in #the100daysofsteem5 years ago (edited)

Thank you to everyone who has submitted an application to become a Community Curator.

We are delighted to have received 49 applications by today’s deadline.

For anyone or any project that didn’t manage to get an application in there will be another opportunity to apply next month.

In recognition of the large number of applications we have increased the number of Community Curators from four to six!


The Community Curators Applications

We have received applications from the following accounts…

@acostaeladio, @apon6431, @arkmy, @aulia1993, @buttcoins, @canna-curate, @clixmoney, @cn-curation, @cryptokannon, @darlenys01, @darthnava, @dobartim, @edgarare1, @electrodo, @emp2-00com, @geeklania, @georgeboya, @greece-lover, @jack8831, @jacobyu, @josephsavage, @lanzjoseg, @leveuf, @levycore, @mariita52, @mehta, @mekkeyz, @mrviquez, @mykos, @muskman, @nextgen622, @nucleo-fse, @project.hope, @remlaps, @roadofrich, @roadstories, @siavach, @sportsncoffee, @steeminator3000, @stef1, @sumit71428, @surpassinggoogle, @symbionts, @team-mexico, @templo, @travelfeed, @wherein, @wira8788, @yehey

If you have submitted an application before today’s deadline and it is not on this list please let us know in the comments below as soon as possible.

We are not taking any more applications now for this first round.

Likewise if you want to add any additional information or even withdraw your application please comment below.

Members of the Steemit team will now be reviewing all the applications and the chosen accounts will be announced in the next few days.

They will then be given the posting key for one of the Community Curator accounts to use from 1 May to 31 May. The method for the transmission of the keys will be announced separately.


Usage of the Community Curator Accounts

The usage of the Curator accounts will be monitored closely and anyone found misusing them will have their access withdrawn. The accounts should not be used for downvoting.

We are looking for curators to vote for as wide a range of accounts as possible, rewarding quality posts, particularly those that are not cross-posted on other platforms. We also hope curators will do their best to encourage newcomers to Steem.

The account manager should ideally not vote their own personal accounts.

All votes should be accompanied by a curation comment that includes the line…

“This post has been rewarded by the Steem Community Curation Project. #communitycuration

Community Curators should post weekly reports on their curation activities - the format will be left to their own choice. This post should be made on the account manager’s own account. These weekly posts will be rewarded with a Steemit vote.

As this will be the first month of the Community Curators project there will likely be some refinements and adjustments as the project progresses.

We hope the Community Curators selected will demonstrate best practice in rewarding quality content, building communities and encouraging good creators to flourish on the Steem platform.


Thank you,

The Steemit Team

When does the application for next round open up ?

At the weekend - probably Sunday.

Fantastic!

Well done to Steemians who made it to through the application process. I have a good feeling about this initiative since curation is a huge deal for steem. Although I'm not expecting a perfect outcome for the first month, I believe that it will still have a good impact to the platform. It's a work in progress and it's heading to the right direction.

So, thanks a lot to Steemit who are hardwork maintaining the motivation among the Steem users!

Thank you. As this is a new initiative we will be learning from the first month to refine and optimize.

But we hope it will benefit and encourage the community.

I totally understand. I saw the post for the selected curators and I must say that you made a good selection. The selected curators are reputable.

Excited to see them in action anytime soon. And I also hope that they improve the onboarding of new users and user retention.

Happy days!
Thanks a lot Steemit Team.

Thank you for your application. Sorry you were not successful in the first round, but do try again next month.

We have been very impressed by all the people who have made applications.

I am glad that this project is progressing !

I have also applied for our curator account @steem-bootcamp and would like to add some more points.

If we are selected then we will also get votes for contributions that are not so outstanding. It is simply important to motivate members and to show "we see that you are here".

New members are also given special support. These are very important for the system. They usually first have to recognize in which area they become active. Also these receive vote.

Of course, these are not 100% votes because we only give them to really very good contributions!

We also have virtual events where 5-50 cent votes are always given on comments. This should then be considered in the evaluation. Because someone who comments diligently can have received 20 votes in 7 days. But it concerns thereby evenly only a few cent.

We also keep it so that our daily statistics receive a 100 % vote. This income is important to strengthen our curator account. These earnings remain at 100 % on the account. They are used to claim new accounts and of course to provide them with a small delegation. With this action Steemit gets the 50% curation and you should really consider whether it is better to delegate the stake.

I have applied and leave a comment in the main post ... My name does not appear here ... I will leave the data again ... Thank you ...

Great to see this moving forward

Thanks for the opportunity! I’m seeing lots of negativity, but any chance to help build the community is a great thing. Yes there are many things that are not ideal, but with time I fell we can overcome these obstacles. But communication and hard work is what is required.

We will be in touch shortly about the key for the Curator account.

Great news! Thank you

Yes, please add this back into the hamburger menu. It provides much needed retention for Steem , which is much needed. Right, this is the most important thing for Steem is retention or you'll bleed out there. Here is my post.
