Well that said, regardless of what we talk, I think there are rules, so lets try to follow the rules and Steem on

As for @patjewell, I don't see any reason why you had to mention her as an example. Please take time and go through her account and evaluate how committed she has been to this platform ever since returning back.

She doesn't recieve upvotes because she is a curator. She is in #club100, she is very hardworking, a good content creator, she is a role model for us all because of how creative she is.

Taking an example from the engagement challenge season1... Do you know how often she was always nominated as one of the winners?? Do you know that she has a been a weekly winner on 2 occasions?, she stand high chances of becoming a monthly winner as we speak.. This simply implies that she haven't built her reputation only as a curator for she has work continually to deserve where she is today. So please let's applaud her. Her reputation is just okay for her hardwork here on steemit. I am happy I have been able to learn a lot from this great woman and I can say she has Contributed to my growth here on steemit alot

However, I don't think is becoming a Curator that someone can be able to build his/her reputation. This curator application started 3 months ago and people have been building their reputation even without being a curator. So let's just play our part and be consistent, be patient, create quality content, remain visible, create audience and most of all constantly powerup. For this are few things that can make us to build our reputation even without being a curator
