Welcome To The 'Love The Clouds' Contest! #216

Attention: Community Request
I have stirred up some debate around the topic of self-voting. As a result, we now have @galenkp @emrebeyler and @azircon downvoting our Love the Clouds Contest for no apparent reason other than hate. Since I do not know how they will behave if you write them that you might not agree with this, tread carefully, but never feel intimidated.
May the clouds be with you π§‘β

Welcome everyone to another round of #LoveTheClouds!

I am sure that I have missed some...!

How does the contest work?
Β
Obviously the contest is all about Clouds: You can draw, take a picture or use any other kind of medium to portray clouds in any form or manner! I want to stress again that this contest is not strictly a photography contest! Artists of all paths are welcome π
There are of course some usual rules for participating:
- Upvote and reblog the contest OR Upvote and promote the contest with a link
- Make a comment with a link of your work below this post
- All of the submitted works must be original and made by you!
- Only 1 entry/post per person
- Post in the 'Love The Clouds Community' or use the #lovetheclouds and #pob tag
All entries must be submitted before this post closes

What's the prize pool and who will win?
Β
There will be 3 finalists chosen by the community in an upcoming post entitled "Love The Clouds Finalists?", so be sure to vote if you are a community member!
Each finalist will receive their equal share of the HIVE and POB payout !
Additionally there will be four honorable mentions who will each get a 30% upvote
πHave fun and enjoy !!π

Stop mentioning me in your posts, everytime I get a notification I will visit the notification to come here and downvote.
You're even mass tagging people to spam, a reminder to those people, I have no beef with you but if you also spam my posts like the OP, you will be also downnvoted.
Lol...mass tagging now? π€π
I'll be back to bestow some vote-love on this post when my HP recovers a little.
well maybe you should know that actions have consequences, my friend
!BEER
Hello, I was also about to vote down but held back.π
That's because you never include me on that list. I've posted a few times and I deserve to be in the tags.
I want to be remembered because there are so many things that my memory can't cover everything.π
Have a good week. I will prepare a publication for this edition.
I don't really know what you are trying to say. Have a good week as well
And you say you aren't doing it for drama and attention....
Look, it's one thing people donwvote my posts for now unwarranted reasons. But it's another thing to do that on a community post of which 100% is going back to the community. If you don't see the difference I can't help you.
Now I will DV every post of yours.
I DO NOT appreciate mass tagging or the drama.
You are obviously a bully and actions have consequences. You will find that out, hopefully, in your lifetime.
He and a lot of people warned you multiple times, kindly, but you're insisting on your behaviour and escalating the issue.
Now, you're threatening people with the "consequences", curious how this will work out for you.
sorry I can't read this post because it's muted
If you do this; there will NOT be any reward pool for you. I will make sure of that.
AGAIN.
Be careful on how you answer this. Here is a suggestion:
DO NOT ANSWER THIS
Be silent and move on. If you want to continue this. I have a lot of experience handling drama. I will take care of it.
You cannot threat me. You are a bully and it is for everyone on chain to see it.
You hereby are banned from the Love The Clouds Community!
Hello everyone in the LTC community! π§‘
It's unfortunate that things turned out how they are. If you want to know what happened, look at the post I linked to in the post and make yourself your own picture.
It seems, however, that for now 3 bullies have decided to downvote this contest and therefore the reward pool. For now, if you like you can continue posting pictures and it would certainly be nice to get a brake from all this noise π
For the future, I will have to think how we will go ahead and perhaps the contest will be made from another account so that we have a reward pool again. Love and Clouds for all! π§‘β
Good luck on this challenge. You stand alone against the bigs and are definitely outnumbered and outgunned at least 10HP to 1. But I cheer you on for not backing down and for all its worth, I see you are not oufought and intimitated. You did ask how I feel about self voting. I actually do not agree with it. I hate self voting. But I hate bullies even more.
I am not intimidated :) I will simply burn my posts and DV theirs. The real beauty, however, is that all of this doesn't really matter since the value of Hive is that posts cannot be censored only downvoted.

@tobetada for all those years,you help me a lot and I learned how to take a clouds photography. I will miss this challenge and I hope everything will be alright Peace be with us all. Sorry for what happening around @tobetada

Naa koy gipost dinhi, naa sa ubos. π
No matter how dark things may look, there's always an end to them. Just posting to give you a break from all the noise and to let you know that your contest will be missed π π’
Muy hermoso
Muchas gracias π«
It's not fair what they do ππΎ
I hope you are ok π€
wishing you a wonderful day! π
Thanks I had a great day how was your day π
I forgot to say if you want to speak to me in private send me a message on Instagram @kgakakillerg ππΎ
It's a shame that a corner of this network that attracts attention is being attacked like this. I don't think they're attacking the future of the network if they continue like this, and they should think carefully about how to act because these types of contests that create a community that creates content that is more attractive to potential new users or maintains existing ones are shooting themselves in the foot.
This network is just surviving, and if it wants to expand, it shouldn't be attacked like this. If you think something is wrong, you should be less radical and discuss it before sanctioning it so directly, because doing so could only lead to losing more and more communities, and some who want to create new content are discouraged when they see this. There's no need to think carefully before acting.
I look forward to the contest again so that this community continues to grow.
The space you created is unique and special. I love it, like many others. I think we learned to observe and love the clouds. I'm so sorry, I like to support the challenge. It's just a final thought about the negative attack.
Congratulations @tobetada! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next payout target is 49000 HP.
The unit is Hive Power equivalent because post and comment rewards can be split into HP and HBD
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking
