RE: **Closed** Week 10 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest
I apologize if there is some drama I am unaware of. Just wanted to say that it is really hard getting around to everyone. I know last week I didn't get to a third of the entries to look and vote. Votes as all of us know go really quickly. For example, I just logged in, and my vote power was barely above 83%. After upvoting the replies waiting for me, and the PIF post and yours, I am already down again to 79%.
I will admit I am discerning when I do go through the submissions. There are times I upvote the submission itself, but for whatever reason I do not personally click with the people being featured. I save those votes because I know there will be plenty to give votes to of those I would possibly click with, while also keeping in mind I want to make my own posts which I need voting power to interact with those kind enough to vote that and comment.
I would hope no one submitting ever takes it personally if I do not have enough voting power, or simply do not click with the submissions. I am discerning (as are the submissions accepted here) in who I upvote, hoping that the ones I do interact with can develop into a longer term association due to our shared interests. I can thankfully say I have found a few through this contest now where the both of us have clicked with one another. A large number of those I have reached out to for whatever reason did not find me to be the bastion of awesomeness, go figure, lol.
I think I speak for a fair number of people when I say you are well thought of here in the community, and your involvement in this challenge is one of leadership.
