https://steemit.com/faq.html#What_is_considered_spam_or_abuse

Do you think my post falls into one of these categories?

Now check your most recent resteem and check the list again.

While I ask for support, there are no ramifications if this doesn't happen. In other words, you do not need to upvote/resteem/comment/follow myself or curie for anything in return.

However, asking for resteems/votes to gain entry into a competition is 'spam or abuse'.

Thank you for drawing my attention to this, I will make my way over to your resteem to inform them, or shall i just 'hope someone larger flags the heck out of this'.
