Welcome to a new round of Let's Make a Collage!

The LMAC community keeps growing, now counting 2783 LMACians! An amazing 232 participants supported our community prize pool with their contributions to the LMAC and the LIL during the last week. This allows us to award huge community prizes worth 201 HIVE in this round!

🌟🌟🌟 In addition, whale curator @balte is adding another 50 HIVE as a donation to our community, bringing the prize pool for this round to a massive 251 HIVE. Thank you @balte! 💪💪💪

The LMAC Image Library (LIL) is a great resource in the LMACsphere and we will continue to accept and reward your contributions. If you would like to catch up with the LIL and its rules please start 👉 here.

You can now explore the entire LIL catalogue with more than 8000 items on our dedicated web interface:

👉 https://www.lmac.gallery 👈

❗️ We highly encourage all LMACians to use LIL assets in their collages and will provide additional rewards for doing so:

Set the contributor of the LIL assets used in your collage as 2% beneficiary.
In turn, collages using LIL-assets will be supported with a higher vote weight by our trail!

We hope that many of you will dive into the LIL to find images for your next collage.

🧑‍⚖️As our guest judge for this week please welcome community member @muelli! Muelli's collages scored highest in the previous two rounds of LMAC and he will thus support our standing jury in nominating the finalists of this round.

And now, let's kick-off Round 137 of Let's Make a Collage!

What do you see in this picture that is not yet there? Let your creativity run wild and transform this scenery into whatever you wish to see. Your imagination is the only limit!

Have you taken a look at the accounts participating in these contests? It's quite disturbing as they do nothing else beside enter them. Like quite literally just that. Seems like you have a sockpuppet farm on your hands most likely most of the accounts being run by the same person. I'd suggest making entries require a bit more than whatever some of these accounts do, example:

https://peakd.com/@ayahdindin/comments
https://peakd.com/@ghinamidrara/comments

etc

I didn't even look at all of them, these were 2 out of 3 I looked at but it seems quite obvious what's going on here and I don't think a couple people farming these collage contests should receive the post rewards these posts earn.

Yes, we are on it. Sockpuppets have always been coming in waves to the LMAC. We have always been able to contain the issue by changing our modalities. However, the recent wave is the most severe one so far. We are now confident that we are able to identify most of them reliably and have now agreed on the criteria which will prevent these accounts from receiving any rewards through our trail. While the one or other sockpuppet may occasionally sneak in, consider the issue being dealt with.
