Community Curator Teams for April 2022 - The rules, tags and themes in one place.
Introduction
The Community Curator Teams for April 2022 has been announced by @steemitblog. You probably heard about it already. These teams of 7 each, will work on various posts under each theme or category in this month of April. In this post, I will explain what you need to do to get support from the themes, and how to use the tags properly.
Content Quality and Club Status.
The community curators have been hammering on content quality. There are many writers submitting posts in the various themes last month, but very few quality posts have been made. So if you are really serious about gettting support from the teams, you must make sure you publish high quality posts. In addition to the classes we have heard in the community about how to make your post have some quality, here are a few other things you have to bear in mind about quality.
1. Publish original content only: You know how we view plagiarism on this platform. Its like stealing. We completely frown upon plagiarized content. So please make sure your publications are plagiarism-free. Do research on your selected topic and be sure to publish your own works. If you must include other people's work in your post, such as text or image, be sure to put the source. In this way, you produce strictly original work.
2. Steemexclusive: One of the tags you must use is #steemexclusive. Using this tag means that your work exists only on the Steemit platform. You must not reproduce the post or allow it to exist on another content publishing platform or even on social media. We want Steemit publications to be unique. This helps the platform to appear on search results on Google and boost our uniqueness. So please do not publish your Steemit posts on other platforms. If you do, then you are not supposed to use the #steemexclusive tag.
3. Length of Post: 300 words has been the recommended minimum length for your posts. But then, you should not limit yourself to just 300 words. Making a quality post in 300 words will always be difficult. So please try to make your publications have depth. Go beyon 300 words. Make longer, more-detailed articles. If you are in doubt about the length of your work, use this Word Counter to check.
4. Club: Almost everyone on Steemit now understands that you must at least be in club5050 to receive support. Always check your status in steemworld. Power up at least half of your transfers within a month to remain in club5050. If you power up 75% of your earns within the last 2 months,you are in club75. If you had powered up all your earnings in the last 3 months, you are in club100. So the curators will not support your post if you are not at least in club5050. Source
Alright. Now we will let you know about the themes and tags to use for your posts.
Themes and tags
As you already know, there are five teams for the month of April. Each team has the category of posts they curate. Knowing the teams is very important to enable you submit your publications. Each team uses tags to help them find your posts. So it is equally important to know the tags for each team so that your posts will be found. So in the following paragraphs, I will list the teams and the tags they have designed for their posts. Additional information will also be found in the team announcement post which I will also include. Now lets see the categories.

Conclusion
Always work hard to get support from the teams. If you make quality posts, support will come. Remember though that support is never guaranteed, so keep on working hard and improve. Please do not abuse the tags or mix them up. If you use the wrong tags, your posts will not be found.
As you work hard to get the support and publicity your posts require, I wish you all the best in this month of April.
