Upvote this post (bigger reward for the winner)

I like the premise of your contest. It's fun but wanted to give you a heads up. The language can be construed as the upvote being a requirement which is often used in vote farming schemes.

Anyways, there was another that was basically copy/pasting contests with that requirement, bid botted them and it was pretty spammy.

I pointed them to the Steemit.com FAQ which defines having that requirement in a contest as being under the umbrella of their spam definition. Of course, that is only a guideline but it's existence affords a bit more leverage when going after abusive vote farms using said technique.

I probably used more words than necessary here but the main point is my requesting that you please make it clear that upvotes not be a requirement for entry. That way we can go after Johnny Vote Farmer for spam contests without them bitching about us not going after @soundwavesphoton.

Also, glad to see your rep isn't destroyed after flagging Bernie. Welcome to the I flagged a whale and survived club. Lol
