Contest Rules
Below are the guidelines for our Top Commenter Contest.
Moderation rules: We typically approve all blog comments for publication if they align with our Comment Policy. Comment moderation is carried out on weekdays, and only the approved comments will be counted for the contest.
Comment eligibility: Participants should follow the quality guidelines provided below to prevent spam and contribute value to the discussion. Failing to follow these guidelines will result in disqualification from the contest, even if the comments are approved.
Add value to the conversation. You can seek help, provide assistance to other commenters, share thoughts, offer additional tips, and engage in meaningful discussion. Avoid gaming the system, such as submitting similar comments across multiple blog posts solely to inflate the comment count. Only comments consisting of at least 50 characters will be considered for the contest. Shorter comments will not be counted.
Eligibility: Everyone is eligible for contest participation except for the following individuals:
Those who post fewer than 10 comments in a month. Employees of Awesome Motive or subsidiary companies associated with the WPBeginner growth fund. We reserve the right to exclude commenters who breach the rules outlined above from the comment count.
Transparency: At the bottom of this page, a comment counter displays the top 10 commenters.
Name and email: Use the same name and email address when submitting multiple comments across WPBeginner. This enables our comment counter to display the number of approved comments, increasing your chance to win the contest.
Selecting winners: Top commenters, unless disqualified for not following the rules, will automatically be categorized as winners. However, the final decision on winners remains at our sole discretion.
Announcing winners: The names of winners and their comment counts will be posted on this page. Winners will receive an email notification upon selection.
