There we go. If you have time, check them out and see what you think. And if you like any, let the author know about it by leaving a great comment!

Discord, Tags, Delegations, and Upvotes

Please remember to use both the #pimp tag and the #india (or #indiaunited) tag on your posts. Using both will increase your chances of being curated by these two places. Also, using the #PIMP tag (and doing the required comments) will make you eligible to win some pimp in these end of the week reviews.

Please join our discord → Here. It’s kind of quiet there right now, but we hope to grow it. So please join, share your posts in the share room, and meet your fellow poets.

For the moment, all active poets in our community will get a 100% upvote from the community account. When the voting mana drops too low (under 90%) then preference will be given to poets who follow the community rules and comment on at least two other poems for every poem they post.

Please remember to delegate to us (this account, @hive-161465) if you are able. The more delegations we can get, the better the upvote we can give and the faster we can grow this community. If you are unable to delegate but still want to help out, you can set us as a beneficiary on your post (you can set this under the Advanced menu when posting). Everything this account makes is powered up to benefit us all.

Comments

We have a tie for most comments this week! @joseitosanchezs and @rinconpoetico7 each gave us a lot of good ones. 50 Ecency POINTS to each of you. And 10 to everyone else who left comments on at least two poems for every poem they posted. Thanks everyone!

Winner of Hive SBI and PIMP

Remember, only people who gave two comments for every poem they posted are eligible for this contest. The only exception is that new poets are giving a pass their first week here.

Excluding myself, that puts 10 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 8 people in the running for PIMP tokens.

I threw you guys into a random picker…

and the winner is…

For Hive SBI:

@rinconpoetico7 - 3 SBI
@dagger212 - 2 SBI
@maylenasland - 2 SBI
@michaelofurum - 2 SBI
@dante31 - 1 SBI

For PIMP tokens:

@dante31 - 50 PIMP
@joseitosanchezs - 50 PIMP
@michaelofurum - 50 PIMP
@kemmyb - 50 PIMP
@maylenasland - 50 PIMP

Congratulations!

(if you aren’t sure what SBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system run by the amazing @josephsavage. You can read about it here)

And thank you all for your wonderful poems!

Next Week ~ Next Prize

Next week will be the same reward — shares of Hive SBI and PIMP. For PIMP, you must use the #pimp tag. For both SBI and PIMP, you must comment at least twice for every poem you post.

The exact amount of Hive SBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week.

0–9 poets - 1 SBI
10–19 poets - 5 SBI (split 2–2–1)
20–49 poets - 10 SBI (split 3–2–2–2–1)

(Note, these numbers don’t include @moeknows or myself.)

So if you want a chance for Hive SBI, go write a poem! If you want a chance for a lot of Hive SBI, go recruit others (and write a poem)! Spread the word, upvote and share this post to make it more visible, contact poet buddies on Discord and try to talk them into joining our group.

Just remember the rules:

Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
If you offer criticism, keep it gentle and polite and remember the golden rule of criticism: say at least two positive things for every one thing you criticize.

Anyone caught breaking these rules will not be eligible for the reward.

I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s new poem in this next week.

(Note: If you’d like to donate anything for the contest, such as Hive Engine tokens or Hive, please get in touch with me. Look for me as dbooster#6252 on Discord.)
