Hi everyone!! @stsl here with the results of #stsl - Share The Steem Love Competition No 23. https://steemitimages.com/DQmf3jFnfddifagJMmewq4Xf68eTwbEEWpNPMFegPgmTcvT/Upgrade.PNG We had 2 really, really good nominations this week, and so much community support for both. Not as many nominations that we usually have, but that's okay. We still had great community engagement and support for the nominees who did come through. Let's find out who this week's winners are!! https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmRLTqWSqWtQPvgKhFKbHYuvaPztb31GJmjYMhi6x8vCvd/STSL-separater.png

The Winners

The 2 nomination we had were: | Nominator | Rep Score | Nominee | Rep Score | Votes | Country | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | @enginewitty | 62 | @redheadpei | 48 | 24 | Canada| | @tonie | 53 | @mermaidvampire | 58 | 22 | Philippines| I fed each nomination into my voting algorithm and the results which came out the other side were as follows: | Nominator | Nominee | Final Score | | --- | --- | --- | | @enginewitty | @redheadpei | 137.212 | | @tonie | @mermaidvampire | 5.883 | And so with 137.212 points as a final score, the winn..... **Error Error Error !!!**> We seem to have an error!!! There seems to be a discrepancy in the votes.... there has been a breach of the rules with a self vote on @enginewitty's nomination. Now I know that @enginewitty is a straight up guy, and wouldn't intentionally break a rule. He's not that kind of guy, but rules are rules... and rule numbers 6, 7 and 10 have been broken... Oh Noooooo!!!!!!

Error!! Error!! I cannot compute!!!

This is against my mission to Share The Steem Love!! How can I disqualify anyone for nominating someone else!! I must adjust my rules for next time to prevent this error. So now, for this time only, I am invoking rule number 12: >The decision on who the winners of my competitions are is final, and no protests will be entertained. This is about Sharing the Steem Love, and not who is "entitled" to claim a prize. Due to the high score of @redheadpei, and on account of the self upvote from @enginewitty who I know wouldn't intentionally break a rule, I have decided to award upvotes for 60 days to ALL 4 entrants!! Yes, That's right, ALL 4. The SBD Rewards will be doubled by @bmj, traded for STEEM and split 4 ways to each of the nominators and winners. That just feels right for me to do this week. So, this week EVERYBODY WINS!!!! My next week's competition will have a modified rule structure so nobody get disqualified, but will incur a penalty for breaking a rule. I think that is a fairer approach, don't you? So there we have it.... @enginewitty and @redheadpei, and @tonie and @mermaidvampire all get added to my prizewinners voting list, and share some Steem Love! Here is @enginewitty's nomination! ![enginewitty.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTUX4zj232Zmz244AgFp1oVBvgZuTgkYK5EV3oSgwkPmF/enginewitty.PNG) Here is @tonie's nomination ![tonie.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWuPqFgXvMFUbS12PNqFDGYtT4k36VeKQwnYWyFhbfm14/tonie.PNG) https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmRLTqWSqWtQPvgKhFKbHYuvaPztb31GJmjYMhi6x8vCvd/STSL-separater.png
