Exploring the Steemitverse looking for gems.
Our goal is to curate better and with clear transparency.
These rules are to be followed by the curators that have been selected for this project. Curators are participating on an at-will basis.
It is an OCD curator’s responsibility to read and follow these rules. However, these are not the only reasons that a curator can be removed from this project.
OCD curators will be held to a higher standard of ethical voting behavior.
Only OCD curators are to be granted entry into this server. Keep in mind that direct messages (to curators) is NOT a best practice and can in the long run cause harm to your ability to be seen by those that put effort into voting.
All Channels
No one is to discuss their own posts. It is fine to discuss ideas and things, but not a single person should be asking or saying upvoted (and any other similar words from the Steemitverse).
Do not link your own posts.
Remember that we are here to grow Steemit and encourage others.
This is not about us.
General
No links in this room.
Only conversation about the growth of the community.
Announcements
Only announcements that benefit the community that we are assisting.
No discussion in this room – this way no one misses a recent announcement.
An announcement could be a found scam or fraud (just an example).
Curation
Once every 24 hours, a curator should place one (1) nomination in this channel.
Vote only once, but using the upvote emoji.
Do not vote on your own nomination.
Mention the Genre of post in the comment just before pasting the link.
Propositions
This room is only for ideas to benefit or rule changes that should be presented for consideration of Acidyo.
Extra-Curation
This room is for links to non-nominations, but maybe you found an amazing project being done by an older account that deserves everyone’s love and attention.
Rules
This room is for rule suggestions and reminders before a curator is removed from the project.
These are important rules that must be adhered to while voting and picking nominations for the compilation post.
Finding Bad Content
You can help the author grow by leaving a comment or ideas to help their content, even if you will not be voting on it.
However, if it is plagiarism, stolen images, copy pasta, etc.
• DO NOT FLAG
• Go to Steemit.Chat: the channel is steemitabuse and report the findings
YouTube videos are not considered stolen as of now, even without original content.
Tracking
Bitrix24 is not a requirement, but if you are looking to be make an impact on the Steemitverse, this is a tool to use.
Bitrix24 is a fully functional CRM software (even at the free level). I use this to track folks that I find – the good and the bad. This is a great way to track contests and other types of Steemitverse activities.
Voting Properly
Self Voting
• Twice per day, on posts – maximum, but this is highly discouraged
• Not on your own comments
• Not on your own replies
If you get flagged, come to the room and we will review the event for further assistance.
Voting power – 80 % or higher as much as possible.
Below 70% is acceptable.
However, below 60% constantly, you will be removed from OCD.
Being a part of this project and a voting trail are not in your best interest as you risk falling below the required voting power.
