Curation Report Week #03 for August by Team Lucky Dip

^{15 August to 21 August}

On Steemit we don’t say “Another day, another dollar”. No, we say, “Another week, another report”.

To give you all a better idea on how Team Lucky Dip operates I am going to go a bit deeper into the how’s. Hopefully this will also help the “Freestyle” curators for September.

Supporting good comments

Team Lucky Dip curates and rewards good comments. By doing this we hope to create better interaction on posts by encouraging Steemians not only to comment on qualifying posts but to also to comment well.

Of the 169 post supported this week there were 55 comments we’ve voted on.

The criteria we follow;

• 25+ words
• Is it relevant to the topic
• Is it meaningful or helpful
• Minimum of 2% vote

I can report that the average word count on the 55 comments rewarded were far more than 50 words.

An example of a good comment from @focusnow:

Such a terrible experience with this particular uncle. Am really sorry. Experiences like yours are so common. Some uncles do not actually want to see you succeed, although I have heard of uncles and aunts that are nice, but they are few. I am very happy that you are making it now even without their assistance.
I have uncles like that. But one thing I promised myself is that I will be the change I want. What I mean is that I wont like to behave like some of my uncles, now that I am an uncle to my sisters kids.

This reply is more than 25 words, it is relevant and it is meaningful.

For the last week of August we are increasing the word count to 50+ words.

The team can dip their “eyes” into any qualifying post, in any community and with any tag on the Steemit platform

How do we dip for posts?

Just to give a clearer view on the task I can mention that on average there are +/- 3,500 posts posted on Steemit on a daily basis.

Believe us when we say it keeps us busy the whole day.

1. We keep an open eye on “All posts”.
2. We search under the various “Communities”.
3. We check the “Steem Top 75” from @realrobinhood to see where the various curation teams might have missed a post and for post not theme related.
4. We make use of stats from the various developers like @morpheussa for top ranked communities and tags.

Thank you team for another awesome week! We had our challenges but we did it!

As Steemit is not only about writing and supporting it is also about learning therefor @nadeesew is going to lead the team under my supervision in the new week. Go girl!

1. Finding good posts

---

Finding posts with good content and which qualifies stays a big task. It is a disappointment when you find a good quality post but then the author doesn’t follow club status.

To put it to the test a post was voted of a author who was not in a club. An encouraging reply was send. To date there was no response from the author. There will have to be constant follow up with authors.

2. The rule set for the Voting CSI

---

The author must have above 5% of Voting CSI and not be above 5% self-votes.

It is hard to believe that there are so many authors who doesn’t maintain their Voting CSI. Encouraging authors to increase their Voting CSI stays on the agenda.

We appeal to the admin and MOD’s of the various communities to motivate their members regarding this matter in their replies on posts and then to follow up on the progress of the author.
