Steemit Update [ July 27th, 2023 ] : Community Curators for August
Thank you to all 52 people who took the time to submit an application to become a Community Curator for August.
There was again a strong field of candidates this month, making selection of the seven smaller teams for August even more difficult.
To keep it fresh we have introduced another change in the teams so August should be another interesting month of curation.
Community Curator Teams for August 2023
For August we have continued with the plan of smaller team sizes. All seven teams consist of just four members. This will mean each member earns higher rewards as a Community Curator.
We have again made more changes to the teams to help expand the reach of the curation and to allow more people to have a chance to be Community Curators.
The plan will be to continue to rotate team members more frequently so if you were not selected this month please do apply again next time.
Between the seven curation teams there will be 28 community curators with a total of 4 million SP in August.
The teams selected for August are…
TEAM 1
- @edgargonzalez [Venezuela]
- @msharif [Bangladesh]
- @sduttaskitchen [India]
- @ubongudofot [Nigeria]
TEAM 2
- @anasuleidy [Venezuela]
- @malikusman1 [Pakistan]
- @m-fdo [Sri Lanka]
- @stef1 [UK]
TEAM 3
TEAM 4
- @graceleon [Argentina]
- @patjewell [South Africa]
- @solaymann [Bangladesh]
- @wilmer1988 [Venezuela]
TEAM 5
- @chant [Cameroon]
- @deepak94 [India]
- @o1eh [Ukraine]
- @yonaikerurso [Venezuela]
TEAM BURN
- @inspiracion [Venezuela]
- @irawandedy [Indonesia]
- @jyoti-thelight [India]
- @ripon0630 [Bangladesh]
TEAM NEWCOMER
- @goodybest [Nigeria]
- @heriadi [Indonesia]
- @karianaporras [Venezuela]
- @yousafharoonkhan [Pakistan]
Congratulations to everyone selected for one of the seven teams.
Please would one person from each team confirm acceptance in a comment below and include their contact details (Discord / Telegram).
Then would the other members of each team add their acceptance to their respective starter comment along with their contact details (Discord / Telegram).
We will then be in touch to provide the keys for the accounts.
Teams are free to select a leader if they want and need to.
If anyone selected is not wanting to participate in their chosen team for any reason, please let us know in a comment as soon as possible and we may introduce substitutes.
Curation Guidelines
For Teams 1 - 5 we are continuing with the free-ranging curation.
There will be no specific themes - each team 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 out good posts everywhere - both within communities, and outside of communities.
Voting on comments should also be continued.
Good comments can be as interesting and as valuable as good posts.
We want good comments to be encouraged and rewarded.
Therefore for August we are again looking for the curation teams to continue to allocate some of their voting capacity to comments.
Team Burn
As contests are now well established the specially targeted Team Millionaire is being suspended for a while. Now all Teams will be free to support good contests amongst their general curation mix.
Taking the place of Team Millionaire will be Team Burn.
Team Burn will be using the @steemcurator03 account with 1 million SP to reward #burnsteem25 posts that have correctly set a 25% beneficiary to @null.
The Team should concentrate on #burnsteem25 posts that are also in #club5050, #club75, and particularly #club100.
Burning STEEM by sending it to the @null account helps reduce the supply of STEEM and so increase its price.
Team Newcomer
As outlined in our recruitment post Team Newcomer is a specialist curation team dedicated to supporting newcomers through their first three months on the platform.
The team will be helping people through the Newcomers Achievement Tasks in the Newcomers Community and also curating their other posts anywhere during their first three months on the platform.
All teams should ensure the posts they curate are plagiarism free and not using images from copyrighted sources.
Teams should also give preference to posts that are steem-exclusive, bot free, non AI generated and by authors in club5050, club75 or club100.
We are happy to see some flexibility on these guidelines (apart from plagiarism) for posts of the highest quality. This especially applies for Team Newcomer.
The @steemcurator accounts should only be used for voting and commenting. They should not be used for downvoting or making posts.
A comment should be left on each post voted to let the author know the post has been supported by the curation team - and please include which member of the team selected the post.
How the Curation Teams will be rewarded
Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a team member’s post - ideally in rotation.
In total therefore 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.
These weekly report posts should set beneficiaries to be shared with other members of the team.
The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.
We strongly encourage teams to ensure all members review and agree on the merits of the selected posts of the week as poor choices may influence the reward given to the weekly report by @steemcurator01.
August will present new challenges for the Community Curators, particularly with the introduction of Team Burn, and all teams now being able to support contests.
We also very much hope the August Curators will seek out the best posts across the wider platform, avoiding the ‘easy pickings’ to be found amongst their own friends and communities.

Thank you for announcing the outcome of Curator choice for August. My Congratulation to all the users who have now the responsibility to be Curators. I am happy to be a part of the Curator teams and be able to continue supporting the users across the platform.
It is a good step to create a Team Burn and to allow other communities to support the contests around the Steemit. We will see how that will influence the users and what trend it will bring. Thank you the Steemit Team for keeping this Initiative of Steemit Curators going!
