RE: Contest Alerts: Active Contest List on 05th December 2024
Understood, although it should also be noted that payment has ALWAYS been made (I haven't missed giving my rewards away in ANY post) and that any stretches of days without a drawing were always followed with a drawing of the last day posted...meaning I was testing, trying longer than 24 hours to view the participation.
I stretched it out to four days off at some points (Friday-Monday) after noticing that Saturday is the slowest day on the chain. I found out through that testing that it does not help by stretching the time limits out, by the way (something you suggested, I believe). If I tell everyone the post is going to last a couple of days, their votes w/comment entries still stop after the first day (once it's pushed out of their timeline). I've also posted it at different times of the day...none were any better/worse than the one before it. Since there isn't an actual algorithm in place on this site; once smaller posts are pushed off your timeline, they're gone unless you scroll forever each day.
At any rate, the "rules" are more like guidelines in terms of posting times...as of this weekend the posts will return to once a day, although the actual posting time may fluctuate depending on when I'm online. Just FYI, in case you ever decide to participate again.
