Steemit Update [Nov 30th, 2022]: Community Curators for December
Thank you to all 64 people who took the time to submit an application to become a Community Curator for November.
By chance there were exactly the same number of applicants this month as there were last month !
As well continuing with Team Millionaire, December also sees the introduction of Team Newcomer.
December should be another very interesting month of curation.
Community Curator Teams for December 2022
With so many strong applications it was again difficult to make the selections.
To maintain a certain level of continuity and experience, many of the curators have been kept on for another month, but we have also rotated in a number of new people to help expand the reach of the curation teams.
Seven members in each team appears to work well so we have kept with that. With the arrival of Team Newcomer it now means there will be 49 community curators with a total of 4 million SP in December.
The teams selected for December are…

Congratulations to everyone selected for one of the seven teams.
Please would one person from each team confirm acceptance in a comment below and include their contact details (Discord / Telegram).
Then would the other members of each team add their acceptance to their respective starter comment along with their contact details (Discord / Telegram).
We will then be in touch to provide the keys for the accounts.
Teams are free to select a leader if they want and need to.
If anyone selected is not wanting to participate in their chosen team for any reason, please let us know in a comment as soon as possible and we may introduce substitutes.
Curation Guidelines
For Teams 1 - 5 we are continuing with the free-ranging curation.
There will be no specific themes - each team will be free to vote on posts on any subject.
We also want teams to look beyond communities. There are many good posts that are outside of any communities - just directly on people’s personal blogs.
Teams should seek out good posts everywhere - both within communities and outside of communities.
Voting on comments should also be continued.
Good comments can be as interesting and as valuable as good posts.
We want good comments to be encouraged and rewarded.
Therefore for November we are looking for the curation teams to continue to allocate some of their voting capacity to comments.
Team Millionaire
Team Millionaire will be in charge of the @steemcurator03 account that now has 1 million SP.
This Team has a special mission to encourage and expand contests and challenges on Steem.
Contests are a great way to encourage participation, expand activity and range of content, and to share rewards.
They are also a very good way for newcomers to expand their connections in the community and to build their Steem Power.
We would like Team Millionaire to seek out and reward people running the best contests and challenges.
To find the best contests they should look at the creativity and originality of the contests, the clarity of the rules and presentation, and the size of the prizes.
They should also be considering the number of participants for each contest.
The Team can also allocate a portion of their votes as prizes for contests as long as they are completed and awarded before the end of November.
The latest Contest Alerts post from @disconnect lists 77 current contests and challenges with a prize pool valued at over 800 STEEM.
We hope to see a good increase in those numbers by the end of December with the help of Team Millionaire.
It would also be good to see some new and original contest formats appearing on the platform.
Contests are also a great way to promote Steem on other social media.
It would be ideal therefore for Team Millionaire to connect with @o1eh and @pollito22 who are running a Social Marketing Plan for Steem.
Team Newcomer
As outlined in our recent recruitment post Team Newcomer will be a specialist curation team dedicated to supporting newcomers through their first three months on the platform.
The team will be helping people through the Newcomers Achievement Tasks in the Newcomers Community and also curating their other posts anywhere during their first three months on the platform.
This new team and their new rewards are experimental and will be reviewed after the first month.
All teams should ensure the posts they curate are plagiarism-free and not using images from copyrighted sources.
Teams should also give preference to posts that are steem-exclusive, bot free and by authors in club5050, club75 or club100.
We are happy to see some flexibility on these guidelines (apart from plagiarism) for posts of the highest quality. This especially applies to Team Newcomer.
The @steemcurator accounts should only be used for voting and commenting. They should not be used for downvoting or making posts.
We suggest that a comment is left on each post voted to let the author know the post has been supported by the curation team - and please include which member of the team selected the post.
How the Curation Teams will be rewarded
Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a team member’s post - ideally in rotation.
In total therefore no more than 10% of the account’s voting power should be used on team members each week.
This applies for Team Millionaire as well.
Additionally each 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 weekly report posts should set beneficiaries to be shared with other members of the team.
The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.
We strongly encourage teams to ensure all members review and agree on the merits of the selected posts of the week as poor choices may influence the reward given to the weekly report by @steemcurator01.
For Team Newcomer the rewards are doubled up.
Every day the team 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.
December is going to be another interesting month for the Community Curation project.
We are very much looking forward to seeing a continued growth of contests and challenges, as well as strong support for newcomers to the platform.
Thank you
The Steemit Team
Thank you very much for this great opportunity to collaborate in the Newcomers team, we will be doing our best.

Therefore we are inviting @deepak94 to join Team Newcomer as a replacement.

@deepak94 will be a perfect replacement if he agrees. Thanks for coming to our rescue. I have been thinking of who to invite that will fit in
This is sad that @patjewell stepped down but whatever her reason is, let’s just respect her decision. I gladly welcome @deepak94 to join our team knowing that he is also performing well on this platform.
Oh, We'll wait for a replacement.
Thank you! Your understanding of my situation was appreciated.
As for the team, sorry for letting you down.

How sad!
It's more than cruel to play with trust, I'm disgusted.
Whoever did this damages the reputation of EACH member of the former Team 4.

After a bit of digging and some help from @petface, we can quickly absolve every team member form any wrong doing but a mistake was made and...
it's crucial that all teams learn from this.
When the team was created, a Discord link was shared with the new team in response to @steemitblog's post. This link was available to all (and still is if you know where to look).
Within the publicly available Discord channel, the posting keys are clearly visible.
A currently unknown assailant (silva#6188) joined the group and he had a lot of fun playing with himself.

@the-gorilla - thank you for your investigation into this problem.
Definite lessons to be learnt by all Community Curators.
Keep Discords private to the team, don't share invites on chain, don't invite in strangers, be very careful with keys...
You're welcome 👍
If you haven't seen it, a "confession" has been published with the usual supporting account getting thrown under the bus. There's obviously a very strong whiff of bullshit surrounding it which I've spent too much time sniffing around (as usual) 🙄
Exactly sir. It was a mistake from us sharing discord on chain... That won't repeat itself ever again 🙏🙏
Thanks a million for l👀king into this @the-gorilla Every day is a school day 😊
Thanks for these details, That clears off the formal Team 4 Members.
What a shame things like that happen indeed. I was asleep, working from home today, my alarm went off at 8:45, can provide data from my smartwatch upon request 😜 I know there are very experienced curators and developers here who I believe will figure this all out and let us know. The link to our Discord channel was posted here as part of the comments, so at 6:45 silva#6188 joined our server and it all started to go down. Our team leader advised us that he has spoken directly to the Steemit team about all this.
I received this invitation, for him to enter the channel, someone must have invited him, I don't know if that can be known in Discord.
@the-gorilla, @chriddi
The Discord invitation was shared on-chain (comment now edited to remove the link).
Let's see if their achievement 1 is ready and waiting 🙂
Greetings friend, it seems strange to me that this has happened, it is unfortunate that someone from the team has lent himself to use the SC07 account irresponsibly.
@steemcurator01
@chriddi, It really an abuse of the account. As one of the members of Team 4, I have called the attention of my formal team members. I will be looking for more details from the steemit team, given the reputation of the formal Team 4 Members. I will in no way accept that formal Team 4 deliberately abused the account.
From my point of view, we put in our best and all to serve the platform. My suspicion as of now could be a fault in the system or a breach of security in the wrong hands. Thanks for calling out attention.
Happy to continue to fulfill the role of curator now with the millionaire team, it will be a very good month. Thanks for the opportunity, I will continue to do my best.
