Greetings!

As of the moment this post is shared, the COMedy Rumble is officially over. Everyone is welcome to keep posting in the COMmunity, but none of those posts will count as an entry for the Rumble.

A Thank You

We would like to thank you all for the large turnout we had throughout this month. The numbers were truly staggering as we found ourselves among the top communities under OCD's incubation in terms of interactions, outperforming communities that are 10 times the number of members. So thank you for that.

The COMedy Rumble was an experimental idea of how contests can be different rather than the usual format of best, second-best, third-best, and so on. What I (@amirtheawesome1) had intended to do with this contest is to reward different aspects of our COMunity rather than just one excellent post every now and then.

We feel that people who interact with others are the life of any community, also consistent and hard-working people also deserve to be rewarded the old format just didn't seem to accomplish that and there was no blueprint to follow when it comes to creating something different.

We are aware that some people may have issues with the format or have different takeaways from this format and that is what the second half of this post is about.

As with anything new, you start realizing things that are wrong only with time as things seem really good in theory or after they start. The COMedy Rumble was not an exception to that rule. We are aware that some of the rules and rewards were confusing to some people and we deeply apologize for that. Again, there wasn't a blueprint for what we are doing.

In the comment section below we'd like your honest opinion of the Rumble, its format, what you liked, what you hated, what confused you, and what excited you, we are even open to criticisms of our performance as mods/judges. You could also suggest different categories we could do in the future or things we could do until then.

When I (@amirtheawesome1) started this community I did so with the intention of being extremely open with the community members as any community is useless without its members. So, please, don't hold back and share your honest opinions regarding what we can improve when it comes to future versions of the Rumble as well as our general performance.

The Winners Will Be Announced On Thursday

Until then, consider this post a thank you letter to all participants and an open form to share your opinion.

Thank You For Reading!
