Yep, I agree. There often does seem to be people that spoil a good thing by trying to game or take advantage of it. πππβ¨π€

I think that in general, any contest that exists will have some people trying to take advantage of it, so the contest hosts should probably have the responsibility in adjusting their rules for the contest itself to be as fair as possible (to every participant). π§ββοΈπ€

That certainly seems to be the case, and yep, contest rule adjustments are a necessity I'd say. πππβ¨π€

After all, contests are supposed to be !FUN and encouraging, so the hosts of any contest in general should adjust accordingly. π§ββοΈπ€

Indeed, and it should be fun for the Hiver who runs the contests too. πππβ¨π€

I think it's usually more !FUN if a contest here on Hive is run by more than one person on Hive !INDEED. π§ββοΈπ€

Well, yes, collaboration helps make everything run more smoothly. πππβ¨π€

That's not to mention more people hosting a contest means more variety and !FUN surprises, not just simply fair. π§ββοΈπ€

It looks like the #Ecency dev team members responsible for the #Ecency Engagement Leaderboards simply count the number of posts or comments published by an Ecency user for the leaderboard ranking without taking into account the length of (and delays between) posts and comments !INDEED. π€―π€

About half a year has passed since Melinda and some active #Ecency users noticed that some other Ecency users shot up to the top of the #Ecency Engagement Leaderboards quickly even with (very) short and similar comments, and nothing still apparently changed on how Ecency engagement leaders are displayed. π§ββοΈπ€―
Indeed. I think that it would have been better to resolve the underlying mechanism that allowed useless comments to rise to the top, rather than changing the nature of the contest. πππβ¨π€

It's probably because the word "useless" is useless in nearly all sentences. π€―π

Farm LOLZ tokens when you Delegate Hive or Hive Tokens.
Click to delegate: 10 - 20 - 50 - 100 HP
I think that Melinda could use (better if from the Ecency dev team) a script which determines the average number of words (or characters) on the comments of the Top 10 users on the #Ecency Weekly Engagement Leaderboard such that users with very low averages won't get prizes, !INSTEAD of changing the way winners are selected. π§ββοΈπ€―π€

Yes, I agree, that was another good option. Bjorn could have whipped one up quickly I'm sure. πππβ¨π€

In that case, I would suggest one of Melinda and Bjorn talk to the other regarding such useful script, though I think that Melinda won't simply change back how #Ecency Weekly Engagement Leaders are awarded just because of certain tools. π€―π

Yeah, it's doubtful that she'd change back, so best just to accept and move forward. πππβ¨π€
