RE: The Discord that Fell the Tower (POB WOTW - S2W20)

I’ll revise the rules. I think I can set up some automation that will let me see cross posting of comments. That way, if you participate in commenting on other posts during the week, you can get credit for it.

It will change the contest and skew the normal grading. Can you see it and how it will affect the contest? It will bring change alright, but baby steps for now.

Hmmm. That seems to increase engagement overall. It will make the contest more productive. Thanks for consideration, sir.

Ok. I've revised the rules for this week. I'll cover it in the update, but it goes like this:
Engagement (Experimental): This could be the most challenging part of grading.

• 1 = No author engagement. Users engage in the conversation, but the author does not participate in the discussions (at least one sentence of engagement from the author should exist).
• 0 = No quality engagement exists in the contest articles (one to two word comments don't count). Spamming and automated responses do not count.
• 1 = Engagement exists. Author response to commentators in a normal conversation in their own post or others.
• 2 = Engagement flows. Authors and commentators fully engage in meaningful conversation that addresses contest articles and raises the overall quality of the author's work.

The intent will be to provide additional grading on authors who engage in communication either in their own article or that of others.

Thanks for the update. ☺
