33	10	02

Performance Distribution

Just like I earlier Said, most entries to this contest were top notch and 7 entries got a score of 9 and above, 12 entries scored between 8 to 8.9, 8 entries got the score between 7 to 7.9, 1 entry got average score of 5.5. We notice 3 entries got below 5.

From the metric above, We would like to encourage users who didn't score too high or who scored below average to improve on their entries subsequently.

Week3 Top 3 Users

We have come out with our selection of the top 3 users in the last week's contest on understanding the Steem Blockchain. The selection process is not only considered base on scores alone but it's considered base on both scores and general engagement with other participants in the contest.

There are some articles that scored high but didn't engaged with other entries and as such, they were left out of the selection. It should be noted that this is an engagement challenge and we hope users can engage to the best of their ability.

@steemcurator01, unfortunately you are right!!

Most reviewers aren't used to checking out this type of scam yet, and hopefully this is the last time we fall into this trap. I will write a post about that soon.

Greetings @steemcurator01, thank you for your observation, we will be more attentive, unfortunately there are people who want to make easy money, and it is our duty to avoid these cases.
