The Engagement League

This league is not based around financial rewards and relates to engagement.

Everyone currently on my master list has a chance here - including those powering down or dealing in delegations over the past couple of weeks.

I've used some metrics (which is the fancy way of saying that made up some numbers) relating to:

Posts (P)
Comments - number of (C)
Number of people spoken to (PS)
Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
Comments - length in characters (C L)
Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
Up-votes to others (V)
Up-votes to different authors (U V)
Self-votes - a small minus score for this one, sorry! (S V)

Note: Copy/Paste comments will be excluded!

Firstly, if you are placed in the table above then you among the top 25% of the league entrants!

385 accounts earned a score this week (371 last time)
The top 100 produced 764 top level posts (776 last time)
The top 100 produced 13376 comments (13119 last time)
The top 100 produced over 2.81 million characters of text in comments ( almost identical to last time )
The top 100 cast 36861 votes (43237 last time), of these, 170 were self-votes (142 last time)

Congratulations to this weeks Engagement League winner, Hive account@janton of course!🏆

In another world this man, much respect!

Hive account@melinda010100 takes 2nd again and is starting to look like the new queen of engagement. Well done to you!

And Hive account@paulag, to my huge surprise, finishes in 3rd this week - do we need to double check the data here!? Well done Paula! (LOL we tied on score, amazing!)

Excellent engagement levels also from Hive account@veryspider, Hive account@delishtreats, Hive account@cicisaja, Hive account@brittandjosie, Hive account@tattoodjay, Hive account@newageinv, and Hive account@steemflow who will all be receiving some STEEM this week.

Those without a self-vote (from their main account at least! 😲) and placed in the top ranks will also receive a little STEEM. These people are: Hive account@bengy, Hive account@akomoajong, Hive account@steevc, Hive account@kaerpediem, Hive account@balticbadger, Hive account@bozz, Hive account@scrawly, Hive account@cryptoandcoffee, Hive account@erikah, Hive account@fullcoverbetting, Hive account@simplymike, and Hive account@mariannewest.

Well done everyone!

The Curation League / Rewards based

NOTE: If you have started a power-down or been involved in delegations in/out of your account, you will not appear on this list for 15 days following the activities above. Thanks!

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools, including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.

Well done to the top 10! bot-tastic!
