Four days have passed and no new entries will be eligible to win. Please don't post any more comments with your submissions! Good luck to everyone participating and remember that the comment with the least upvotes will win!


Welcome to the 2nd Toss Up Thursday Edition - brought to you by the Qurator Project. We have Photo Friday and Tasty Tuesday, but what about all the other content that Qurites produce? We want you all to get more recognition for all your hard work. Thus, we are introducing Toss Up Thursday. This is a free-for-all, anything-goes kind of competition, with a few Qurator twists of course!

Toss Up Thursday will be held the second and fourth Thursdays of the month only. This is your chance as a Qurite to nominate any post that you feel is quality writing and needs some Qurite love!


Come promote anything and everything!




We can ask all members to “toss up” another member's recent post. The rules can be a bit tricky so read them carefully! The short of it all is, showing support and upvoting other Qurites' comments in this post will give you a better chance of winning!

The rules


  • 2 winners every Toss Up Thursday.

  • Nominators have to post a link and a picture of your post. (ONLY 1 ENTRY PER QURITE)

  • Post being nominated MUST be within the last 24-48 hours (this allows for more upvotes on the actual post)

  • The comment with the LOWEST upvote count / LOWEST number of upvotes will win (not value)!

  • There will be a deadline to post comments in order to avoid some members sneaking in at the last moment before this post reaches payout.

Deadline is 4 days after this post goes live. We will edit this post and announce that the deadline has passed and no new comments will be eligible to win.

  • No flagging! Play nice and have fun!

Deadline for comments: MONDAY, March 12, 2018 - 8PM UTC


How do we pick a winner?


The two comments with the LEAST NUMBER OF UPVOTES when this post reaches payout will win a TIER 5 Membership for 30 days from @qurator.

So how do you win?


Copy and paste a link and picture link from one of your recent posts. Then hope you do not get a lot of upvotes on that comment. You can also counter and improve your chances of winning by upvoting the other comments of Qurites promoting their posts. =)

There are certain tactics to this competition. The previous winner won easily by being patient and posting their comments a few hours before the entry deadline, this might be a wise decision. ;)


Comment template that you can copy and paste in the comment section to make it easier for yourself:

Let the Toss Up begin and may the best Qurites win! Comment and upvote away!

Wow! hahaha... I would like to join, but I am busy right now in a Charity Works and other personal things for my family... But I will try... I would like to join my Charity works to earn more for the Patient...

My latest poem is a tribute to all of my grandparents who passed away: Fragments of Memory.

It would be rude to disrespect such memory and upvote this comment . It deserves to win in their memory. The poem is part of my book which deserves love, not in the form of upvotes of this comment. The book is called Welcome to the Sombre Days:

Hi @qurator... I wanted to check and see if I did something wrong. I have upvoted the your posts 7x each week for at least the last 3 weeks... I have noticed that you are not upvoting many of my posts and on the ones you do they have dropped to 0.14...

I am not complaining or trying to be negative, I am just wondering if it is a computer mistake or if I did something wrong. I don't know exactly how the decisions are made but of course want to be in good standing with your group. So if you could check into it and see what I am doing wrong, I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Hi @davemccoy

Quickly checked and saw quite a lot of upvotes from you, but maybe just at the wrong times. We normally count and check the upvotes each Monday at 12PM UTC time. You can upvote any of the Qurator Posts. Does not have to be just the Daily Qurator posts. It can be the competition posts as well. We recently got a new bot to make things more stable. So in the transition time we did miss a few upvotes. Will be sending you some Q love right away to make up for it. =)

Thank you very much for the Q love :) ... wow... I wasn't expecting that!!! I didn't know if it was my posts or something I was doing wrong, so thank you for clearing that up!!!

You are amazing!!! Thank you again!!! :)

Yep, no worries, it's not you. =P

You just keep on posting quality content and we will handle the rest...

But do tell us if something is broken or wrong, we are only human and we do make mistakes every now and then. =P

Hey guys shouldn't the upvotes for this thing be at least at 50%? I mean, that's a scenario where everybody wins

50% is not the same for everyone. The goal is not to spread rewards, but to promote and take part in the competition. Any rewards from upvotes are purely a bonus. =)

Ok. Thank you.

Hi @qurator can you check again on my situation? I am not getting any upvotes for a week now and I have upvoted almost every post. I'm not so concerned about the past (so you don't have to make it up to me and I'm not complaining)... I am worried though that I have fallen through some crack. I think I upvoted 12 posts and should definitely be in the tier that gets roughly a $0.40 vote... so I think it is missing me completely as it never hits any of them anymore... Again I'm not complaining, just calling it to your attention! Thank you very much!!!

Not to be a nag (okay, I am)... but will you take a snapshot at a specific time of the number of upvotes at the time of the deadline? Last time, hours after the deadline there were still upvotes going on (that were also still counted) that makes strategic planning kinda hard ;)

We did take a snapshot last time, but we took a snapshot of steemd. That worked pretty well, until we learned that votes that were removed are still shown in steemd. So that was a bit of a mistake. Lesson learned though, this time we will take a snapshot of this page and save it to make sure it is 100% accurate.

We didn't count any upvotes after the last deadline, but in steemd it did show a bit more since some users voted their own comment, and then later removed their votes (good tactic =P) this round we won't make the same mistake again. =)

That is what I'd call: "hiding in plain sight" ;) Thanks! That explains... I was kinda sad that my tactics didn't work out somehow.
Love the different approach in this competition :D

awesome....thanks for support!

hi dear @qurator , if i m not mistaken i think you would want to say march 12 for the deadline? instead of feb 12? thanks, 😘❤️❤️❤️

Whoops! Thanks for letting us know =P

you're most welcome ❤️❤️❤️
