News and announcements

• There were 240 active curators this week - an all time high. However, the submissions were subpar and very few of the submissions made by the newly registered curators were approved. Again, submit only posts that are exceptional and meet all the guidelines (check out https://steemit.chat/channel/curie). We urge all new curators to check out the type of posts resteemed by @curie.

• There's a new tiered system for weekly submission limits. As always, curators will receive submission limits according to their performance the previous week. Now, there will be four tiers.

CS >5, AR >85% - Unlimited submissions
CS >1 to 5 - 15 submissions
CS 0.2 to 1 and new curators - 1-2 submissions
CS <0.2 - 0 submissions

Weekly Statistics

Over the last week, Project Curie curated a total of 104 posts at an average of 15 posts per day. This is a slight decrease from last week, and also indicative of the quality our curation is going for.

Authors

The top authors recommended by our curators this week are:-

@art-study-pro
@snowmachine

Once again, a completely fresh list of promising authors, with no repeats from previous weeks!

Curators

The Top Curators list will dynamically change every other week depending on performance. Anybody will be able to rise up the ranks with consistent, quality curation. Inconsistent, low-quality curation will result in dropping out of Top curators list(or regular curation, if under-performance continues).

This week, we have upvoted 104 posts submitted by curators in http://curiesteem.com, with 1,040 STEEM to be paid out to curators.
