Steemit Update [January 20th, 2025] : Community Curators for February - Applications Open

It’s time for another round of Community Curator applications.

For February we are adding a new twist to the Community Curators program.

We have been very happy to see a growing number of games and apps being launched on the platform recently. As an experiment for February we want to see if we can support these new developments through the Community Curator accounts.

The Community Curators for February

For February we are inviting people interested in becoming Community Curators to apply in teams of up to three.

For February there will be a minimum SP requirement of 5000SP for each team member.

Teams will be free to vote on any types of post as long as they are not plagiarized or created by AI.

We 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 these often neglected authors.

The Curation Teams should also allocate some of their voting power to good comments.

How to Apply as a Community Curator Team

One member of the team should make a post including…

• Details of each team member, including their history on Steem and any positions of responsibility they have held on the platform

• The nationality, languages and country of residence of each team member

• The key stats of each team member (own SP, CSI, Reputation, Delegations).

Please note that each person can only be included in one application.

Supporting Games and Apps

We are also inviting developers of new games or apps on Steem to apply for a Community Curator account for February.

To apply for one of these special Community Curator accounts developers should submit an application post including…

• A brief summary of what their game or app does and how it benefits the Steem platform

• Details of how a Community Curation account would help their game or app develop and grow.

---

---

Both types of application post should 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 Monday, January 27th, 2024.

---

As usual one of the teams will be allocated the bigger @steemcurator03 account (1.2 million SP). The other teams will each have around 700K SP.

How Community Curators will be rewarded

Every day all teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a member’s post - ideally in rotation.

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 7 posts, with a brief note of why each post was chosen.

This will be the same for the Game/App Curator teams.

The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.

This will all be experimental for February.

How many of the Community Curator accounts will be allocated to the Game / App teams will depend on what applications are submitted but it is likely to be two or three.

We very much hope this initiative will provide support and encouragement to the developers who are helping enrich and broaden our platform with new games and apps.

More such developments are very much needed to help Steem grow and thrive.

Thank you to this month’s Community Curators. You are all welcome to apply again for February.

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