and @atma.love, an honor to be with you 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for your appreciation and consideration, @freecompliments and @hive-140084 thank you for releasing such rewarding, thought-provoking, and contemplative emotions. Quite a compliment to the senses, nourishes, enriches, and energizes. Footprints that are stamped in my existential walk, to thank again and again, from humility, from the deepest of being. It is these experiential manifestations that ratify that gratitude is a form of love that enhances and strengthens as a philosophy of life. It is gratitude that brings sustenance, context, and joy, granting happiness.
I am very grateful for your substantial awards, which solidify with extensive benefits, my journey through this wonderful multiverse, called Hive, gratitude ✨
Again, thank you, thank you for everything, very happy 😁🎉🎊

Such an amazing community! Thank you so much. Never expected to recognized this much for just one post. I'm honored 💜. A big congratulations to all the amazing writers that make this community a fun, beautiful and inspiring place to be.
Every post adds something new to the community, and yours was certainly worthy of this recognition. Excellent job! Keep it up. 😊
🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations...
They're all great, aren't they? 😁
All well deserved winners ❤️
I experienced how hard it is to choose winners! Back in time when I run the IYC contests I came up in asking the actual 3 winners to help with "judgement" in the next month. It worked the way that each one sent me his personal 3 "winners" in discord.
So I got a list and still had my own voice to add my own considerations. It worked perfect, the external view on the posts picked out the very best and this also increased the encouragement within the community.
Maybe an idea for you 😘
This is a fantastic idea! I might incorporate this for the next contest as the amount of posts increases. Thank you so much for the suggestion. 😊
1 HSBI coming your way because this is very practical.
Thank you !LUV thats new I get something "paid" for my ideas 🙂 Just be aware that I always have a lot of ideas 😂 "Idea spamming" could happen

(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoThe magic of the blockchain is that whenever you write out an original idea, it's immutable and provable that it is yours. Thus, you should get credit and the financial benefits of such ownership. Maybe I'm the first one to suggest it here, but I think this should be the standard moving forward. 😊
Congratulations to all the winners.
It is great to see this community really starting to gain traction now!
