I have noticed one of the most common breaks of Steemit Guidelines is; Requiring Upvoting to enter contests. It seems that most users are not even aware this is not allowed, probably because it seems no one is enforcing it.

It seems to me that @cheetah and @steamcleaners do a good job at finding the Plagiarism and although @grumpycat is not an account I like (I highly dislike actually) this user seems to be going after the ones breaking the "Selling or offering to buy votes/resteems/follows, or schemes that facilitate this." rule. 

So is there anyone that want's to be the next account to get on everyones nerves and go after those hosting contests that require an upvote to enter?

# Don't Be Skerd 
If you are posting contest that require upvotes the good thing is that there doesn't seem to be any negative response yet so don't be scared that you will be flagged just use this information for you current and future contest to allow users that don't upvote to still enter.

It seems that Steemit does not have Rules but more just Guidelines
