Let's bring back more users' interaction
I have been thinking of ways to stimulate more interaction from users and the best way is for read.cash dev to add benefits for comments. Imagine the bot tipping good and relevant comments - there will be more interaction in the comments right? But it may also come with a negative effect - spam commenting. While we wait this unlikely move, I do like to start a new initiative which I will call Comment League for now. You can always suggest a better name. It is not a contest.
This is an introductory post, where I will share my idea and plans then you can give suggestions on how to make it better and effective.
Why the Comment League?
I wish to see more interaction in the comment section of posts. There is no better way to stimulate more engagement from users than to give incentive. Hopefully, it will motivate users to comment more than they already do and to stimulate those that don't comment at all to start doing so.
The main idea behindย Comment League is to encourage as many users as possible to become more engaging and start interacting with other users. We all need to help in building some strong and interactive community.
How it works?
The plan is to award points for comments and have a leaderboard with weekly, monthly and annual rewards to the top or all commenters based on the total points accumulated.
Personally, I will offer tips to the best comment on each article I publish. The best comment will be decided after 48 hours from the time the article was published. There will be lots of tips for creative and relevant comments to adds value to my articles.
Generally, there will be a leaderboard with list of commenters and points earned. For many to benefit, I will need the help of users. I can only keep tracks of comments on my articles. So, I expect other users who are interested to keep track of the comments on their articles and give me daily or weekly report of the users and the number of relevant comments received - at most one comment per article. From the reports submitted by individual user, I will update the points on the leaderboard.
Prize Pool
The reward will be decided if this is well received by other users. Also their contribution will determine the weekly or monthly payout.
We can all donate to the initiative. I will kick start by donating $10 monthly to the initiative.
Going Telegram
I have created a cozy place on telegram where we can chat and exchange ideas on how to make this initiative work. You always send your thought in the comment and we can discuss it on the telegram group.

This post is just a rough draft of the idea. I will improve on and update it. Your suggestions can be helpful. It will be begin on November 1, 2020. But for now let's suggest on ways to improve on all I have shared herein to make the initiative effective.
I hope to hear from you all.
Is a good initiave, yet we do not need any more comments (really ๐ ), activity bonus is taking care of that for us, what we really need is meaningful comments. Read cash suffered from a lot of spam in early stages for giving our points to comments (it was necessary to implement a minimum length and to disallow duplicated comments, and it wasn't enough). Needless to say you have a serious issue here: to be reviewing all comments from hundreds of articles, and score them, and keep a leaderboard is a huge work needing a big team (that I'm guessing won't be volunteering), unless of course you have the ability to automate all that trough a robot โbut read cash don't support external robots ๐. Let me know what's your solution to this.
Also, do you expect to evaluate comments of any community, or only your own community?
