STOP SHIT POSTS & AIM FOR EXCELLENCE: CONTEST STARTS

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

I will vote every post that follows these rules at full voting weight beginning at $2.57 until either my delegation period is up, or until I simply run out of votes to give! My delegation period is set to end tomorrow (Friday). Official start is the moment my VP hits 100%.

What Makes an Excellent Post?

Recently, I've seen many shitty posts that raise a question for me. Is money the only thing that is important on Steemit to people these days? I invite everyone today to PROVE ME WRONG! Let's fill up feeds today with quality posts to spark reflection and improvement across the Steemisphere.

Dolphins and Whales Invited to Play

If you see this as an effort that you would like to help, please feel free to follow the tags for #aimforexcellence and #stopshitposts today and join me on the voting spree :D


The Rules

  • Entry open to EVERYONE!
  • One Entry per Person
  • New Posts Only (must be made AFTER this one)
  • Entry must be well formatted and use proper grammar to qualify
  • Use tag #aimforexcellence or #stopshitposts as the first tag
  • Must only use ONE of the two tags, to mark the category for your post (this is how I will find your entry)

Aim For Excellence

Acceptable submissions are the following: (Please choose ONE)

  • Personal Stories
  • Poetry
  • Original Art
  • Useful strategies that will help NEW USERS on Steemit
  • What is an excellent post to you?

Stop Shit Posts

  • What defines a shitty post?
  • PSA for Abuse and Plagiarism mitigation
  • What to check for before submitting your article for Steemit
  • What makes a good community?

The Caveat

By entering this contest, participants understand my right to

  • Not receive my vote if your posts falls below standards
  • Flag your post due to plagiarism, abuse, or rule breaks
  • Flag your post due to being spammy
  • Not vote your post, if no visible effort is made on your entry
  • And otherwise vote or flag (down vote) posts to demonstrate what will be rewarded and what is not tolerated (by me) on Steemit

In order to stop negative behaviors and practices, we should become the example for new users to look up to. Curbing bad habits early, and embracing effort and positive behavior will make great waves on planet Steemit.



My goal is to stop problems, before they have a chance to start.


A big Shoutout and Thank you to @berniesanders, for making contests like these possible. If you haven't already, please vote @nextgencrypto for witness!

Resteem to help get this contest exposure, I look forward to some excellent posts today c:

does #aimforexcellence have to be the first tag for the post or as long as it's included it's all good?

Must be first the first tag

Aight... Thanks!

10 1/2 hours left!!!

it's fine, I can write a decent poem in 10 mins, but I don't make it, it's fine as well, at least others get to benefit from your helping hand. Kampai!

I am resteeming this. I may join also.

@seyiodus.

Thanks for the love, hope to read yours soon!~

Great initiative to uplift the standards of excellence here... :-)

Thank you rok-sivante, everyone should feel welcomed and inspired to improve :3

Ohh I like this one very much! You are so creative

Thank you kubbs!~ I am stepping up my contest skills ♡

Proud of you, you could up vote the other comments here too ifyou want.

20 minutes until full power! I plan to come back for these awesome conments at some point soon

I see what you are doing, so smart! Going to go draft my post for tomorrow. Talk to you soon love!

This is a great undertaking and I will join and support.

A bit nervous though haha.

Cool idea babe! I did just "shit" post myself I guess like a min ago lolz

Lmao I saw xD I know every post isn't a masterpiece/ manifesto. But I don't want quality to become a dying art. Thanks for the support!

hahah well yeah of course! And no problem! Cya around!

I may have to join in this effort. Though it is a shame that I already posted a personal Bio a few days ago.

You have all day today, please try your best! I gotta change one thing...

Haha, alright then. Challenge accepted!

yes! lets do it

Awesome! I look forward to your entry!

is the contest over?? i used same tag on my posts

The contest was only for one day, sorry for the late reply. I will be checking out your posts in the future, thank you for reaching out c:

Well this sounds like an awesome idea. I should have read this before I posted today. I guess I'd best be writing something early on tomorrow then, eh?

The contest is only up for the next 18 hours! Get the post in, I believe in your ability!!

I find that I rarely stress about my writing... until right now when I suddenly decide to do something that is calling for 'excellence' and the doubt creeps in! But I did it! Thank you for the challenge!

At any rate, I know that I'm here because I want to write, blog and meet new people, so I am all for encouraging more amazing posts that aren't just looking for the $$$

You did great @byn,

But I am glad to see you rise to the challenge, and try hard! I still get scared to write sometimes too, but I can tell that it enjoyed making it, and that had me also have a ton of fun reading it.

I like money too, but there's many more important things than that.

With love,
@shello

I couldn't agree more! Thank you.

Tryhard mode activated.

An excellent challenge, finally a place to find guaranteed quality! The 24 hour burst should manifest as an up-candle in the value of STEEM :D Though I don't know if I get to figure something out for the challenge in time.

Heya @celestal!

You have 13 hours from this point. While the market may seem bearish, quality for Steemit is on a bull trend. Looking forward to your entry!

Love,
@shello

While the market may seem bearish, quality for Steemit is on a bull trend.

Well said!

Btw, does written fiction count as art on the challenge?

Thanks! Need some positivity seeing red everywhere xD
