The #CurateMe "New" list for today: 5/27/18 - Highlighting posts that have not been boosted!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

This is the "NEW" list for all posts that have requested curation by calling on either @curateme or #curateme and have also been verified NOT to be using bidbots to bid up the post.

COMING SOON -- This logic is not yet completed.

How does #curateme work?

  • To nominate your post for inclusion in this list, simply add the text #curateme or mention @curateme in your post.
  • To nominate another Steemian's post, simply reply to the post with the same #curateme or @curateme in the comment.
  • Currently, only 25 articles will be included in each @curateme blog post. Later there may be multiple posts per day.
  • If you are nominated to the list and accepted, you will receive an upvote from multiple accounts that have volunteered their VP to this project, in addition to community upvotes of course.
  • It is not necessary to use curateme as one of your five tags.
  • Currently this list is simply being derived from posts using the #nobidbot tag, this is temporary only.
  • The finished list will select posts based on the nomination score, which is the product of the number of nominations multiplied by the grade of the nominator.

What are the qualifications to become a nominator?

  • A nominator cannot have used bidbots on their posts in the last 30 days.
  • A nominator must have posted within the last 60 days.
  • A nominator must not delegate to a bidbot or vote seller.
  • A nominator cannot have downvoted @transparencybot in the last 30 days.

What stops junk from being nominated and/or accepted.

  • Nominators are graded by past performance and also current metrics.
  • Each time a nominator recommends an article for inclusion in this list, they receive a grade based on the number of votes that article receives from others that meet the qualifications of a nominator (even if they are not a nominator).
  • If a nominator continues to nominate posts that receive little or no other upvotes, then their nominations will no longer be accepted.

What type of votes are analyzed to grade nominators and post performance.

  • Voters must meet the same qualifications as a nominator. (ie, no bots and must be active).
  • SP and Reputation are not a factors in vote grading.

A more detailed introduction post will be created for @curateme once this project is ready to fly!

All information was obtained programmatically via @SteemSQL. No manual curation has been applied to this list YET!

AGAIN WE ARE JUST TESTING FORMATTING OPTIONS AT THIS TIME!


A few notes. The "Self Votes" column is a count of upvotes from the author either directly via the authors account and ALSO any upvotes from other accounts that the author created.

For instance, byColeman may show two upvotes on some posts if byColeman updated the account via byColeman and also via a 2nd account created and controlled by byColeman.

Yes, I really do believe in transparency! Each voter is therefore able to make an informed decision as to whether it is OK or not to do this, and then to what level and then of course is the post still worthy of an upvote?

I may add the $value of self-upvotes soon.

I believe the rest of the report is pretty much self explanatory.

This list will be updated automatically several times per day once this project goes live.

OK, here is the "Just Testing" list. There are a lot of formatting issues I am still working on!!

Currently sorted by nomination score, date. Later, we will add sub-categories.

The bees are back! There's no shortage of pollinators around our homestead and we do what we can to make this a welcoming & safe place. When they come out of hiding and get to work in the garden, it brings a sense of optimism and promise for the coming harvests. I've really taken an interest in bees and make sure that we provide the local pollinators with a safe food source. We are without question, a bee friendly homestead. Absolutely no chemicals are used in our gardens, not even organic approved ones. In addition to this we also offer safe habitats around the gardens and plenty of water s

Veer away in fear he might somehow see you, the turmoil and pain hidden behind that mask.

To be honest Steemit often features in my mind as something I am grateful for every day. I spend quite a bit of my time on here and in so many ways I have gained so much since joining late last year. Sure, there are a few things that dont sit right with me around here but I always choose to look at the positive in my life. I often think of my journey on this platform as a form of therapy for me. When I joined I was petrified to post anything. I would literally close my eyes every time I pushed the post button. I was also scared to comment on peoples posts.

When something feels good, we are vibrating in harmony with it. We have conversations with people and if we leave feeling good, the conversation, and most likely the person we were talking with, were vibrating at a similar frequency as we were. Sometimes we are in the mood for a certain song, and other times the same song doesnt nothing for us, its all about what frequency we are tuned to. Sometimes an idea sounds great and a few weeks later when we think about it again, we think its nonsensical. This all depends on how we are vibrating at the moment.

Bible verse O give thanks unto theLord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 107:1 (KJV) The kind of knowledge you have about God determines how you relate to Him. The Psalmist knew one thing about God; that God is good and his mercy endures forever. Apparently, he has been enjoying the goodness and mercy of God so he always gives him thanks and encourages everyone to give God thanks. Dear beloved, the question is, are you enjoying the goodness and mercy of God? If you are alive, it is by His goodness and mercy; if you have been forgiven your sins, it is by His goodnes

It is fun to write about using psychedelics. Tripping comes with all sorts of exciting things. Flowing and colorful visuals manifest behind closed eyes. Walls breath, objects melt, and the stars dance in the sky. Strange and new thoughts make themselves known to the user and meaningful revelations are born out of them. The things one carries back from his or her psychedelic journey may not have the romanticism attached to them as all those other parts of psychedelic culture but they are equally as important as the trip itself. These treasures of the psychedelic world are far more lasting and h

Someone was a little trigger happy in downvoting a curation effort. Really makes you wonder if it is actually about spam or protecting the old juice machine. And personal attacks? So childish.

I'm pretty sad about the transparency bot, but also after chatting with a few people that reacted negatively towards the bot I could also see their angle about it being spam. The bid bot awareness certainly needs to spread, but we can do it the old fashioned way too.

Wow, I saw your resteem from the transparencybot in my feed and came to thank you for all you do to make the site grow. I wasn't expecting to find myself featured as I looked through your list.

Thank you for your kindness to others, and choosing to be a leader. As more grow to take up that role, this site can only grow stronger.

Thank you, that is very kind of you.. I get a lot more complaints than praise lately as rewards pool abusers can get pretty ugly and personal.

Yes, I am very excited about @curateme, I think it could really take off and find some top notch material, fully curated the old fashion way!

Please feel free to reply to any posts you find worth adding to this list .. simply mention #curateme or @curateme in your reply, this bot will do the rest. I am still working on the final nomination calculations, but much of it is now in place.
