I will vote every post that follows these rules at full voting weight beginning at $2.57 until either my delegation period is up, or until I simply run out of votes to give! My delegation period is set to end tomorrow (Friday). Official start is the moment my VP hits 100%.
Super beautiful rainbow outside my window yesterday morningWhat Makes an Excellent Post?
Recently, I've seen many shitty posts that raise a question for me. Is money the only thing that is important on Steemit to people these days? I invite everyone today to PROVE ME WRONG! Let's fill up feeds today with quality posts to spark reflection and improvement across the Steemisphere.
Dolphins and Whales Invited to Play
If you see this as an effort that you would like to help, please feel free to follow the tags for #aimforexcellence and #stopshitposts today and join me on the voting spree :D
The Rules
- Entry open to EVERYONE!
- One Entry per Person
- New Posts Only (must be made AFTER this one)
- Entry must be well formatted and use proper grammar to qualify
- Use tag #aimforexcellence or #stopshitposts as the first tag
- Must only use ONE of the two tags, to mark the category for your post (this is how I will find your entry)
Aim For Excellence
Acceptable submissions are the following: (Please choose ONE)
- Personal Stories
- Poetry
- Original Art
- Useful strategies that will help NEW USERS on Steemit
- What is an excellent post to you?
Stop Shit Posts
- What defines a shitty post?
- PSA for Abuse and Plagiarism mitigation
- What to check for before submitting your article for Steemit
- What makes a good community?
The Caveat
By entering this contest, participants understand my right to
- Not receive my vote if your posts falls below standards
- Flag your post due to plagiarism, abuse, or rule breaks
- Flag your post due to being spammy
- Not vote your post, if no visible effort is made on your entry
- And otherwise vote or flag (down vote) posts to demonstrate what will be rewarded and what is not tolerated (by me) on Steemit
In order to stop negative behaviors and practices, we should become the example for new users to look up to. Curbing bad habits early, and embracing effort and positive behavior will make great waves on planet Steemit.
My goal is to stop problems, before they have a chance to start.
A big Shoutout and Thank you to @berniesanders, for making contests like these possible. If you haven't already, please vote @nextgencrypto for witness!
Resteem to help get this contest exposure, I look forward to some excellent posts today c:
does #aimforexcellence have to be the first tag for the post or as long as it's included it's all good?
Must be first the first tag
Aight... Thanks!
10 1/2 hours left!!!
it's fine, I can write a decent poem in 10 mins, but I don't make it, it's fine as well, at least others get to benefit from your helping hand. Kampai!
I am resteeming this. I may join also.
@seyiodus.
Thanks for the love, hope to read yours soon!~
Great initiative to uplift the standards of excellence here... :-)
Thank you rok-sivante, everyone should feel welcomed and inspired to improve :3
This is a great undertaking and I will join and support.
A bit nervous though haha.
So, lez do diz @maverickinvictus? XD
Ohh I like this one very much! You are so creative
Thank you kubbs!~ I am stepping up my contest skills ♡
Proud of you, you could up vote the other comments here too ifyou want.
20 minutes until full power! I plan to come back for these awesome conments at some point soon
I see what you are doing, so smart! Going to go draft my post for tomorrow. Talk to you soon love!
Cool idea babe! I did just "shit" post myself I guess like a min ago lolz
Lmao I saw xD I know every post isn't a masterpiece/ manifesto. But I don't want quality to become a dying art. Thanks for the support!
hahah well yeah of course! And no problem! Cya around!
I may have to join in this effort. Though it is a shame that I already posted a personal Bio a few days ago.
You have all day today, please try your best! I gotta change one thing...
Haha, alright then. Challenge accepted!
yes! lets do it
Awesome! I look forward to your entry!
is the contest over?? i used same tag on my posts
The contest was only for one day, sorry for the late reply. I will be checking out your posts in the future, thank you for reaching out c:
Well this sounds like an awesome idea. I should have read this before I posted today. I guess I'd best be writing something early on tomorrow then, eh?
The contest is only up for the next 18 hours! Get the post in, I believe in your ability!!
I find that I rarely stress about my writing... until right now when I suddenly decide to do something that is calling for 'excellence' and the doubt creeps in! But I did it! Thank you for the challenge!
