Achievement 6 Task by @prince4icon : Understanding Curation and Community

Introduction

Good day great people of Steemit Community! Having completed my achievement 1-5 I gladly present to this great platform my Achievement 6 task which talkes about voting and Curation.

Do you understand how voting and curation work in steemit?

In Steemit platform Curation is another name for voting. User in this platform are voted for their good content and every users have the ability to vote, but it all depends on their Steem Power level that is what would determine the weight of the vote.

For us to have a proper understanding of the voting and how it works we need to look at the Voting Mana.

Voting Mana

The best thing we can use to describe a voting Mana is a bar which is calibrated from 0 to 100%, this bar reduces each time we vote for any user. A small portion of your voting Mana is used each time you cast a vote, but the initial voting Mana is always 100%. As we vote for users it decreases from the initial value to a lower value depending on how much vote we cast in a day. The influence of your vote is affected by the frequent use of your voting Mana, what I mean is that the more you cast a vote the lesser the influence of the vote on the content you voted for. The good thing about our voting Mana is that it gets 20% automatic recharged every blessed day. Every newbies needs their voting Mana to be 100% before they can vote, but for members with 500SP and above a vote slider appears for them to adjust their voting percentage between 100% to 1%.

Our current voting Mana can be seen by going through steemscan.com or through steemdb.io and so on

What happened if you vote a post before 5 minutes marks after posting?

There laid down principles that guides voting in this platform, if this principles is not followed it is the users that would face the consequences.
The reward that comes to any created content in this platform is divided into two, 50% of the reward goes to the Creator of the content while 50% goes to curators.
If any user votes a content as soon as the content was released the consequences is that 100% of the curators reward will go to the reward pool and not to the curators. Below are the break down;
Voting after 0minutes; Curators reward 0% reward pool receives 100%

Voting after 1minutes; Curators reward 20% reward pool receives 80%

Voting after 2minutes; Curators reward 40% reward pool receives 60%

Voting after 3minutes; Curators reward 60% reward pool receives 40%

Voting after 4minutes; Curators reward 80% reward pool receives 20%

Voting after 5minutes; Curators reward 100% reward pool receives 0%

Who will you vote for Steem Witness ? and Why?

There are several people that have added value into this Steemit platform and if I want to vote for witnesses I would be voting this persons. One of such person is @steemchiller who took his time in developing Steemworld which is an amazing addition to the platform. Through Steemworld we can do several things in the Steemit platform such as delegating steem power, checking incoming and outgoing votes and so much more. This is one person that may earn my witness votes.
