Steemit Update [ June 29th, 2023 ] : Community Curators for July
Thank you to all 57 people who took the time to submit an application to become a Community Curator for July.
There was again a strong field of candidates this month, making selection of the seven smaller teams for July even more difficult.
July should be another interesting month of curation.
Community Curator Teams for July 2023
For July we have continued with the plan of smaller team sizes. All seven teams consist of just four members. This will mean each member earns higher rewards as a Community Curator.
We have again made more changes to the teams to help expand the reach of the curation and to allow more people to have a chance to be Community Curators.
The plan will be to continue to rotate team members more frequently so if you were not selected this month please do apply again next time.
Between the seven curation teams there will be 28 community curators with a total of 4 million SP in July.
The teams selected for July are…
TEAM 1
- @edgargonzalez [Venezuela]
- @kouba01 [Tunisia]
- @ripon0630 [Bangladesh]
- @ubongudofot [Nigeria]
TEAM 2
- @alejos7ven [Venezuela]
- @malikusman1 [Pakistan]
- @m-fdo [Sri Lanka]
- @radjasalman [Indonesia]
TEAM 3
TEAM 4
- @graceleon [Argentina]
- @jyoti-thelight [India]
- @solaymann [Bangladesh]
- @wilmer1988 [Venezuela]
TEAM 5
- @chant [Cameroon]
- @deepak94 [India]
- @irawandedy [Indonesia]
- @yonaikerurso [Venezuela]
TEAM MILLIONAIRE
- @disconnect [Sri Lanka]
- @inspiracion [Venezuela]
- @o1eh [Ukraine]
- @stef1 [UK]
TEAM NEWCOMER
- @ashkhan [Pakistan]
- @goodybest [Nigeria]
- @heriadi [Indonesia]
- @nahela [Venezuela]
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 July we are again 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 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 enlarge 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 July.
Team Newcomer
As outlined in our recent recruitment post Team Newcomer is 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.
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, non AI generated 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 for 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.
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.
July will present new challenges for the Community Curators, particularly with the reduced team sizes and the extra vigilance needed to combat AI generated content from ChatGPT or other similar sites.
We also very much hope the July Curators will seek out the best posts across the wider platform, avoiding the ‘easy pickings’ to be found amongst their own friends and communities.
Thank you
