1000 DAYS OF STEEM : The Diary Game - Updates, Tips and Reminders
We have been busy, busy, busy the last few days curating Diary Game posts.
Hundreds of posts are being looked at every day by the Steemit curation team.
We wanted to make a quick post with a few reminders, tips and updates.
Follow The Rules !
At the start of Season 2 we were impressed how well people were following the rules of The Diary Game.
But as the season has progressed we are now seeing an increasing number of posts that are failing on one rule or another.
The most common mistakes are...
Falling short of the minimum 300 words requirement
Not including the correct tags - #thediarygame and #yourcountryname (eg #venezuela)
Here are the rules again for reference...
We strongly urge Team Leaders and Recruiters especially to check the posts of fellow team members and recruitees to ensure they are following the rules.
So far we have been quite lenient and still awarded points and votes for posts that haven't fully followed the rules.
However to make it fairer for those people who are following the rules we are now going to become harsher and stop giving any points or votes to those people who do not follow the rules - particularly those who repeatedly do so.
Checking posts that are not meeting the rules still wastes time for our curators so we are considering a system whereby once people have not met the rules three times then they would be dropped from our curation altogether.
We will be deciding on whether to implement this during the Mid-Season Break.
Follow The Guidelines !
While the Guidelines we have posted are optional, following them will improve your chance of getting more points and higher votes.
You will need to be reading all the @steemitblog posts to catch all the tips and guidelines but most can be found in these posts...
1000 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 14 - The Diary Game Season 2 - FINAL Rules & Guidelines
1000 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 22 - The Diary Game Season 2 - some early tips!
Some of the key ways you can optimize the rewards on your Diary Game posts include...
Make your posts interesting - include facts and details
Use images well - only use the best ones, make them large and clear, include captions saying what they are and where they were taken, and don't include more than eight
Layout your posts well, include paragraphs and white space, intersperse images and text, make the posts easy to read
Make your posts exclusive to Steem - don't duplicate them on other similar blockchains
Post using steemit.com
Again we strongly urge Team Leaders and Recruiters to check the posts of your team members and recruitees to make sure they are following the guidelines.
Steemcurator01's Curation Policy
We do get quite anxious that so many people 'demand' a visit from @steemcurator01 even when they have already been rewarded by one of the other steemcurator accounts.
@steemcurator01 aims to "top-up" the votes of the other steemcurator accounts where we consider a post deserves more than the smaller steemcurator accounts can give.
Sometimes when @steemcurator01 arrives we may consider the post has already been rewarded well enough by the other steemcurator accounts and so may not give any additional vote.
By extension @steemcurator01 also considers the total voting reward a post has already received from all curators.
If a post has already been well enough rewarded for the quality of the post, then @steemcurator01 may not give any additional vote.
This policy allows @steemcurator01 to share out its voting power as fairly as possible across all participants in the Diary Game.
We hope everyone is enjoying being part of the biggest event that has ever taken place on Steem.
We also hope people will follow the rules, take notice of the guidelines and have patience waiting for curation.
And please do remember there will be a Mid Season Break for The Diary Game between August 26th and August 31st. Diary posts from those dates will not be voted on by @steemcurator01.
Thank you,
The Steemit Team
PLEASE DO NOT PUT ANY DIARY GAME LINKS IN THE COMMENTS ON THIS POST.
THANK YOU
The rewards from this post go to support the work of @littledisciples in Venezuela.
Greetings @steemitblog, I think it's good that they are more strict, I always try to make all my diaries interesting, original, some days I fail in the rule of time to publish, but it was because as you know in Venezuela there are power failures, I hope @steemcurator01 come to support my diaries, without more to say I will continue showing my days✌️
I think we all needed this reminder. It always helps to refresh ourselves with the rules every once a while to make sure we're doing the right thing.
I think we could also set our rewards to the 100% power up to help reward more posts for the future too.
Thank you Steemit team.
Many people share their diaries. However, many people do not read logs shared with the #thediarygame tag, do not support upvote or comment. During the day, I provide both upvote and comment support to diaries of high quality and compliance with the rules. I get good feedback and answers, I like this. It's nice to interact and happy to know you have been read. I think comments and upvote support should be reflected in the scores. @steemitblog and @steemcurator01
Hey @steemcurator01 team,
Can you please visit on my profile? Actually my first 9 posts was checked after closing of voting window and I did not get any extra vote on my 10th post. Can you please please check it once?
It might be a mistake while curating .. Please check once because I followed all the rules but still did not awarded.
Even on my 10th diary I got only 0.38$.
Actually, I'm waiting for new post
Thanks for everything!
I still haven't received support from @steemcurator01 since the second season of the newspaper game started. Please I wish you could take a look ❤️
Hi, @steemitblog, @steemcurator01
I wanna introduce cryptomission project. We have developed steem dapp. Cryptomission helps people keep good habit and get rewards.
Cryptomission has some contests for steem users. For example, "Use hand sanitizer every day" contests, and "Get up at 5am in the morning"
We held contests with prizes of 100 steem for each contest. If steemit promote our project, We are really appreciated. It is our introduction posting.

Thanks,
Muchas gracias por el constante apoyo y por le gran esfuerzo que están haciendo.
Solo le queríamos comentar que dos miembros de nuestro equipo no han recibido recientemente apoyo, @krisconkr, tiene más de 16 publicaciones vencidas (desde que empezó la temporada) sin ser visitadas por @steemcurator01 con recompensas muy pequeñas y @imagen tiene más de 7 publicaciones vencidas con pagos muy bajos también. Muchas gracias y disculpa por las molestias.
Espero pronto nos tomen en cuenta.
Arriba el equipo roraima!
Saludos amigos, no se preocupen, @steemcurator01 pasará por allí pronto, con un voto recargado en caso de que cumplan con todas las reglas, yo tambien estaba ansioso de recibir su apoyo, pero no es fácil curar a tantas publicaciones, por ello se decide al descanso de media temporada, a nuestro amigo @jadnven tampoco le habían apoyado hasta que por fin en una sola publicación le dieron un voto de 50% con la cuenta @steemcurator01, sigan trabajando duro que pronto llegará el resultado de su esfuerzo y cumplimiento.
