Topcomment weekly curation report (week 26)
News
It is time for our weekly curation report again. With this report we try to give some transparency about our votes and also give some attention to the people that help making Hive a better place by leaving real, high quality and engaging comments.
I've noticed a nice trend of more people using the @topcomment mention to inform our curators of quality comments. It's great to see that more and more people are becoming familiar with this.
Please help to spread the word by reblogging this post!
Please keep on nominating these comments! Do be aware that we have some rules and a nomination is no guarantee for an upvote. We're following some curation rules (that can be found in our introduction post: What is the topcomment service?).
Also try to nominate different people. We've seen some Hivers nominate the same commenters every time. It's understandable when you interact a lot with a few, but try to diversify your nominations.
And finally I would like to point out that this curation service can only run with your support. Your delegations give @topcomment an upvote that matters! A big thanks to our delegators!
Not a delegator yet? Every amount is welcome! Check out the 5 reasons to why you should consider delegating to Topcomment
What is Topcomment?
The Topcomment curation service rewards meaningful and engaging comments on the Hive platform. It is manually curated by @topcomment to prevent abuse.
Comments that show effort, substantively engage with the content are eligible for upvotes. The initiative relies on nominations, where users can mention @topcomment to suggest quality comments.
Read all about it in the following blog (also in Spanish!):

Which comments can get upvotes and which don't?
Which comments are eligible for upvotes and which are not?
Not all nominated comments will receive an upvote from Topcomment. While the concept of "quality" is subjective, there are a few key factors I consider when deciding whether to upvote a comment. Additionally, there are certain reasons why even a well-written comment might not be upvoted.
Here are the current guidelines:
Do's
1. Put effort in the comment
Be sure you have put some effort in creating a longer comment. There is no exact number, but a comment that is just a few words long won't get upvoted.
2. React to the content of the blog
The comment should be a thoughtful response to the blog post. It must engage with the content and provide meaningful interaction with the author’s ideas. It shouldn't be a reply telling your own story.
No upvotes for
1. Comments with hate speech, racism, conspiracy theories or other negative reactions
I strive to keep the community positive. Comments promoting hatred, racism, or conspiracy theories will not be upvoted.
2. Comments from users with Hivewatchers downvotes
I do not want to support scammers or fraudulent activity. If a user has been downvoted by Hivewatchers, I will not upvote their comment.
3. AI-generated comments
These comments will not receive upvotes, as they are not authentic human interactions.
4. Comments that already have significant rewards
If a comment has already received a substantial reward, I will skip the upvote. The same applies to comments that are part of the commentrewarder initiative.
5. Giveaways or contest entries
There are some initiatives asking you to submit your entry in the comments. These are excluded from Topcomment upvotes.
6. Commenting on own blogs
Comments from bloggers on their own blog will not be upvoted. It is only natural that you respond to comments on your own blog.
Support Topcomment with Delegations
The more delegations Topcomment gets, the higher the rewards we can give away!
And you profit from the delegation as well since we return 80% of the curation rewards to the delegator.
The rewards are sent in the form of liquid Hive on a daily basis. So, supporting Topcomment with a delegation can be really beneficial for you.
You can use the following tool to delegate an amount of your choice or select one of the predefined amounts below.
https://thecrazygm.com/hivetools/account/delegate/topcomment/100
| 10 HP | 25 HP | 50 HP | 100 HP | 250 HP | 500 HP | 1000 HP | 1500 HP | 2000 HP |
Follow the Curation Trail
If you don't want to delegate you can also choose to following the Topcomment voting trail via Hive.Vote.
This way you do support the project and the commenters, but you'll receive the curation rewards yourself. In Hive.Vote you can configure a percentage for the votes.

Thanks for the mention and support @topcomment. I'm overwhelmed to be in #10 this time. It's rewarding to be recognized aside from the happiness that we get in interacting with our fellow bloggers on hive. May this project continue to grow. More power to the team!
Thank you so much friends 😘
;) Thank you.
I didn't know I could alert the curators when I saw a valuable comment. I’ll do so whenever possible.
Thanks for admitting my suggestion! It’s great to see new names on the chart. 😊
