In principle, I'm not against resteeming, however, I don't like the way that it makes it hard to determine which are my posts and which are other peoples' on my "blog" page.
I generally tend to stay away from contests that stipulate that you must resteem for this reason, but I liked your idea so I thought that I would give it a go.
Creating a post and linking back to this original post has the same effect as resteeming in terms of exposure to my followers - and it allows me to keep my own brand / content on my blog page =)
I definitely understand where youβre coming from and when the contest gets a little more traction, Iβll remove the resteem requirement.
