Any chance we can call it something other than "shilling" contest?
Shilling has a negative connotation to it. How about "promoting steem" contest.
Shilling is often referred to promoting a coin "without substance" just because you own some, which is often done by trolls.
I don't seem promoting steem as shilling. I see it better than that.
It's a fine line, but I think we should drop shilling. It's counter productive. Do you agree Tim?

...this doesn't apply to steem. :)
Good point. In the original content post, I made it clear that the name was being used in a joking way, but that part seems to have gotten lost along the way.
Ahh, yeah, I guess that was bound to happen. Thanks for taking my comment in stride. :)
