Steemit Update [Nov 22nd, 2022] : Community Curators for December - Team Newcomer
We have decided to make a further expansion to the Community Curators.
Newcomers to the platform are so important. Keeping them motivated and enthused is vital. Making sure they don’t miss out on curation is a key part of that.
To help with this we are setting up a dedicated Community Curation team for newcomers.
If you would like to be part of Team Newcomer now is your chance to apply.
Team Newcomer
The Newcomers’ Community, led by @cryptokannon and @inspiracion, has done a great job mentoring and encouraging new people to join Steem over the past couple of years.
There have however been increasing challenges in the community particularly from fake accounts being set up just to harvest the guaranteed votes given to the Achievement posts.
We now want to try a different approach to support newcomers on the platform.
Team Newcomer will be a dedicated curation team like Team Millionaire. It will focus on guiding newcomers through the Achievement Tasks and supporting them during their first three months on the platform.
The team will have the @steemcurator09 account, which will be boosted to 500K SP, to vote on all and any posts and comments from people who have been on the platform for 3 months or less.
They will still encourage people to do the Achievement Tasks, but votes will not be guaranteed on these.
The team will be made up of seven members. It will be ideal if the members have been involved in helping newcomers before, either in the Newcomers’ Community or in their own communities.
We hope to have a good mix of nationalities and languages among the team members.
How to Apply as a Member of Team Newcomer
If you would like to be considered as a Community Curator for this special team you should make a post including…
A brief summary of your history on Steem.
Details of any positions of responsibility you have held on Steem.
Details of experience you have had helping newcomers on the platform.
What country you live in and what languages you can read fluently.
Your key stats - own SP, CSI, Reputation, Delegations.
To apply to become a Community Curator you must have a reputation of at least 69 and you must have at least 4500 SP of your own (not delegated to you).
Previously selected Community Curators are welcome to apply again for this team.
Keep posts brief and easy to follow. Include the tag #curatorapplication in the first four tags.
Applications can be made in any language.
Posts should be submitted by 11:59 pm UTC, on Sunday, November 27th, 2022.
IMPORTANT: If you have already made an application post to be a community curator for December, please edit that post, clearly stating that you would like to be considered for Team Newcomer as well as the other teams.
Please note that people can only be a member of one Community Curation team.
How Community Curators will be rewarded
As this Team is new and the curation and guidance work may be more time-consuming than with the other Teams the rewards are being increased.
Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate two full votes to member’s posts - ideally in rotation. Each member will therefore receive two votes per week.
Additionally twice a week one member should post a report for the team in the Steem POD community with a list of their top 7 posts, with a brief note of why each post was chosen.
These posts should set beneficiaries to share the rewards with other members of the team.
The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.
This new team and these new rewards are experimental and will be reviewed after the first month.
We very much hope enough people apply to join this new team to help Newcomers. Existing Admins and Mods of the Newcomer’s Community are particularly welcome to apply. This new team would give them an opportunity to earn additional rewards for their work.
For all the existing Newcomers’ Community team members, we thank you greatly for all you have done helping Newcomers.
We welcome any comments, suggestions, or ideas on how this new Community Curation team can best be used to support Newcomers and improve their retention on the platform.
The selections for this Curation Team will be announced, alongside the other Teams, by the end of the month, with a view to starting at the beginning of December.
The Steemit Team
Terimakasih telah menyelenggarakan seleksi hebat ini. Semoga Newcomers akan semakin berkembang dengan adanya dukungan program ini.
Saran dari saya, jika boleh ditambah syarat bahwa pelamar yang dipertimbangkan telah mendapatkan gelar Pro Newcomer selain Greeter dan Greeter Helper yang pernah bertugas, mengingat tugas ini sedikit berbeda dengan mengelola komunitas lainnya.
Thank you @steemitblog Steemit Team, for the rescue. We indeed need this kind of support in curation for the newcomers as we are occupied with the newcomers' achievement program. The other kind of posts from newcomers need curation support, too, and this is where we need to improve. Hopefully, with this Team Newcomers, more newcomers can be supported well and improve their retention on this platform.
Steem is a great platform and I am happy to join
This is one of the greatest initiatives I saw in the recent past. Most of the newcomers face difficulties in getting good votes and recognition at the start. That makes them discouraged. And also we have seen reward abuse through the achievement program. A dedicated team will surely resolve this problem.
As I know, there is a database of the newcomers and their achievements. So, regularly updating that list (may be a seperate one with the users up to three months), will help the team to easily track the users...
Wishing this initiative, nothing but complete success!!

I will surely apply for this opportunity. Thanks again.
