Welcome to the GHSC Community Engagement Contest

For those of you that have not heard of Global Homestead Collective, it is an ever-growing community of self-reliant individuals from around the world. If you would like a great overview check out this POST from @freedompoint one of the founders.

What do we hope the contest accomplishes?

To help build our community
Foster engagement between our members
Encourage our members' growth

We feel this contest will support our community helping to unite, educate and encourage each other as we recognize the hard work that is going on all around us. As we continue the contest we will be evaluating the impact and possibly tweaking things to better suit the needs of the community, so each week be sure to check the rules for changes.

Last Weeks Winners....

First Place @digitaldan 5 SBI Shares

Second Place @senorcoconut 3 SBI Shares

Third Place @professorbromide 2 SBI Shares

Just 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.

Bonus

Two quality comments were randomly selected and upvoted at +~ $0.20

GHSC Comment Contest Week 3

You can earn Steem Basic Income shares just by engaging with GHSC posts.

Finding The Posts:

The 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.

How Do I Sign UP:

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.

Weekly Start and End:

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).

Winner Selections:

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.
