Indeed, I know, and I was one of them. I liked the old format so much better, but alas, it's gone, so I flow with how it is now. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If only there aren't #Ecency users whose comments are too short, then Melinda wouldn't have (needed to) make that change in her #Ecency Engagement Leaderboard weekly awarding. 🧘♂️🤯
Yep, I agree. There often does seem to be people that spoil a good thing by trying to game or take advantage of it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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. 🤯🤓

Indeed, and that became fairly obvious pretty quickly. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

About half a year has passed since Melinda and some active #Ecency users noticed that some Ecency users shoot up at the top of the #Ecency Engagement Leaderboards quickly even with (very) short and similar comments, and nothing apparently changed on how Ecency engagement leaders are displayed. 🧘♂️🤯

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. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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). 🧘♂️🤓

That certainly seems to be the case, and yep, contest rule adjustments are a necessity I'd say. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

After all, contests are supposed to be !FUN and encouraging, so the hosts of any contest in general should adjust accordingly. 🧘♂️🤓

Indeed, and it should be fun for the Hiver who runs the contests too. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
