Important Updates Regarding Contest (Participants must read)

Hey, I'm your admin @Ashma and I'm here to announce important things regarding contest. Currently there are 333 members which is great number and now we need to be responsible. Understand your responsibility towards this platform, do not spam it. We need good community, a community of skillful members.

Purpose of Contest I started this contest to encourage the quality authors to write more quality articles and push themselves to bring some quality to the Read Cash platform. That is the main Moto of the platform is also to provide exposure to the content creators along with some rewards to motivate them. I was also following the same inspiration and that's why I started this contest. Community Booster (Why?) Purpose of this activity is to grow our community. Bringing more authors onboard and getting more articles. And after very first week I found that members are throwing lots of articles, in order to get points that's why I changed the things and limited this activity to 2 community boosters daily. And I mentioned it in 3-4 reports and also told few members personally on twitter. (But some members didn't even read it once) Some of you might think, Why I asked you to link me : This is the way I get to know who created a community booster and it ease my work to calculate & allocate points to them. But What's Happening ? We were very good at first week, members were writing articles related to their personal niche, and it was very good. But now as we've grown, lots of members are getting involved into 'giveaways' and sharing some nonsense just to get some community boosters.

So I've decided to stop this and as it's end of the week-4 and it's time to act on it. This is the action from my side. Following Content Is Banned 1) **Giveaway** : If you're organising giveaways of any type or simply writing articles on such topic for the community booster then you'll be *disqualified* for the contest. 2) **Photography** : I'm glad to see various photographic content here but it's not the right platform or at least not for our contest. Contest is organised for improving your writing skills, though it is okay if you're sharing story along with that photographs. 3) **Short Posts** : Short post is the method to write about important updates regarding some special things not sharing internet quotes and other illogical or non important things. 4) **Recipe Posts** : It is impossible to find that whether you're writing the original stuff or just copy pasting it in case of recipe posts. So after getting suggestion from @kFatema I'm banning this niche. This is my opinion & improvements in contest, if you agree with me then let me know in comments and even if you disagree and want to discuss it with me send me message on twitter : https://twitter.com/ashma1818?s=09 We need to be more responsible now and contribute only quality content & stop spamming this awesome platform. I know how hard it is for developers to build and maintain this platform. So let's not waste their hard work. The growth of this platform mostly depends the donations (pledging) and people will be more attracted to this platform only if they find quality content here not spams or giveaways. Let me know if you agree or (why) you disagree with me.
