I understand your concerns and where did the downvotes came from. But I would like to draw your attention to a couple of things
- Any engagement post whether it is #leomarkettalk or #pobtalk it is the same every day. When the engagement posts were made on sports I see that they were same every day. Not saying if thats right or wrong but I was inspired from these posts.
- I made a point to provide a different topics and add couple of lines to not appear it like the spam. But this time I will make it more comprehensive as far as possible.
- Third point I understand and I will make sure that the comments are responded to as this is the purpose of the engagement projects. I will be around and would try and engage more with users.
Nice to see you are bringing this back! I feel it is a shame you did not want to talk to us at all about why we downvoted it as they were the only posts we every downvoted! We love cinema and film, however it was difficult seeing a "Engagement" post where comments are not being engaged with day after day because then it looks like spam! However if you are going to be engaging people talking about cinema with some good themes to chat about this time then it will be awesome to have you back.
I saw your downvotes. Those articles were spammy. Sometimes people DV and they don't have time to a long explanation. @cinetalkies did you reach out to them? These guys don't maliciously downvote. Engagement is critical on either side.
Thanks bro not they didn’t reach out but will just leave them to do their thing! We never down voted on anything before but we’re finding it frustrating! Did not really think about the reaction! However if they want to actually talk about films we more than happy to chat

We shouldn't have to worry about the reaction. I could understand the reaction if they reached out and you were rude, but that never happened. Anyway, talking about films is cool especially if it isn't spammy.
Yes we love films! Problem is when I go on Cine my watch list is getting longer and longer!
It's a slippery slope between spam and original content. Engagement is original, but so should the article's content. I'll be getting into this area soon enough on POB and VYB.
Template articles provide nearly identical structure in each article. A problem comes in to play when the content is also essentially identical. There's nothing new or original to present to the community. I would recommend at least 50%/50% original content and recycled content.

I guess, we all love cinema. And together we will grow. If you look at the statistics #cine is far away from other communities inspite of being such an interesting theme. Overall if you study the basics of SEO you will understand the importance of engagement from google's eyes. #cinetalkies is the initiative which is helpful for the cine community in many ways. Hence, I feel if some one is doing the job, and there are some improvements needed then you should sort it out rather than downvoting. You draw memes, which I may not like. But its needed for the growth of community so if I start downvoting just because I dont like what you do then its not fair. You probably did the same thing. The initiative was helping many of us to see the cinema or rather study the cinema from different perspective. The challenges given were helping us to study the cinema. I never knew many aspects of Indian cinema inspite of being avid cinema lover. #cinetalkies was giving us that perspective. Some user was publishing korean facts. I think this was much more value addition. I guess you never participated or commented. You have your perspective but its not necessary that it should be correct. Hence, if you can not encourage dont destroy. @gimmetricks1 has figured out ways to fight with downvotes now but my advise would be please dont fight
I hear what you are saying! I think our reaction came from a frustrated place as we loved the idea of cine! I guess we reacted without thinking and it was maybe not the best way! We apologies to @gimmetricks1 but am also really happy he has come back understanding the need to engage with comments!
Duplicate comment. It happens on the POB front end at times, though much less frequently now.
yes bit annoying when it does lol
I know. If it happens again, you can tag me on it if you can't remove it. It's more on a technical need than anything else. I can report it to POBio and thus the dev for the front end.
