Proud to announce my role in the 'Original Work Initiative' from @humanbot and @carlgnash!

in curation •  7 years ago 

Well guys, part two of my 'Curation Plan' reveal is here! :D (Part one being the 'Sunday Resteem Project').

I have been accepted on board to an initiative run by @humanbot and @carlgnash to help search for original content and curate for the Steemit Original Content Army! :D (Proud moment!) Thank you guys for having me on board :)

Here is my official Badge!

I get to choose who is awarded this amazing badge designed with my Beautiful Bella's face, smiling away at you guys. My criteria for awarding the badge is for exceptional effort on original work, ORIGINAL being the most important word here. No plagiarizing or attempts to change content slightly from another's to try and scam the system.

Adding the human touch (us sheriff's) behind the award, means there should be less chance of people trying to scam the system to obtain these awards. (eg 'originalworks' bot can be fooled quite easily apparently, who knew!)

As you may already know, I focus on curating photography from minnows and unseen posts to try and build our photography community and motivate the amazing photographer's that join Steemit and convince them to stay! Hopefully this will be another step closer to realizing this dream :)

There are more things in the curation pipeline for me, so keep checking back for more information. We will be a stronger community together!

If you would like to know more about the award initiative, you can check out the original post from @humanbot here: https://steemit.com/originalworks/@humanbot/the-humanbot-human-certified-original-work-initiative

Keep your eye out for this little beauty in the future...

Congratulations! You have been awarded the ‘Badge of Originality’ for your post!

Nice one!

thanks @choogirl! working on improving my vote amounts now to help reward people more :)

Looking forward to seeing you curating some great photography. I'm also looking at creating some curation tools to help with this kind of thing. If you are interested, i'll drop you a line when things are up and running.

absolutely! I am interested in anything that can help our community grow :) please feel free to drop me a DM on discord when you have more details :)

Will do! Always a pleasure helping out a fellow Brit :)

Awesome! Where abouts are you from? I am Nottingham based

West Norfolk at the moment, but originally from the West Midlands.

nice! :)

Awesome. Even though I write for a website, everything I do for here is just for here. I like the blog format as a break from being editorial. It's nice to know people are roaming around and looking to reward.

absolutely!the initiative is in it's early stages and there is lots more happening too :)

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing your curation choices for photographers as there's a great standard out there.

There is an amazing standard of photography out there! My main focus however will be minnows who aren't getting the views they deserve for whatever reason. Quality is definitely important, but originality and lack of exposure is the main focus here, not professional shots :) There are many great professional photographers that are already established on steemit, they don't really need my help to be fair :)

That's great news and good to know there are people like you trying to help us minnows get exposure. I'll be following to see your recommendations for sure.

great, welcome aboard! :)

Aye aye sheriff, or is that for captains lol
That sounds pretty cool TBH ! :)

Either is fine, or Ma'am xD Yes, I am really happy to be chosen for this, it is going to be great!

The post was good. You shared some of your life with us

Wow, i'm glad the number of people searching for original works here is increasing, now minnows like me can be seen more. Cheers.

No problem :) I hope more people will start curating other people's work too!

Amazing news! :D

It is isn't it! I am so excited lol

Hi @beautifulbullies, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.

If you’d like to nominate someone’s post just visit the Steemit Ramble Discord

Thank you so much! That is very kind of you! :D

Yay! So happy to have you on board! You have a wonderful eye for photography and I have been very impressed with the quality of post and poster that you feature with your resteems. And Beautiful Bella is SO CUTE!!! It was my absolute pleasure to make this badge :)

Much love - Carl

Thank you so much @carlgnash, I hope to make you proud! :)

Wonderful! Is there a way for others like myself to find out which posts you awarded the badge to?

Hmmm, not sure, that really is a question for mr @carlgnash...
I am probably the least techy person you will ever meet here on steemit lol
Great question though, perhaps I should be adding a # to my badge comment when awarded?

I'm not sure if a # would help. I've been adding them to my own posts as an experiment but haven't found a way to search for them or filter by them.
Maybe that is future functionality, so adding it now might be a good thing....
Maybe two tags: a unique badge tag for each curator and a generic one for the original work initiative as a whole.

I hadn't even thought of using tags in a comment. Is there a way (even on a 3rd party website) to search for tags used in comments?

I am the wrong person to ask...I have only just figured out how to turn my laptop on xD

I don't know of a way to search tags used in comments; I can't even seem to search on tags that I embedded in my posts.

Soon... I just started figuring out how to use Python enough to make a vote bot on the @humanbot account that will allow all badge holders to call the @humanbot vote when awarding a badge. This would work similar to calling @originalworks but @humanbot would only upvote if the person calling is on a white list (all badge holders). Once this is set up, the @humanbot upvote activity will serve as a way to see all the posts that have been awarded a Badge of Originality from any badge holder. I only upvote posts myself when @carlgnash awards a Badge of Originality, so every upvote that I make will be associated with a Badge of Originality being awarded. Now, unfortunately you would have to use a 3rd party website to see @humanbot's upvote activity because currently you can't see a user's upvote record on Steemit.com. I actually plan on setting a web front end up as well that is basically a Feed of Originality - the most recent posts upvoted by @humanbot will be displayed on the website front page. More on that to come. EDIT - just realized you specifically asked if there was a way to see posts that @beautifulbullies awarded a badge, and not just all the badge holders. This gives me a good idea! I will make separate pages on the main Feed of Originality website (not sure what the domain name is going to be yet that is just a working title) for each badge holder - so you could visit WEBSITE/beautifulbullies page to see all the posts that beautifulbullies awarded a badge

Very cool. Thanks for the clarification! I will give this some thought and maybe I can post a suggestion on @utopian-io for new functionality.

oh cool yeah I have always thought a way to view someone's upvote record on the main platform was a crucial piece of functionality that is missing. It is a pain in the bot to have to use steemd.com or another 3rd party site to do this. I hope you do submit a suggestion. Cheers - Carl "Humanbot" Gnash

Will do!

This is great news. I love the having a feed of originality idea.
Hit me or @fronttowardenemy up if need help with the web design stuff.

I just noticed your EDIT. Yes indeed, I think it'll be very nice to be able to follow a specific curator so to speak, because I might be interested in the kind of posts that one curator found badge-worthy, but have no real interest in topics that another curator awarded.

Welcome Aboard!


Let's find that good stuff :)
