We are excited to see so many new artists joining our community and we are now receiving almost 80 posts per day. However, this increased number of posts is making impossible for curators to upvote extraordinary artworks with 100% weight and adding to this, our VP is not allowing us to upvote every post. (Original artwork by Artists). Keeping this in mind, we have decided to change our curation policy. Before we explain our new curation policy, we would like to show some statistics so that you all get a clear idea about what we have done so far and why we have to adopt this new method of curation.
Number of Posts Received
The total number of posts we received in November, 2017 was 4 and in December 2017, it was 32. However, you can see the huge increase in the number of posts we received in the last three months. We received 2,422 posts last month (80 Posts Per Day), 967 posts in February, 2018 and 1697 in March, 2018.
Number of Upvotes Given by Slothicorn
Month | Number Of Upvotes | Average Upvote Weight |
---|---|---|
November, 2017 | 6 | 100% |
December, 2017 | 220 | 80.24% |
January, 2018 | 311 | 66.79% |
February, 2018 | 888 | 51.10% |
March, 2018 | 821 | 40.34% |
April, 2018 | 1326 | 23.23% |
You can see from the above table that our average upvote weight is constantly decreasing with the increase in posts and eventually, it will be impossible for us to check and upvote every artwork before it's payout is released.
New Curation Policy
From now, we will be upvoting 4 outstanding posts (1 of them would be curator's favorite) with full 100% weight and 13 posts with 50% upvote who meet the following criteria.
How To Be Considered For A Slothicorn Upvote
- All art genres will be acceptable except for music and photography at this time. Some possible art forms: drawing, painting, animation, video, film, cryptographic puzzles, macrame, sewing, fabric, environmental art, sculpture, street performance, graffiti, collage, food art, comics, puppetry, opera, comic video series.
- Add the Creative Commons Attribution License if you want let others to use your art without imposing any restrictions.
- If you want to retain the full copyrights, add this statement! Copyright @username - All Rights Reserved
- You must include every possible detail to prove that the art is created by you. This can be done by sharing pictures of your art in progress (Example) or through a video.
- If you're sharing your previous work, you need to write some details about your artwork along with your picture holding the artwork. If it's a video, then you can share the Youtube link and write your Steemit username in the description of the video (Youtube)
- If you are sharing any digital art, you need to mention the program that was used to make that artwork. For example Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop etc. Artwork made with the help of mobile applications will not be considered for an upvote.

This is good news! I noticed the decreasing percentage upvote and knew it must be because of the popularity of Slothicorn increasing... This was inevitable.
I'll continue to strive for excellence with every post! Thank you for supporting artists with such diligence <3

PS: isn't the Slothicorn missing the tip of his horn in the new logo ?
I think I remember seeing the logo in different colors, so the tip might have been the same black as the background ?

Thanx for upvoting my artwork, Bond. I was pleasantly surprised and really appreciate the gesture.
I also appreciate the rule change although I was unaware of them before being a minnow.
However, is it possible to post my website link to my artwork because what I've been posting here on Steemit is my previous artwork from 2013 - 2016. Also, a few are in galleries, so I won't be able to hold my paintings when posting to prove it's my own work. And believe me, I would take/get no pleasure of stealing someone else's work and pretending it's mine. I'm sure some people do, but that's not who I am as a person.
Besides, I really don't want that much exposure of myself/face/mug here on Steemit or any other websites unless I feel it relevant to a story.
All I want to do is show my art and other works to the Steemit community and not revealing myself each time.
If I had to hold up my painting to prove it's my own work, that would require me putting on makeup,
getting dressed before I did so which would be time consuming and a waste of tme. hehe
Some people just don't want to be famous!
If you respond in my favor, that would be great, but if not, thank you.
Have a great evening!
