News
As every week we have been busy upvoting high quality comments. You can check out the list below to see which comments we've upvoted and who are in the top 20 of most upvoted Hivers.
Last Wednesday when I tuned in to the Crypto and Cola show (I can recommend checking into that show by the way. Interesting stuff and entertaining as well). The show, run by @peaceandmoney and @solominer was about Curation services this week.

Unfortunately I didn't have a microphone near me, so I couldn't join by voice (I will be better prepared next time, I;m ususally just lurking 😝).
But some others, who are familiar with the project (like @ecoinstant, @meno and @ph1102) said some nice things about the project. Thanks for that!
What is Topcomment?
The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.
Read more about the service and how you can support this project below the report!

Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?
Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.
Here are the current guidelines:
Do's
1. Put effort in the comment
Be sure you have put some effort in creating a longer comment. There is no exact number, but a comment that is just a few words long won't get upvoted.
2. React to the content of the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author’s ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.
No upvotes for
1. Comments with hate speech, racism, conspiracy theories or other negative reactions
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.
2. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.
3. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.
4. Comments that already have significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.
5. Giveaways or contest entries
There are some initiatives asking you to submit your entry in the comments. These are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.
6. Commenting on own blogs
Comments from bloggers on their own blog will not be upvoted. It is only natural that you respond to comments on your own blog.
Support Topcomment with Delegations
The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
At the moment we have a 15,758 HP delegation which results in a full vote value of 0.74 HIVE( $0.19).
You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.

A big thank you for all our current delegators!

If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.

New to contributing to Hive, your upvotes of my efforts to create some interaction with others is the most encouraging part of my experience to date, @topcomment. To be clear, it is the fact you find some of them to be "quality content" more than the upvotes themselves.
As a direct result, I have done what little I can to help, although obviously I have no control, as can be seen, on whether or not it is even read and replied to, let alone followed up on.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts. I hope to read, in the future, that you are getting the recognition you have earned with this initiative. Along the way, seeing that I have already gotten up to #9 means a lot!
P.S. I did not respond to your comment on my help link above, due to the fact I was already well aware of it not being forbidden. I simply saw an opportunity to connect two different accounts, one of which is capable of providing you considerable additional support.
Congratulations all the top commenter
Keep doing it!
We must keep those people who create meaningful comments motivated! They are connecting dots and making this a better place! Creating stronger bonds!
