Hmm, not too pleased about competitions being based around upvote counts. It essentially means 'whoever happens to be the most popular will win', and you can't sift through every single account upvote and analyse whether or not each one is a bot

Do you have a suggestion of how we could arrange it with better security? We can easily change it if we catch it in time or at least make a more secure voting system for the next one.
Urgh Steemit doesn't inform me of replies (you know that but hey). I can't say I have the best way anyway, but typically the ones I like have people voting to put things up for consideration, then the OP makes the final choice. Can't think of a perfect way though, really...
You don't check the top of your "replies" page on a regular basis? I do.
Not regularly enough, but I caught yours within 2 hours! I typically just look at my most recent post comment numbers, but yeah I should be more disciplined
Im sure @rieki will approve the 'winner' manually and read them alll.. that is the best way i think. If the post doesnt look great then it doesnt win!
Hi alex! I'm actually not picking the winner! It's being voted on by the participants in the comments section :)
i know. i was responding to a comment that people were concerned that bots and self promotions could skew the results.. so i was suggesting that even if someone got most upvotes that you would read and have the final say.. If you read something that you thought really wasnt a good post.. maybe you would award the next best one.. just my idea so that you protect against groups just self voting each other to win things..
Oh yes, of course :) Although, I'm not actually running the challenge. It's being run by @steemdeepthink and I'm not one of the moderators there. Just a participant :)
Though, I guess I do have the final say in who the winner is in my mind ;)
Plus, as we all share and merge our ideologies and ideas and come to more whole conclusions, we're all winners in this process! So, it is a bit concerning that over half the comments on this post so far are discussing the parameters for winning rather than participating...
A very wise answer~*~
Thank you :) :)
Thank you =)>

lol.. yes this is one of the small issues with Steemit i guess.. we have to watch things and not waste our energy .. and also they do have valid points i think.. even if they never come to be.. i think a final say (approval) is a nice simple way to deal with it all..
That would help alleviate the concerns no doubt :) I agree with you!
Technically I'm running the challenge. As with other scenarios, if I somehow win I plan to split the win with the other runners up. @rieki is proving to be a natural deep thinker, so I find it highly likely that they will become an official member soon.
@rieki you are welcome to help take initiative and run challenge #2 if you are interested. We just need to build a list of topic suggestions and to make the post for it. If you want to take on that roll of helping to run the challenge, I'll talk to the other admin about making it official and giving you the posting key to help create challenge posts. Feel free to build more discussion in the #deepthink-challenges chat on discord about future challenge design and topics worthy of deepthink.
Thank you for the kind words :)
Awesome! I would love to create the next challenge. I have a host of ideas for it I'll throw at you :)
When are you thinking of having it launched, I know this challenge is still getting some action, but I'm ready to launch another one whenever!
I'll confer with the other Deepthink admins and see if they approve or would request additional qualifications for upgrading you to mod status. Once that's established, I think any time someone is ready to make Challenge #2 this week we can launch it. Let's chat on the discord about the topic ideas for it and perhaps aim for Sunday since it's a convenient weekly deadline?
Perfect! Let me know :) See you on discord!
