Winners of the Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month on the FreeCompliments Community – April 2024!

Welcome to April’s iteration of the FreeCompliments Community’s contests for Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! The goal of this contest is to encourage the creation of quality content, both long-form and short-form, for the betterment of the community and its members.

The winner of the Post of the Month and Compliment of the Month will win 5 HSBI + 1000 Ecency Points + 20 $LEO + 1000 NEOXAG each, and runner-ups of these plus the Non-Compliment Comment of the Month will win 3 HSBI + 500 Ecency Points + 10 $LEO + 500 NEOXAG.

Additionally, @raymondspeaks announced that “Monthly contest winners will also get a BIG fat vote from @brofi on their latest post” – how exciting!

Thank you to everyone who voted! Multiple votes did not take place, no curation trails were found, our friendly @dustbunny was identified, and no self-votes occurred – perfection. I did break one tie for runner-up Compliment of the Month, but that was my only intervention!

Without further ado, here are our winners and runner-ups:

Post of the Month

Helping Little Hearts Heal: A Guide to Supporting Children Through Grief from @meraki7578. In this post, she describes strategies of how to help children of various age groups deal with death and grief, a topic that is not frequently touched upon. This is one of the most unique and informative posts that we’ve had in the community (and one of my personal favorites, as well), and that makes it an exceptionally deserving winner of Post of the Month.

And for our runner-up:

The aftermath just enjoy it with Motivational Mondays from @tengolotodo. In this post, he addresses the negative emotions associated with the good old “crypto bloodbath” and eloquently ties his experiences dealing with difficulties in life and the swings that we experience, coming to the conclusion that ultimately, things will work out fine. It’s a motivational post reminding us that waves will happen, so we may as well enjoy the ride. This is a realistic and practical approach to a motivational post, making it an ideal winner of our runner-up prize!

Compliment of the Month

From @thebighigg, this compliment encourages the poster to look on the bright side of the situation of the troubles with her passport, given that she would still be able to have a great vacation even if plans did not completely pan out. The combination of acknowledging the problem and extracting the goodness out of it makes it a perfect candidate to win Compliment of the Month!

And for our runner-up:

From @paradigmprospect, this compliment serves as a succinctly written, to-the-point message about the importance of taking care of oneself when the need for rest arises. The ability to express this point so clearly, while including a compliment, makes it a highly worthy winner of our runner-up prize.

Non-Compliment Comment of the Month

While our primary focus is on compliments, free speech and discussion is also a tremendous focus in this community. Not all conversations require compliments or agreements, but rather respectful discussion, listening, and exchanges of ideas. Thus, I believe it is essential to reward dialogues which are done in such a manner. This is a tenet of the stringent free speech principle we exercise, in a manner that we would love to see implemented in all forms of communication.

This month, it’s a comment by @d-a-d, describing the shared experience of how we sometimes fit so many activities into a very limited period of time, yet seem to continue to have our time filled with more things to do. It’s a wonderful expression of a concept that’s familiar to many of us, earning it the title of Non-Compliment Comment of the Month!
