RE: Curie & Community: An open-invitation for all to be part of our curation works - powered by Streemian

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, that's how the calculation is done internally. However, it is easier to explain the concept of approval rate if broken up separately. We are seeing a lot of curators still submitting indiscriminately - it's important that curators understand that quality and approval rate is top priority.

The actual formula used is -

(Number of posts approved)^2 / (Number of posts submitted - number of posts closed)

[Sometimes we "close" posts without either approving or disapproving if they largely meet the guidelines, but we can't vote on. E.g. posts that had less than $1 pending payout with the curator submitted, but went over by the time it was reviewed. These submissions shouldn't be penalized even if we don't vote on them]

Makes sense. Yeah, that does seem like a better way to explain it. I just found myself thinking "wouldn't squared this divided by something else make more sense.... Oh. Right." :)
