Steemhunt has a great amount of curation power to give credit to great hunts.

If you have had a chance to do a hunt and had some questions check out their new guidelines below which have been not to say striped down but they have been created to allow more versatile products and hunts not to be so strict, and allow every one to submit amazing products.

Steemhunt Posting Guidelines

Steemhunt is a ranking community where product enthusiasts (a.k.a. hunters) share/upvote cool new products, discuss them with their deep knowledge, and get rewards for their contributions.

To maintain a fair/healthy community, we run moderators who review all hunting posts. Please follow these guidelines when making a post. If your post fails to follow these guidelines, it may be excluded from the ranking by the moderators.

1. Language - English Only

Steemhunt runs a single ranking board globally, so please post and comment in English. Also, the product website should be written in English. If the website offers multiple languages, please use the English page for Steemhunt.

2. Types of Products to Post

Steemhunt generally covers unique IT or hardware products, including:

2-1. Web services
2-2. Mobile apps
2-3. API, IT solutions, bots, open sources or other types of software
2-4. Tech gadgets, hardware, IoT/connected/wearable devices
2-5. Games
2-6. Innovative Engineering/Design Products (It may cover non-tech products that have been invented based on high-level engineering/design approach to solve a major problem)

3. Product Link

We only accept these four product links (Your post will be delisted if you include other websites than those listed below):

3-1. Official product website
3-2. Major app store link (AppStore, PlayStore, etc)
3-3. Crowdfunding sites (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc)
3-4. Github, Bitbucket repositories for open source projects

Also, the product link MUST be activated properly. If the link is broken or does not work properly, your hunt will be delisted.

4. Plagiarism and Copyright

Write a short description and hunter’s comment with your own words. Do not copy and paste from the product’s website or other sites. You can however quote some content from a site, but you must use quotation marks and cite the source properly.

5. Quality of the Post

Steemhunt is a “product hunting” site, not a writing curation site. We have a certain format that all hunters should follow when posting a product in order to make a fair/effective ranking chart. Please follow the directions below:

5-1. The field “name of product” should ONLY contain the official name of the product.
5-2. Do not duplicate the product name or use any non-product-specific words in the field “short description.”
5-3. Do not attach non-related screenshot images or videos.
5-4. Do not use low quality product images.
5-5. Do not share any scams, highly suspicious cryptocurrency/fin-tech, or illegal products.
5-6. Do not share porn or anything under the #nsfw category.

6. No Duplication Allowed

Steemhunt does not allow the same product to be posted twice. The website automatically checks the URL, but it is still your responsibility to check that the product has not been posted previously. If your product has already been featured from the same brand/maker, the duplication is allowed only when the product is a newer model (V2) or has been majorly updated from the original one.

7. Games

There are countless games worldwide, and many of them have narrow target customers. If we accept all new games in Steemhunt, our ranking board may be dominated by games. So, Steemhunt will ONLY accept games that have their own website. Please note if you use any app store or game platform (e.g. Steam) URL on the game product link, your hunt will be delisted.

Moderation

All hunts posted on Steemhunt.com are verified by Steemhunt moderators first. Once our moderators check that your hunt meets all the criteria in the posting guidelines, your hunt will be approved and considered for the ranking competition and @steemhunt's upvote.

Your post will be hidden by the moderators if it does not meet the posting guidelines, in which case your hunt will be delisted from the ranking board. Due to time constraints, posts may not be processed before the cutoff time. In this case, your post will automatically roll over to the next day's competition and will be verified that day. Also, the moderator may ask you to edit/change some of the content. If you don't respond within 24 hours, your post will be hidden permanently.

Please note that our moderators are human, so they may make mistakes/errors during the moderation process. If you have query, please join our Discord Group and request to re-review in the #moderation-errors channel. These posting guidelines were updated on July 26, 2018.
