Merry Christmas to all of Hive! It’s a wonderful time of year to remember to be kind and giving to each other, although this is something that we should ideally practice year-round. Regardless, any time is a good time to start, so let’s spread some good will around with a new contest! We’re going to use this contest as a precursor to a monthly contest that we’re setting up, which will contain even bigger prizes.
The Contest!
The contest is open to anyone on Hive. It consists of providing the most quality threads using the #freecompliments and #christmascontest tag over the next 48 hours. Threads which use the tags but are completely irrelevant to the tags will not count towards this contest (of note, we still curate all tagged threads with a minimum 1% vote at this time).
Current examples of excellent quality threads using the tag are @joseal2020’s daily threads with original motivational quotes. Combining quantity of such threads with this type of quality greatly increases the odds of winning.
Thus, this contest will be based on a combination of quantity and quality.
However, there are a few more conditions to win, and we’re going to spice up the prizes based on how well the tag is trending…
In order for someone to win this contest, the #freecompliments tag must remain trending at #1 on the InLeo UI for at least 36 hours. If it falls out, then nobody wins this particular contest. Additionally, the prize will only be given out if the vast majority of engagement is quality engagement, rather than spamming the tag.
What’s the prize?
If the #freecompliments tag remains at #1 for at least 36 hours without falling out, then the top engager will win a 1 month Leo Premium subscription.
What type of engagement will count?
There are many ways that this can play out.
Using parent threads with the tag is the easiest way to get the tag’s count up in the tag rankings on the InLeo UI. Using the tag with motivational content, discussions of compliments, tagging people with a compliment, positivity, mental health initiatives, etc. are all relevant and practical uses of the tag, and I’m sure there are many others as well that I’ve missed.
Replying to threads while using the tag does not count towards the tag rankings on the InLeo UI, but we will absolutely count these as engagement! After all, leaving a genuine compliment on someone else’s thread is an ideal use of the tag.
Another use of the tag which we’ll accept is one which promotes the community and/or posts that are made within the community. For instance, if you were to write up a threadstorm about this post (with a very brief summary of 1-2 sentences), link it, and use the tag, that would certainly count as quality engagement. It’s also effort that’s highly appreciated!
Conclusion
We’re offering some great prizes for quality use of the #freecompliments and #christmascontest tags on Threads. We believe this contest will increase positive engagement among many members on Threads, and possibly even lead to new connections and bonds. We’re also using this as a precursor and test for a monthly contest which we’re setting up. Go get ‘em, Lions!
I would love to hear any and all opinions about this contest and upcoming projects 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.
