Hey Cece,
I also see no problem in using SBD to gather together. On the contrary, interaction on Steemit is beneficial for everyone, so why don't interact? 😀
Regarding the upvotes: yes, I am afraid that upvotes on comments can easily be manipulated. And it is all legal, no special technical knowledge required. There are vote-buying services where you can buy votes. One of these services is for example Minnowbooster, but there are also others, such as Smartsteem (with which I have no experience so far).
By using these services, you can buy upvotes from actual users. When buying votes this way, there are no votingbots invovled. From the outside, it is not transparent, so you cannot say if this is a "real" upvote from another user or if the user just bought upvotes from other users.
I just wanted to point this out, since it might be relevant.
CU, Chris

Well... I'm going to have to see how things go this week . I would hope no one in the contest would use the bots but I may have to specify that. I'm certainly not about to start policing the upvotes so I am glad you pointed that out to me, thank you 💖
I think that's very sensible! I hope that in our small community this will not be a big problem. Unfortunately, I won't make it this time.
CU, Chris
I was hoping that but it happened so I changed the rules again ughhh haha thanks for the heads up Chris 💖
Hey Cece, ohh, sh**!
I thought that nobody would do it, since it was quite obvious that we know about the possibility and would be able to detect it...
Anyway, let's focus on the contributions which are soo delicious and have a very high quality! 😀
CU, Chris
