We received five contribution posts this week, same as last week. This is a high scoring week with the majority of the contributions scoring in the 90s.

Active Assessors for the Week

• @enforcer48
• @guiltyparties
• @anthonyadavisii

Metrics: 2019

The highest month for contributions was April with 20 posts; the lowest was January with 7. May presently has a total of 17, making it the secod highest month.

The total sum of all 2019 contributions stands at 72 to date. Four of those were subsequently rejected for various reasons but are still included in these numbers as having been received.

A total of 18 contributors made posts under the @utopian-io anti-abuse category so far this year. This still stands true today. The top contributor is @jaguar.force with 15 valid contributions.

A total of 5 different assessors were responsible for evaluating and moderating the contributions for 2019.

The reason that there are fewer assessments reviewed than submitted is because a total of 4 were rejected as wholly invalid for the category and were thus not assessed.

Optimization Tools for Contributors

• Mindmeister - Create a project task schedule for your anti-abuse initiative

Every week I'll change these up so watch this space.

Good Contributions to the Anti-Abuse Category

A good contribution doesn't have to be on a particularly pressing anti-abuse subject to be relevant. For example, you don't have to write about investigating plagiarism or something where you've personally gotten your hands dirty and put yourself at risk.

A good contribution will typically have the following checked off:

• The post will be interesting to read (you don't want to have the reader give up halfway through because of boredom)
• The post will be by someone who knows the anti-abuse landscape of the Steem ecosystem
• The writer will evidently care about the anti-abuse topic they are writing about
• The post will have some helpful metrics or images to guide the reader
• The post will strive to educate the reader on how to recognize abuse and empower them to fight it

Mistakes to Avoid

• The most common mistake to avoid is tackling an anti-abuse issue that you are not all that familiar with. The readers in the anti-abuse category and ourselves the moderators are highly savvy in regards to various abuses on the Steem blockchain. We know what to look for and we can gauge your level of knowledge.
• Poor grammar or spelling is another factor in a poorly-assessed contribution. We understand that English may be a second language for a lot of users. Getting your post proof-read by a friend will go a long way to ensuring it free of as many grammatical and spelling errors as possible.
• Avoid long paragraphs and poor formatting where possible. Use the complete range of Markup options available to you. Divide your thoughts under headings and subheadings to make them clear. Use thoughtful graphics and images that enhance your message rather than detract from it. No one wants to see flashing Gifs of cats in a post that's meant to be taken seriously.
