Thanks for the list of participants. Makes identification easier and helps increase interaction. It is good to be able to read the writings of colleagues ... to get to know them better, to learn, to follow them in the first place.

"Whether you're a creative writer or a financial genius" ... we must admit that many (now I mean me) do not fall into this category but I hope to write a financial genius, from the point of view of the ego excessively swollen.

This month I turn four years old in Steem / Hive. I've never used downvote, I don't like it because it paves the way for abuse. I think it's more correct ... ignoring!

I didn't get on your list because I posted later. I think one effect of publishing this list of participants will be that most will post as soon as possible to be mentioned. I'll try to do that. Thank you for this initiative!

You're welcome on that list. It was the result of missing two contestants over the last two weeks. And, given your entry, I worked. I'm glad you were able to add something to the contest.

I've read about the abuse of a downvote, but in terms of my participation in the contest, I like using it as a tool. I started with the basics first.

  • If I find evidence, for instance, of possible plagiarism then I'll downvote and leave a pretty courteous message as a means to notify. In two cases, the writer's actually edited their post and responded as courteously as I did. So, I removed the DV.
  • In another case, I received a colorful response or someone became argumentative about how what they did was correct. The result was that I did NOT remove that downvote.

I can't speak for the abuse of others, but I can definitely control myself. If someone's post has other problems I won't downvote, I just won't vote.

I'd like to keep making posts like this one as a heads up. I think I'll start on Tuesday for next week's post to try and give people more time.

Well, it means that I did not understand that you mean breaking the rules and plagiarism, that is, appropriating someone else's work. In this case, yes, you are right. I was referring to downvotes in general, I saw a few campaigns that destroyed and I'm not sure they were right.

I'm still new at this so I start with the obvious regarding plagiarism. It's universally condemned on the blockchain so there's less resistance to the concept when I downvote. I also won't DV without an opportunity for correcting the issue.

In general? I'm still figuring out that part myself. When I learn more, I may DV more, but I'll still add the opportunity to remove it.

Of course, this is a normal attitude to be able to fix a possible mistake.

It's working pretty well so far.

The whole concept of "ask nicely get a nice response" seems to be working well. Everyone I've DV'd in the contest adjusted their posts and I removed the DV. Only one person hasn't responded. I will not assume whether they care or not. And this is just one contest. I can't imagine what groups like Hive Watchers have to go through.

This is great, some understood, others were scared, others did not know they were wrong. It is important to be able to identify the "professional plagiarists"!
