@professorbromide 2 SBI SharesJust a quick word on the weighted totals, the quality of the comments can make a difference. We don't want to divulge the exact metrics we are using but they are designed to measure engagement quality. From the image below you can see that it is just not based on the number of comments, there are some engagement metrics at play.
Two quality comments were randomly selected and upvoted at +~ $0.20
@professorbromide and his Comment
@romeskie and her CommentThe contest will be centered around engagement with posts tagged with the #ghsc tag. The posts can easily be found by clicking on the trending tag #ghsc or the New Posts tag.
Simply comment on this post with “I Want In” and you will be added to the growing list of contestants. You will also be included in future contests unless you decide to opt out.
The contest will consider comments made between 12:00 A.M. Monday until Sunday 11:59 P.M. based on blockchain time (US Eastern Time Zone).
The winners for the Main part of the contest will be selected using an algorithm that not only counts the number of comments but also factors in some quality engagement metrics. So it is not only dependent on the number of posts that you comment on or the number of comments made, there will be a qualitative/engagement factor involved as well. The exact metric used will not be discussed to prevent users from attempting to game the system.
Before any awards are given a spot check of comments will be performed. If numerous “Spam-type” or non-quality comments are found the award will move to the next person on the list. Spam comments would be something like the proverbial “Nice post.” “I follow, you follow” etc.
