RE: Day 9 - @pifc's Curation Contest Guest Judge's Role
Nicely done @minnowbuilder. Actually reading helps immensely LOL, but I've seen so many, there is no way someone read it. Comments should incorporate a little bit about what the post was about or your feelings on it. (IMO) This is all from a general standpoint. I know I don't like it when some comments. Nice post, especially since I encourage interaction.
I can only speak for myself since my VP is pfft right now. I try to upvote everyone at 100%. 50% of .01 is still dust. I feel the upvote backs up my words.
What I don't like and I don't want to touch are solo pictures. Ones I cannot tell who took it. Ones where is says La-La Bay and that's it. If you're taking pictures comment on them. If you want examples ask away, there are several people I like.
Art is a little different. I love it when you see a process. Yet I know sometimes you enter a zen place and documenting the process just escapes you. I do give a little leeway. Mostly, tell me what motivated you? Or include a poem or quotation to go along with it. While it's usually not enough to meet a lot of curation standards, due to length. Just that little bit is usually enough to get me to look more deeply at it.
@viking-ventures did a post today How to Get Curated about how she curates and suggestions I'd suggest give this a once over for both a posting perspective and for a curating perspective. It's great advice for ALL of us. Just because some of us have been around for 1yr, 6mos, 3mos doesn't mean we're 100% a 100% of the time.
I hope this helps ✨
Great information to add to the post. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts also.
Totally agree on not adjusting the vote down to 0.01 (or less!) I think the best way to manage the voting is to lower the percentage until you're just comfortably at 0.02 (or whatever your goal is) - so you're still giving good votes, but also managing your VP a bit better.
Totally agree with all your points - and I'm glad that you're sharing it onward. I do plan to follow up this post with ones about .... say... top 5 ways to not get curated by me... and top 10 ways to get curated by me...
I definitely think that if others know what is looked at in curating it should help them with better content, therefore help with more visibility. Especially with @pifc and possibly @asapers
I like those idea. To me its a good incentive.
