Steemit Update [ December 26th, 2023 ] : Community Curators for January
![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXrkvRCpHj62gm5XR1TUDxA7R7Kyybi2FgkTaRrPzgcoP/steemit-logo.png)
Thank you to all 42 people who took the time to submit an application to become a Community Curator for January.
There was again a strong field of candidates this month, making selection of the seven teams for January as difficult as usual.
Community Curator Teams for January 2024
For January 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 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 January.
The teams selected for January are…
TEAM 1
- @el-nailul [Indonesia]
- @o1eh [Ukraine]
- @pelon53 [Venezuela]
- @shiftitamanna [Bangladesh]
TEAM 2
- @edgargonzalez [Venezuela]
- @malikusman1 [Pakistan]
- @patjewell [South Africa]
- @waterjoe [Indonesia]
TEAM 3
- @eliany [Nigeria]
- @karianaporras [Venezuela]
- @ridwant [Indonesia]
- @suboohi [Pakistan]
TEAM 4
- @alejos7ven [Venezuela]
- @chant [Cameroon]
- @radjasalman [Indonesia]
- @sohanurrahman [Bangladesh]
TEAM 5
- @damithudaya [Sri Lanka]
- @harferri [Indonesia]
- @josepha [Nigeria]
- @wilmer1988 [Venezuela]
TEAM BURN
- @inspiracion [Venezuela]
- @irawandedy [Indonesia]
- @kouba01 [Tunisia]
- @ripon0630 [Bangladesh]
TEAM NEWCOMER
- @ashkhan [Pakistan]
- @goodybest [Nigeria]
- @heriadi [Indonesia]
- @nahela [Venezuela]
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 January 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 has been 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 again this month 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.
January will again present new challenges for the Community Curators.
We also very much hope the January 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

Gracias por la oportunidad de continuar en el Team 3 y al equipo.

Thank you Steemit Team for this opportunity for us.

@ridwant - on your application you listed yourself as in #club5050, but we have just noticed that you made a withdrawal of 1000 STEEM on December 3rd and you have not powered up an equal or greater amount in the past 30 days.
You are not therefore currently in #club5050. This will make you ineligible to be a Community Curator.
Are we correct in our observations?
First of all, I apologize, I have made the disbursement because of the urgent need for my medical expenses at the hospital. A few days ago I lost the club (after I applied for a curator application) and until now I can't do a powerup of 1000 steem.
I really apologize for the mistake that I really didn't want, I will be back in the club on January 4 2024), but I am ready to resign from the community curator team if this mistake is unforgivable.
Previously I had also planned to buy Steem to return the Steem that I had transferred out to do a powerup, apparently I haven't been able to until now.

Wooo amigo estos pequeños desequilibrios hacen perder oportunidades pero la salud es primero, ojalá te recuperes pronto y cuando te suceda algo parecido intenta hacer algún informe para poner al tanto a los curadores sobretodo si ya habías hecho una postulación, ellos entenderían el asunto sin la necesidad de que se malinterprete la situación .
Saludos y que la recuperación te llegue pronto.
Maybe let your fellow team members decide if they are okay for you to be on the team?
To compensate you could ensure that you are not set as a beneficiary on the team posts for the first week.
cc @eliany @karianaporras @suboohi
I thanked him and accepted the compensation with pleasure. Once again I apologize to the Steemit Team, team 3 and all steemian for this inconvenience.
I think we agree to include him, since he did not turn off his account, he left the club because of his health and when the team period starts in January he will be in the club again, so I welcome him back.
Thank you very much @karianaporras and Team 3 friends for this warm welcome, forgive me for this inconvenience.
I'm agree to include him in our team and will follow the instructions that you're giving for week 1
Thank you @suboohi
It would be interesting to work with him again, and we would apply your suggestion about the beneficiary, thank you.
Thank you @eliany
Sometimes there are things and situations that are out of our hands, in this case, what decision would you make? We would like to know so that we can start with our work.
I accept this opportunity. Thanks @karianaporras and congratulations to all selected members of team 3
I accept the role, I'm grateful for the opportunity congratulations to you as well.
