RE: [ENG/ITA] Battling at the Top + Target Practice Ruleset! / Scontri al Vertice + Target Practice Rulest!

I thought that writing a post with more content inside could be more interesting for the reader
Yeah, it's indeed interesting, but when you participate in a contest/challenge you need to follow the given rules or else you will be skipped. Isn't this is how it works ?? You participate Battle Mage Secrets challenge where you need to create a content with the given ruleset theme, It's not like 1 person reading 100 other player's posts, it's 100 other players reading 100 or more posts. We all like splinterlands and we all like upvotes (who don't love money ?) but to get that you have to follow the given rules.
I'd also like to hear the opinion of Splinterlands' official curators, like @libertycrypto27 @mango-juice and @alokkumar121, because I put effort in writing my Splinterlands posts and, if my effort is worthless and I should change what I do, I'd like to know it.
Sure they can share what they think, But I believe your effort is not worthless, you just need to do it in the right way.
Untill 2 weeks ago people were allowed to write about what they like to support the game, as long as it was about Splinterlands, original and of some quality. If this has changed, that's ok, but I'd like to have an official confirmation, so I can change my schedule and start writing only about what we are all required in the challenges.
It's not like you are not allowed to write about what you like, you are free to write anything you want. But the challenge you are talking about it was social media challenge, earlier there was not specific theme there to follow but right now from past few week there is specific theme. so right now on both battle mage & social media challenge have theme to follow. But if you write a amazing splinterlands posts then SPL curators will support that even if you don't participate, it just needs to be informative and quality full.
I believe that the lack of different contents is not going to help Splinterlands onboarding new users
That wrong all, I think every Hive user know about Splinterlands game so there is not much to do with onboarding new users, we need to go outside this chain and bring new people.
I get it, but the Challenge post doesn't say that I can't write about the challenge AND something different. And if it does, I completely missed it. But if it doesn't, well, in that case I didn't break any rules of the Challenge itself, so I should be able to receive an upvote (according to the curators opinion about my post).
For small and less-know authors, like me, sadly that's very diffult and my only chance to get an upvote is by joining these Challenges.
So, if the Challenge forces me to write only about a specific argument, I have no choice but write only about that, and be silent about what I would really like to write... and imho that's not good, as everyone gives his/her best by writing about what he/she likes!
That's exactly why I would like to be able to talk about the game and what I like! Because I post even outside Hive where people may not know so well Splinterlands... and they aren't interested in a ruleset they don't even understand, while they can be interested in knowing how I'm performing with my collection, or know how much they can earn by playing a brawl, or what they can expect from the release of the next set of cards.
When I write my post I try to think also about people outside Hive and how I can bring them here playing Splinterlands.
By the way, thanks for your answer. I really appreciated it and, as I said, if writing about the rulesets is what the Community believe is better for the game, I will do it. I only want to be sure that I can't keep doing what I was doing... because I sincerely believe that I was more helpful to the game with a more personal post.
Thanks again @zaku for your insight! You are the curator of a huge account, so I really appreciate that you took the time to answer my doubts.
So, according to you, is this enough for the challenge participation ??
You can always discover other's content and try to engage with them & increase your content audience.
Again !! NO ONE FORCING YOU to do stop writing, you can write whatever you want. But if you participate in a contest and want to get the reward from that contest host, then you must listen and follow the instructions the host gives you. It's as simple as that.
Okk understand but tell me where on this post, you talked about your collection? where you talk about the rewards? Where you talk about the next set release card? You didn't shared any of those you mentioned. so please don't give excuse of those sweet words.
I know other SPL curator will share their thoughts, but just for your information, I am also part of SPL curation team.
I thought you were one of the @bdvoter curator, sorry.
If I double or triple that part would it be enough? Because first you told me to write only about the challenge, not that I didn't write enough. If I can write about what I like AND about the challenge, this would be good. But that's not what you told me in your first comment, hence my answer.
Which I do. But here we are talking about he possibility to get a huge upvote. You said I could get a huge upvote without joining a Challenge, but in my experience if I don't join a Challenge I will miss those upvotes, no matter how much effort I put in my posts.
Which is what I asked in the first place: if I want to take part in the new challenge I can't anymore write about what I like on Splinterlands? You are saying that the answer is yes, which is fine. I was just asking.
I shared about the result of a Tier II Guild in a brawl, telling how much we earned and showing some battles, giving a brief description on how victory was achieved. Imho that could be interesting for players considering to join a Guild. It's also a form of aggregation for the Guild's players, which, in fact, sometimes comment my posts. It's not great, but to me looks like something useful for the game.
Excuses about what? I don't have to tell an excuse to ask someone his opinion about one of my posts. I didn't attacked you and I'm not rude, so don't be rude with me, please.
Hello @arc7icwolf
I have gone through the conversation above and understood what you are trying and what @zaku is trying to convey.
Your post is good and no one questions the quality of the content but we run a challenge with some rules and we expect the community to follow them. if a challenge has some rules its obvious that participants need to follow them and if not followed then the post will be skipped. If curators upvote all posts then the challenge ruleset does not make any sense.
For the social media challenge, we have been following the same theme for a long time where one can share anything about the game and get curated. But now I think that a change is necessary to make it fun and not a monotonous task. We have tried this as an experiment and it did work as we are getting great entries and I recommend you to check out some posts. You will surely like and feel like following the theme.
@zaku is part of the SPL curation team and whatever he says does not require any validation from SPL curators. He suggested you to follow the challenge rules and this is applicable to everyone who participates in the challenge.
Once again you are free to post anything you like about splinterlands and no one is stopping you from creating content but for curation purposes your post needs to meet the criteria as per the challenge, Thank you!
Thanks for your answer too.
I wasn't aware that @zaku was one of Splinterlands' curators.
Sorry for that, I wouldn't have tagged other curators if I knew it.
My last question is if I can mix up the theme of the challenge with something else, like I was trying to do with this post (but giving more room to the part about the challenge) or if these posts must be only about the challenge itself, and nothing more.
Thanks @zaku and @alokkumar121 for the clarifying those whole subject and I also agree 100% about the challenge post themes. As a friend, I would ask @arc7icwolf to follow the rules as well. you are free to post anything you like about splinterlands but for the 2 weekly official challenge posts follow the rules would be advised.
Thanks for stopping by mate.
I'll try to better balance my posts untill they will be suitable and eligible for the Challenges: I will do some experiments and hope to reach the standards required.
