Hello @bunnipuncher, I applaud your spirit of help to those of us who are just starting out on this platform, so I have seen that there are rules to follow to have a smooth transition without being the victim of flag wars, I think the best way to do it is to dissuade the contest a little bit and add a little more content to each publication and I don't know if you could add a Post to it a few times that the contestants publish a Post on the topic you want. The idea is not to give up, but to find the formula to grow and consolidate. Greetings.
