Steemit Update [Oct 18th, 2022] : Community Curators for November - Applications Open

We hope you are all enjoying another rather different month of the Community Curators.

From what we have observed the new Team Millionaire appears to be doing a great job in supporting and encouraging contests on the platform.

We will therefore be continuing with this special team in November.

So if you would like to have a chance of being selected for a Community Curation team for next month now is the time to make your application.

The Community Curators for November

For November we are again inviting individuals to apply if they would like to be Community Curators.

From the individual applications we will select six teams as we did for October.

The teams may be of varying size - anywhere from one to seven - depending on the number and quality of applications.

---

Again there will be no specific themes allocated for each team - except Team Millionaire.

Instead all teams 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 these out.

We hope by dropping themes and tags it will reduce the rather obvious tag content farming. There has been a considerable quantity of poor quality, often spun or plagiarized posts appearing over the last few months produced solely to chase votes from the Community Curators.

---

The Curation Teams in November should again allocate a portion of their voting power for voting on the best comments.

High-quality, relevant comments add a whole new richness to the Steem blogging ecosystem.

Good comments can be as interesting and as valuable as good posts.

We want good comments to be encouraged and rewarded.

How to Apply as a Community Curator

If you would like to be considered as a Community Curator you should make a post including…

• A brief summary of your history on Steem.

• Details of any positions of responsibility you have held on Steem.

• Details of specialist or professional skills or expertise you have in ‘real life’.

• What country you live in and what languages you can read fluently.

• Your key stats - own SP, CSI, Reputation, Delegations.

• Any subjects you particularly enjoy curating.

• The minimum team size you would be willing to serve in (1 - 7).

To apply to become a Community Curator you must have a reputation of at least 68 and you must have at least 4000 SP of your own (not delegated to you).

Previously selected Community Curators are welcome to apply again for November.

---

Keep posts brief and easy to follow. Include the tag #curatorapplication in the first four tags.

Applications can be made in any language.

Posts should be submitted by 11.59pm UTC, on Wednesday, October 26th, 2022.

How Community Curators will be rewarded

Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a member’s post - ideally in rotation. If a team has less than seven members, members can potentially receive more than one vote per week.

In total 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 5 posts, with a brief note of why each post was chosen.

These posts should set beneficiaries to share the rewards with other members of the team.

The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.

We hope the new arrangements will again encourage many more people to apply to become Community Curators.

The selections for the Curation Teams will be announced by the end of the month, with a view to starting at the beginning of November.

Thank you

The Steemit Team
