To Seedly Team, It seems you guys made a rather rookie mistake by encouraging people to post more to win a few prizes.... Don't you think so?

  1. Pervasive effect / People replying to messages just for the sake of earning points
  2. Some members have a hilarious 600+ points which is impossible to believe....
  3. Assuming all members got their points in a legitimate way, the quality of the answers....

Yes, maybe, there is always they risk to give unimportant answers

in aggregate maybe there is still a positive outcome, when more answers

mean more point of views.

anyway, your concern is still justified

I am one of those doing my best to be part of the top 5 to qualify for the ticket.

It is indeed very encouraging to post more to win the prize and I feel that this is actually a positive motivation. While we are answering the questions to earn more points, we do not simply answer for the sake of answering. I avoid answering questions that I am not familar to, for example, housing related and robo investing.

But when it comes to investing knowledge, I am very glad to share. Sometimes, I even googled to find out more before I answer. So in other words, I learn something new too.

As for the 600+ points, it is actually achievable. What happended for me was that I actually sat down and some time and effort to look through the questions and answer them. Answer 1 question gives 3 points and all you need to do is answer more than 200 questions. To all those who are still interested to join the top 5, it is actually never too late. There are 4 more days i think?

As for quality, I try my best to offer quality responses. And I will always be happy if someone is there to challenge my responses so that in the event my response is not good enough.

And lastly, now that I am exposed to this platform, I believe I will continue to return to this site. I would say this is a successful campaign by Seedly.

I actually thought it is a great way to encourage interaction, especially for new users like me.

Once people start to use the platform to have their queries sorted out, prize or no prize, at least it gets ceertain people going. I believe that this work like a "trial period" where users can actually see how easy it is to use the platform to get answer or help people.

Hello! Thanks for sharing your thoughts here on the Seedly platform, I will share my perspective on this matter again also!

We are always looking to improve our campaigns that are being run on the platform over time. If you have better ideas or formats, please share with me via PM! or comment below!!

If you have been here for some time, you would have realised that we've been actually improving campaign mechanics overtime as well to ensure that we have new ways to incentive better behavior on the platform. And trust us when we say this, Seedly is here for the longer run so we will ensure that users help us grow overall engagement to benefit much more Singaporeans out there!

Also, to share how we do this here, there are a few measures we put in place learning from online communities which have been growing over time.

It starts and ends with the main Seedly community guidelines which you can reference to here:

  • Making sure that authenticity of user profiles is key (which is why some of you with no profile pictures will be getting a notification/email from us soon)

  • We are not a troll or fully anonmyous site (for answerers)

  • We have the badges and levels system to show users who have been active over months and across the site (not just QnA, reviews and blog)

  • We also have this new report function which will allow our community to help us flag spam questions and answers so we can help to moderate and delete them behind the scenes.

Thank you for asking and hope this answers your question!

I guess more works on their side to moderate the questions and post. It certainly does make the plat...
