Steemit Update [Nov 22nd, 2022] : Community Curators for December - Team Newcomer
We have decided to make a further expansion to the Community Curators.
Newcomers to the platform are so important. Keeping them motivated and enthused is vital. Making sure they don’t miss out on curation is a key part of that.
To help with this we are setting up a dedicated Community Curation team for newcomers.
If you would like to be part of Team Newcomer now is your chance to apply.
Team Newcomer
The Newcomers’ Community, led by @cryptokannon and @inspiracion, has done a great job mentoring and encouraging new people to join Steem over the past couple of years.
There have however been increasing challenges in the community particularly from fake accounts being set up just to harvest the guaranteed votes given to the Achievement posts.
We now want to try a different approach to support newcomers on the platform.
Team Newcomer will be a dedicated curation team like Team Millionaire. It will focus on guiding newcomers through the Achievement Tasks and supporting them during their first three months on the platform.
The team will have the @steemcurator09 account, which will be boosted to 500K SP, to vote on all and any posts and comments from people who have been on the platform for 3 months or less.
They will still encourage people to do the Achievement Tasks, but votes will not be guaranteed on these.
The team will be made up of seven members. It will be ideal if the members have been involved in helping newcomers before, either in the Newcomers’ Community or in their own communities.
We hope to have a good mix of nationalities and languages among the team members.
How to Apply as a Member of Team Newcomer
If you would like to be considered as a Community Curator for this special team 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 experience you have had helping newcomers on the platform.
What country you live in and what languages you can read fluently.
Your key stats - own SP, CSI, Reputation, Delegations.
To apply to become a Community Curator you must have a reputation of at least 69 and you must have at least 4500 SP of your own (not delegated to you).
Previously selected Community Curators are welcome to apply again for this team.
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 11:59 pm UTC, on Sunday, November 27th, 2022.
IMPORTANT: If you have already made an application post to be a community curator for December, please edit that post, clearly stating that you would like to be considered for Team Newcomer as well as the other teams.
Please note that people can only be a member of one Community Curation team.
How Community Curators will be rewarded
As this Team is new and the curation and guidance work may be more time-consuming than with the other Teams the rewards are being increased.
Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate two full votes to member’s posts - ideally in rotation. Each member will therefore receive two votes per week.
Additionally twice a 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 posts should set beneficiaries to share the rewards with other members of the team.
The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01.
This new team and these new rewards are experimental and will be reviewed after the first month.
We very much hope enough people apply to join this new team to help Newcomers. Existing Admins and Mods of the Newcomer’s Community are particularly welcome to apply. This new team would give them an opportunity to earn additional rewards for their work.
For all the existing Newcomers’ Community team members, we thank you greatly for all you have done helping Newcomers.
We welcome any comments, suggestions, or ideas on how this new Community Curation team can best be used to support Newcomers and improve their retention on the platform.
The selections for this Curation Team will be announced, alongside the other Teams, by the end of the month, with a view to starting at the beginning of December.
The Steemit Team
Terimakasih telah menyelenggarakan seleksi hebat ini. Semoga Newcomers akan semakin berkembang dengan adanya dukungan program ini.
Saran dari saya, jika boleh ditambah syarat bahwa pelamar yang dipertimbangkan telah mendapatkan gelar Pro Newcomer selain Greeter dan Greeter Helper yang pernah bertugas, mengingat tugas ini sedikit berbeda dengan mengelola komunitas lainnya.
Thank you @steemitblog Steemit Team, for the rescue. We indeed need this kind of support in curation for the newcomers as we are occupied with the newcomers' achievement program. The other kind of posts from newcomers need curation support, too, and this is where we need to improve. Hopefully, with this Team Newcomers, more newcomers can be supported well and improve their retention on this platform.
Steem is a great platform and I am happy to join
This is one of the greatest initiatives I saw in the recent past. Most of the newcomers face difficulties in getting good votes and recognition at the start. That makes them discouraged. And also we have seen reward abuse through the achievement program. A dedicated team will surely resolve this problem.
As I know, there is a database of the newcomers and their achievements. So, regularly updating that list (may be a seperate one with the users up to three months), will help the team to easily track the users...
Wishing this initiative, nothing but complete success!!
Congratulations, your comment has been successfully curated by @irawandedy at 5%.

@steemdoctor1 look here
Thanks. 😊
This is undoubtedly a great innovation. A program that is aimed at considering the existence of new users such that feel they are welcomed in the ecosystem and appreciated during their infant stages on the platform.
Altogether, it would serve as motivation to keep newbies going as they develop gradually to becoming great Steemians in a few months. Thanks to the team for this awesome development.
Hopefully, this initiative will make it easier for newcomers to understand Steemit.
🥰🥰🥰
good
This is a very nice approach to supporting newcomers by encouraging them with comments and upvotes. I wanted to drop my application before seeing this, which means I have to edit it before posting it.
