What's With All The New Down Vote Bots?

Recently this account and others have been getting downvotes from relatively new accounts with just the 15 delegated sp. Fortunately, the downvote is not that much. But it is really lame to downvote and not explain why. At least if an explanation is included then the person can evaluate changing their action so the downvoter can be happy

It looks as if we have all been hit with the new epidemic spreading across the steemit platform lately; downvoting bots! They have come out in droves and steemians are not taking lightly to this negativity. Share your experience in @learnguitar's post if you've been slapped with a downvote in the last two weeks because of these bots.

Terrific Mothering In Nature

Normally we would have disposed of them but... actions inspired us to let them be even though it will be a problem I will deal with later if the foxes, owls or snakes don't take care of it first

Want to know what @liberyworms found when they were working outside? You won't believe it! See how they plan on managing this 'problem'; or how they plan on letting nature take its course.

For The Love Of Biryani

It's summer in the UAE and the temperatures can soar up to 50°C (and something) plus high ĺevels of humidity that will make you get soaked just by merely standing outdoors. Call us crazy, but my colleague and I braved the sun yesterday and went out for lunch at 1:30pm.
Well, the initial plan was just to walk around the block and pay for my credit card but we ended up ordering biryani at the restaurant we recently discovered. Their menu is mouthwateringly pictured on their brochure and we thought, why not give it a try?

Biryani has become one of @arrliinn's favorite dishes to eat since going to the UAE. This Indian rice dish is flavorful and it looks as if they could eat it every day now.

Giant-Leaf Fig Trees

Giant-leaf fig is a big tree found in KwaZulu-Natal on the coast, growth in height, up to 25 meters, with a width of 30 to 45 meters, offering good shade under leaves the size of your hand

Important News:

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your fiends is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friends is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P

Qurator banners

If you would like to show some more support and use Qurator banners then please head over to this post and copy the banner links from there. =)
