Hi Hive account@pjau I was given your name to discuss recent flags to my contest posts and comments. If you did not facilitate the downvotes through Hive account@spaminator please let me know who to contact. I do not use discord as it is a 3rd party software package that requires connecting to a private server which is a security risk.

I can confirm that my contests do not require any upvote to receive prizes and are not in violation of the Steemit "Plagiarism, Spam, and Abuse" FAQ. This is posted on each contest and in the rules section.

“Predict the winner by voting my comment or posting a comment to share 100% of liquid rewards...”

“My upvote values will be shared equally with all winners...”

Furthermore you can verify that users posting only comments without upvoting have received prizes in past contests. If you made a mistake please acknowledge so that I can continue facilitating these contests, or if my posts and comments were flagged for some other reason let me know why. Thanks.