This is a great idea, wish it was available when I started~! 🖖
Hello @steemitblog
It is an interesting initiative. I think that improving the support new users receive in addition to a good guide is a great incentive, and could this new team, hand in hand with the work done by other communities orienting new users, make a big difference in the possibility of permanence of users on the platform in the long term.
Hello @steemitblog,
I am an old user, and my at-the-moment presence here is mainly with upvotes to several posts. Maybe I am not the needed figure to be a curator. But I write you to submit a question about the guidelines on Steemit.
I explain my self: I launched a photography contest many months ago on Steemit, and continued it up to now. When the hard fork with Hive blockchain happened, I followed the major part of the participants, not having a personal policy about the happening. But, now, I am finding problems with some members that proclaimed a zero tolerance towards considering a translation post in a native language community as a post on which I can obtain a reward. This policy is not mine because a person spend time, knowledge and resources to do it: so, I decided to don't follow it. So, I ask you: what are the policy here on Steemit? Is there the same, or is it allow posting in english one time and in my native language in a native language community another time? I discovered that this way is better to obtain the engagement from a native language community.
I excuse me and, please, I ask you if you can give me an answer, or you can indicate me another way to obtain it.
Thank you very much for your time.
Hello @davidesimoncini
I know That the question is not directly for me, But what you raise, as far as I know, is not allowed on Steemit as it is "duplication of content".
That is, a post in Indonesian, for example, is posted in the Indonesian community, but then you go to the Japanese community, and using translator, you post it again in Japanese, and so you do the same in Spanish, Russian, German, etc.
The same post published 5 times? It can lend itself to that even if it's not what you would particularly do, I'm sure others would.
Particularly as a community administrator I would tell you that this is not well seen in Steemit either.
I hope it at least gives you an idea, or an answer, although I know it is not directed at me the question.
Regards. Have a nice week
Thank you, @josevas217 for your answer. The simple point is that a translation is not the same thing of the native content, and it seems to me that isn't a problem if the goal is to reach two different people groups. The problem is when big upvotes reach low quality contents or a user upvote itself many times. But if the people don't like it basing on their personal policy, I can't do anything. Do you know where I can ask about this type of questions? For example, a contact address to the team or a specific user linked to it?
Thank you again for your answer, and have a nice day. :)
Hello friend, it is not necessary to do translations because for that there is google translator.
It is recommended that you publish in your native language, the one that you master the best, and in the same publication you can place an English translation.
You can see the examples in the posts of the steemit engagement challenge contests.
I know there are online translators, but
I understand the problem of translations a lot because I have studied this myself.
The problem is that in Steemit two publications with the same content is not recommended, it can be interpreted as a double publication, even if they are different languages.
Unfortunately, I'm running into the same problem on other platforms as well. Just to be clear, I had moved to Hive at the time of the Steemit hard fork, because I am managing a contest whose participants had mostly moved to the other platform at that time. Now, over the last few weeks, I've been targeted by some projects and users adopting the interpretation you just described. The problem with these platforms is that there is a downvote that can be used in any way, even to impose one's own personal policy, and this is unacceptable. To make an analogy, it's like handing over a car to a person who then uses it to run over someone, intentionally or not. The auto exists, but nobody has the right to run over someone with it.
As I wrote in a paragraph of a complaint article published on the other platform, the downvote is not a tool that allows you to say whether you like or dislike content (this can be done simply by not voting for the content you don't like, which adds a value of 0 to that content), but it only allows you to deprive the author of the value that another user has recognized in his content.
I don't know if you're interested in following me on a specific argument, but I write it anyway :). If I had another voting system in which each user could vote in absolute votes (like up to 10) and I who didn't consider that post as deserving of 10 would go with a vote up to zero to lower the average (and, consequently, the value released to that post). Here, instead, we have a different system, based on the fact that no one can choose an absolute vote, but can only decide to give a value from the reward pool limited to the portion of the SP he/she controls (compared to the total of the existing SPs) to a content. From which follows that content that also has great value for certain users, will have a zero value because someone who doesn't like that content exploits their position of strength given by a greater SP possessed to reduce the value of that post to zero. In the post I mentioned earlier, I talked about this using the analogy of a hypothetical "bakery case".
Thank you anyway for your answer. Then, do you know about a way to contact the Steemit team, to understand if there are possible ways to face a possible situation like the one I met on the other platform?

Oh nice
Nice
Thank you for so much for the update. I like the new initiative for new comers guidance and encouragement. I would love to be a part of new comers community curator team as I have introduced many users during my journey on steemit and other guidance as well by commenting on their posts. I hope this initiative will allow more users to participate and help new comers. Best of luck to all the community Curators applicant's for December.
