RE: MAP Trail Curation Contest - Delegated SP and Free Upvotes - Week 1
I think you could say I'm a curator also… but in a different way than what you describe…
The 200SP would be welcome of course, but right now I'm more in search of visibility… just take a look at my feed and tell me what you think about my project.
You pose an interesting dilemma. I've looked at the project and is essentially curating users rather than posts. Do you reject many requests to be in the directory?
Untill now...none. But that's because I didn't receive any :-)
The listings you see are all found by me in my daily currating rounds. I try to find accounts with a certain level of quality and interaction with others. No spammers… and a minimum of 100 posts. Soon I will also implement a mechanism to get unactive accounts out of the list... just have to think about an exact timeframe... 30 or 60 or 90 days… still have to work out that question (any idea's are welcome...). That way the directory will result in an overview of active users/posters.
In the longer run I will have to find other curators as you can't be a specialist in all disciplines. I do like arts, photography and writing… but don't have enough knowlegde to determine good posters in, for example, science, sports,...
As your work is cumulative (the directory) rather than discrete curation posts, you may find other curators useful to fill in those topics you are less comfortable with, eg., for science look at @steemstem.
As for inactive accounts, I'd set it at 90 days - summer holidays can be quite long and you want to avoid too many re-activations.
activation and de-activations will be automatic... but yes indeed, I was also thinking about 90 days…
And @steemstem is already listed… so are you BTW ;-) but it's more a question of personal interest... it's easier to curate things you have a feeling for…
Anyway, thanks for reacting!
