• Added Badge of Originality art and post link

• Edited "To the aspiring Curie curator" section to encourage commenting on posts, and to encourage non art/music/photography/travel posts

Who or what is @humanbot?

@humanbot is an extension of @carlgnash; in a nutshell, the content review services that @carlgnash has previously offered on his blog are moving here. Currently @carlgnash is the only voice of @humanbot, although eventually the plan is to bring in some additional trusted reviewers of content to help process submissions to the link drop.

What is the Curator Incubator and Link Drop?

This is a place for aspiring curators and anyone who wants to help an undervalued post be seen by more eyes. Drop links in the comments to good posts (original content only please, no copy pasta) by undervalued authors. @humanbot (currently just @carlgnash) will review every link dropped here and determine if it is original content. "Good posts by undervalued authors" is purposefully not defined here, this is open to interpretation to a certain extent and any submission of original content by another author is welcome.

• Original content authors will receive a @humanbot follow and either a @humanbot upvote or a @carlgnash upvote (whichever is worth more at the time of voting) on the post and a Badge of Originality certifying that the post has been manually determined to be original work. Read more about the Badge of Originality here.
  
  
  
• Good original content by undervalued authors (totally subjective determination here) will also receive an @r-bot upvote.
• Really awesome original content by undervalued authors (again totally subjective) will be resteemed by @humanbot and possibly @carlgnash.

Please do not drop links to your own posts here

This is not a space for self promotion. Dropping a link to your own post in the comments is a violation of the totally non-binding terms of service and may result in an alien spacecraft visiting your domicile and testing out the new transmogrification ray... but at the very least your post will be ignored.

To the aspiring @curie curators

@carlgnash is a curator for @curie. Let me speak in the first person here for a second as @carlgnash. I have achieved top curator status for @curie the past two weeks and have every intention of doing so to the best of my ability in future weeks as well. Yes, this does mean that I can recommend curators to @curie any week that I was top curator the previous week. No, this does not mean you should DM me or otherwise harass me about nominating you. This post is the official channel for you to impress me with your curation ability. You can do this in several ways:

• First, do not drop me links to your own posts or DM me about a curator nomination unless I specifically tell you to DM me. If you fail to follow these instructions, you will be instantly and forevermore blacklisted from future @curie nomination by me.
• Drop me links to posts that you think are truly exceptional here in the comments so I can get a feel for your curation style, what you are looking for and what your idea of exceptional is. You do not have to stick to the @curie guidelines - I am more interested in getting a feel for what kind of content you think is exceptional.
• Bonus points if you submit good original posts outside of the fields of art/music/photography/travel blogging. It is harder to find good original content in areas like gaming, science, health, etc. There is a lot of copy pasta and it is often much more difficult to tell with those kinds of posts if it is plagiarism. Prove to me you can identify quality original content in tags like this!
• Read through the posts that are left here in the comments by other users and tell me in the comments here if you think any are exceptional, and if so, why you feel that way. Please do not go through the comments here and trash submissions, telling me why you think they suck. Only reply to a post submitted by someone else in the comments here if you think it is an awesome post, and in that case, please say why you feel this way.
• I encourage you to leave good thoughtful comments in response to posts that you find through the incubator. As I work my way through submissions you will earn bonus points if I see you have been actively engaged in commenting.
• Check posts that are submitted here for plagiarism. If you can prove that a post submitted here for review is plagiarized, please leave any proof you have (link to the original content) here in the comments. A big part of being a @curie curator is being able to detect plagiarized content. Prove to me that you have a talent for this and you are ahead of the game.

Cheers - @humanbot / @carlgnash

Let the link dropping commence!
