First of it's good to see STEEMSTEM 2.0 back!
I posted this in discord, and just in case it get's lost in the conversation. My 2c is that amongst the "Honor Members" should we consider the concept of Subject experts? Therefore we have posts/complaints being handled by the people most familiar with that subject.
One other issue Honor members could be subject to victimization from people with high SP.
Honor members will do absolutely NO curation, ever (this would cancel all chances for a curie vote). But I'll keep your idea in the back of my head. For now, we'll try to start with the basics. You're more than welcome to apply if you haven't already :)
And about the SP: We already have @reggaemuffin on our team, maybe there will be more one day. We protect our team (if they acted correctly)
Thank you @suesa that sounds great, and I have applied.
That's a pretty interesting idea and would really make things much easier for the mentors. However, I don't know how simple will it be to implement, or will it become another complex task for the management team. The last thing we want is to put more pressure on the management. But I do like this idea tbh.
Actually, that brings up a point. By "Team" scouring posts, does this imply that everyone including Honor members will seek out posts for curation? If so I would expect that will be self regulating in that curators are more likely to pick out posts made in their area of expertise/interest.
From where things stand at this time, no, the honor members will not be seeking out posts for curation. That will be entirely up to the curators.
As suesa said, curation must stay decoupled from engagement. This is also healthy to avoid too much work for a given person :)
Thanks for sharing your ideas! We take everything :)
