Updates on item 5.

Minimum no. of submitted post a month is 8 with at least 60% Approval Rating

1. Verified and engaged authors only who have been consistent without much success of late. Focus is on new authors who have made few good posts, but haven't been discovered yet. Curie is unlikely to vote for the same author more than once (especially in quick succession) or for the high REP author unless the post is truly exceptional.
2. Posts must be more than 150 minutes old, but less than 24 hours, with maximum $10 pending payout.
3. Only original content. Articles, art, poetry, videos, recipes, etc. that appear first on Steemit. (I.e. no reposts of older work) Please check for plagiarism and reposting before submitting. Content must be exceptional and unique.
4. No Steemit-related, religious or political posts.
5. Submission limits are dictated by curator's performance the previous week, according to these tiers (the numbers below are weekly limits) -
   AR =>90 and top 4 curators with highest CS - Unlimited submissions [Those with unlimited submissions will be required to maintain at least a 75% approval rate at all times, mid-week. Min time limit for top curators is 45 minutes.]
   In case of a tie, curator who had higher CS previous week will be in the top.
   CS =>2.5 but not one of top four curators by CS with AR > 90% - 15 submissions
   CS <2.5 and new curators - 5 submissions
   Curators with at least 8 submissions in a calendar month are required to maintain 60% AR at the end of each month, otherwise they will be restricted from proposing. Top curators can re-recommend curators who lost their right to submit, but there is no reward. Curators who had 15 submissions will keep the same limit if they maintain 100% AR with 2 or less submissions.
   Cumulative CS >200, AR >95 over 6 months earns a direct follow from @curie.
6. English posts only.

Finder's fee is 10 Steem per approved post.

How to Apply As a Curie Curator ?

There is no application form, however each top curator would have their own way in recommending curators. So these are tips on what you could do to get your recommendation

• Goto our discord channel https://discord.gg/TfEUesC and make friends first

• Get to know the curators

• Request for a recommendation if they do get to the top curator slot. Sometimes it takes weeks or even months or even never. Then all you have to do is to go back to point (1)

What else can I do in the meantime to support @curie
