OSD - Helping empower Steem's future middle class
To read about all of that, you can read the official announcement and if you want to read even more about it, you can check out @acidyo´s thoughts on the project.
The selection process
Every Sunday we take a break from curating in @ocd, and we also use that day to whitelist to @ocdb all the curated authors during the week.
Out of these 60 curated authors, we will pick 5 of them who have under 500 SP, are not powering down, post at least 2-3 times a week and engage in other people´s content.
We will delegate to these 5 people enough SP to get them to 500 SP so they are able to use the voting slider.
If any given sunday there are not enough authors who fill this criteria, we will manually select plankton users from a batch that the @ocd curators came up with through a nomination process, and we will instead delegate to them.
Discord channel
We have a specific OSD channel in the OCD discord server that is private, this is to avoid spam from other users and for us to be constantly in touch with the OSD Delegatees.
On this channel we will answer any question these recently created minnow users may have, advice them on posting behaviour and curation process and to have an overall semi-control of the direction of project.
As you can read in the official announcement, we will be curating these user's posts, both with the @ocd-witness accounts and with @aicdyo's and my account. This means that the @osd'ers posts should follow certain Parameters, so quality, frequency and way of posting will be discussed on this channel, not as an enforcement but more as an advice type of conversation.
Welcome message
As I said, as the OSD channel will be private and only OSD members and OCD moderators will be able to access it, for transparency reasons I'll post here the welcome message, a message that every OSD member will read when they join the channel:
Hello and welcome to OSD! Congratulations on getting your Steem Power delegation. As you may have noticed, you now have 500 SP and now you are able to use your voting slider.
Instead of only being able to give 10 votes per day, this slider feature will allow you to vote on more posts every day and your engagement on the platform will be maximized. We reccomend that at these prices, you cast 50% votes on the posts you like, but the weight of the votes it's completely up to you, just don't forget to leave comments on the posts you liked!
Your posts will be manually curated by part of the @ocd team, so don't bother on selfvoting, it's better to spread that love around and to build your audience and make friends, a good way to do it is by voting on other people's content.
The purpose of OSD is to help you reach 500 Steem Power on your own, so please keep posting amazing and high quality content like the one you got curated by @ocd so we can manually curate it with @ocd-witness, @acidyo and @anomadsoul's account :)
Once you reach 500 SP on your own, we will pull the remaining amount of delegation we gave you, but you will still have your OSD role on our discord channel and you will still be able to chat here, we highly encourage you to make friends here and to be active here, after all, all of these users share one thing: you are all amazing content creators.
As part of OSD, you are on the whitelist and thus, you are able to use @ocdb to boost your posts, just remember to use it only on high quality posts!
If you have any questions, please read the official announcement and check out @acidyo´s thoughts on the project. If you still have questions then please ask them here, we will answer them as soon as possible :)
Welcome again and congrats on the slider!
The Steem Power used for OSD and its minnow members comes out from @ocd-witness, so if you like this project and what it stands for, feel free to vote for @ocd-witness here.
If you have no idea what witnesses are for and who you should vote but you trust my judgement and criteria, set me as witness proxy here
Are accepting Delegations? If so, what’s the reward?

There is no way to not accept a delegation on Steem.

That is great. What still confused me is how can someone be White listed into ocd
There is periodically a review process that comes from a member of the community recommending an account which then goes through a review. While there is no formal application process, continue engagement and creating content and it will eventually come, particularly these days with less activity.

99% of the whitelist consists of OCD curated authors. The other 1% comes from manual whitelisting from suggestions made in previousnomination posts. Currently we are only whitelisting authors curated by OCD. Make sure to follow the account for the next whitelist nomination announcement.
You got a 45.50% upvote from @ocdb courtesy of @anomadsoul! :)
@ocdb is a non-profit bidbot for whitelisted Steemians, current max bid is 30 SBD and the equivalent amount in STEEM.
Check our website https://thegoodwhales.io/ for the whitelist, queue and delegation info. Join our Discord channel for more information.
If you like what @ocd does, consider voting for ocd-witness through SteemConnect or on the Steemit Witnesses page. :)
I recently got whitelisted on @ocd thanks to @soyrosa :) It's so great to see how people-oriented this service is. With other bots that offer the same services, the risk is just too damn high. High enough that I once lost some of my STEEM when trying one out.
@ocd is way more safer since it doesn't pocket the money but instead gives it back to the community. Much love to the people behind its idea <3 You guys made a great tool :)
Seriously , I was not aware of OSD untill I came across this post. Wish such services were been available during my days to help me understand the platform better, but now this is such a great growth curve for so many new minnows....
