What is considered spam or abuse?

  • Posts that require upvotes to enter or play in a contest or game.

I rarely Resteem anything and don't like this as a mandatory element of entry.

I've found that without the upvote element, not everyone will upvote the post, but will do everything else to enter the contest in hopes of avoiding it. I've posted a pretty hefty prize pool and three equally hard-to-predict matches/games, so I hope no one views this as spam.

I've never used the resteem element before and was trying it out. I've removed that as a requirement, though...you're right, that should be optional.

I can't understand why anybody would do that. I suppose that the best counter to that is to put a portion of each post into a prize pool - incentivising people to vote rather than making it mandatory.

Come to think of it, I can probably guess who those people are.

I didn't even look at the prize pool - I just want to win ๐Ÿ†

I heard that. Any winnings I have, I'm donating to the community for further growth. I'm with you, I want to win as well.

Sounds good - I don't think I'll be winning this week ๐Ÿ˜†

Yeah, me either. However, we do have a chance to climb back into it today. Only one person even scored a point in round 1.

Well I can't imagine anybody predicted Southampton to get a draw without conceding a goal! They haven't kept a clean sheet all season so that came as a massive surprise!
