^{I had a lot of things on my mind to share in this week's report but now that I have sat down to write, my mind is blank. I think it's ok, it can happen when you are supposed to travel back home but suddenly your car breaks and you don't know how and when you will return home. I shouldn't be blabbing about my personal life in a curation report. Still, I wanted you to know that I'm sitting in a hotel lobby, one eye on the screen and one at the window, desperately waiting for a nod from the mechanic, so forgive me if you feel the report is a little rushed.}

Stats of the Week

I will come straight to the statistical details...

I am beginning to like the numbers because they are kind of an eye-opener and show us how we performed during the week - where we excelled and where we need to work more. Self-assessment is crucial.

This week, we curated a total of 155 posts, 36 comments and 132 unique authors.

^{Speaking of comments, sometimes there are multiple quality comments under one post. Lately, while voting on those comments, I have been leaving a single comment with the record of all the sc-votes instead of posting the template under each comment because too many template comments look spammy and kind of distract the readers from the actual discussion. As you can see below, this approach has been well-received by the author. If you are a sc-curator and also worried about unnecessary spamming, try something like this or feel free to share a better idea with us. (:}