At any rate, I know that I'm here because I want to write, blog and meet new people, so I am all for encouraging more amazing posts that aren't just looking for the $$$
You did great @byn,
But I am glad to see you rise to the challenge, and try hard! I still get scared to write sometimes too, but I can tell that it enjoyed making it, and that had me also have a ton of fun reading it.
I like money too, but there's many more important things than that.
With love,
@shello
I couldn't agree more! Thank you.
Tryhard mode activated.
An excellent challenge, finally a place to find guaranteed quality! The 24 hour burst should manifest as an up-candle in the value of STEEM :D Though I don't know if I get to figure something out for the challenge in time.
Heya @celestal!
You have 13 hours from this point. While the market may seem bearish, quality for Steemit is on a bull trend. Looking forward to your entry!
Love,
@shello
Well said!
Btw, does written fiction count as art on the challenge?
Thanks! Need some positivity seeing red everywhere xD
If it is not previously published and is a one shot story, I'll let is slide c:
Love the idea, upvoted and I will resteem it.
I should have a post ready to go soon.
Thank you for the support, looking forward to your entry!
But you didn't define what's shitty posts for you.You should try to educate new users/ or the old ones who are doing it wrong by commenting on their post instead of complaining about these things in every of your post.
Lately, I have also noticed that too much of complaining trends about posts and all, but these guys never want to improve or educate new users.Steemit is full of hypocrites by the way.
And there's always a chance of getting flags from some arrogants on a comment like this, because they simply won't like my comment, and already ready to show power of deligated SP.
No offence. Cheers :)
Hello @katteasis,
Wherever there are arrogant people, there are ignorant ones too, and everyone is different c: I'm sorry that you feel like I am being negative and complaining. You are right, Steemit would be a lot nicer of a place if people became more educated. Thank you for your example. The important thing to remember, is to read posts all the way through, and DYOR before making choices on what you would like to say, or the position/stance you are coming from.
With love,
@shello
I am not complaining only about you but I am talking as a whole. In fact I enjoy reading your posts time and again.
Just wanted to tell you that Don't walk on the same rader as others are doing just to seek attention from whales, in reality, they never want to improve or grow the community.Sooner or later they will come to the ground for sure.
Good day!!
There's a lot of crazy two-faced people out for greed, and I see that it's happening more often here. I get it, there is in a lot to be concerned about. I feel that as long as my intentions are transparent, things can work out. The reasons for mentioning my delegation here is that my vote prior to this was a penny at best, and after tomorrow, I won't be able to reward like this, so this is the one chance where I can share a good portion of rewards.
Most contests on Steemit last 7 days, but because of my voting activity I can only afford to do one day. It is for a good cause, and the only thing that I want from the whales, and other super users is to consider helping out voting up some of the participants, because a few of the posts I read today were well written.
I'll try my best to hear your warning out though. Thanks
Are you from Hawaii? That is in Oahu if I'm not wrong.
Hello @jon24jon24
You are correct! Instead of ocean view, I have mountain view in Waikiki. Mfw you can just tell which island by the photo :0
Mahalo,
@shello
I am from Maui ;). It is easy to identify an island if you are from there.
I've only been to Kahalui, Maui is so much prettier than Oahu IMO also...
CHEEPONO 😂
Very nice initiative. :)
Thank you very much c:
Thank you. You must be recouped immensely for adding a resourceful piece to this community @shello
Hello @richforever,
Thank you for the love and support @richforever, it is appreciated :3

resteemed^^
Thank you @skyleap! You're the best
(´• ω •`)♡
Great project and effort...:)
Here here!
I'm late but do spend a good amount of time on my posts and try to make them informative.
Thanks for the vote earlier🥇
I am kicking butt as a writer this week, but pictures are not uploading. It is killing me but I am getting my thoughts into verbiage and had a blast running the Christmas Parade with my son, @walky123 , today. I took off of work to volunteer this year and it was so great I have to tell the story!
This is a welcome initiative. Your determination to sanitise the community of irrelevant posts is a good one. This move will surely ensure that insightful, informative and educative posts do not go unnoticed. Keep the flag flying @shello
