Curator Changeover 04/10/2022

in #vyb-vcp3 years ago

The VYB Curation Project (VCP) swaps out curators every week to provide a more varied approach to content curation.

Curators have the freedom to vote as they like, with the understanding that all of their outgoing votes will be published in a curation distribution data post on the @vyb.hub account.

Inside this post you'll find:

  • Confirmation of Curator changes for the upcoming week
  • Information about VYB/POB Delegations to Curators
  • Application Process for VCP Curatorship
  • Feedback Prompts for VCP Curators
  • Details about the @vyb.curation trail and how to support
  • VYB Curation Project recent changes




The Curator Changeover


An Aware Curator is someone who knows that the @vyb.curation trail is following behind their vote.

An Unsuspecting Curator is someone who doesn't know they're being followed by the trail.

The previous week's Aware Curators were: @wrestlingdesires, @nevies and @joseph23.
The previous week's Unsuspecting Curators were: @edicted and @oldmans.

Aware Curators received a 5,000 VYB and 5,000 POB delegation for the duration of their curation block. Unsuspecting Curators do not receive delegations.


The new Aware & Unsuspecting Curators have been trail followed by @vyb.curation and delegations have been applied for the upcoming week.

The VCP Distribution Data post containing all of the Aware Curator's outgoing votes will be published from the @vyb.hub account through the upcoming week.


VCP Curator's Choice (Call-to-Action)

VCP Curatorship Application


If you'd like to curate for the VYB Curation Project as an Aware Curator, please answer the questions below and share your answers as a reply to this post.


  1. What is the account username that you'd like to curate from?

  2. What are the main motivations fueling your desire to curate for the VYB Curation Project?

  3. Are you comfortable sharing personal feedback about your efforts during the curation block?

  4. Do you understand that all your outgoing votes will be shared publicly in a VCP Distribution Data post for the duration of your curation block? (example)

  5. Do you have auto-voting or curation trails set up on the account you would like to curate from? If yes, are you happy to remove these so your curation efforts are 100% manual?

  6. Do you understand that abuse through auto-voting as an Aware Curator (including proxy-voting through curation trails) while curating for the VCP during your curation block as a lead curator, will result in your account being blacklisted from curating in the future?

  7. Do you agree that VCP Curatorship Applications with more detail and information about the person behind the account, provide a greater degree of insight for curatorship selection?

  8. If you are selected for VCP Curatorship, are you happy to receive an on-chain comment reply (to one of the latest comments you've published) from a VCP Admin to inform you of the upcoming curation block you'll be curating in? The comment will be at least 7 days in advance to provide flexibility and potential changes.

  9. Are you aware that it's your responsibility to curate manually with 100% freedom while being followed by the @vyb.curation trail? "Over-rewarding" content, upvoting subjective quality and maximally effective/efficient distribution of tokens are all grey areas; guidelines aren't set for curators so these areas of debate can be explored further.

  10. Will you update the VCP Admin and other curators in the Curator Changeover post about any problems that are causing stress and unnecessary pressure to your current circumstances, so that flexibility and support can be provided to make sure your health and wellbeing come first before curating for the VCP?



VCP Feedback Prompt


Feel free to use the prompts below to aid with potential feedback responses to this post (or go rogue and share your experiences in your own style).

The first prompt is for curators who are currently curating; the second is for curators who have previously been curating, and the last prompt is for curators who are looking to curate in the future.


Present:

How are your efforts going so far during your curation block? Are there any issues you are experiencing that require attention from the VCP Admin?

Past:

After reflecting on your previous curation block, is there anything you'd do differently? Have you noticed any issues within the Distribution Data post regarding your outgoing votes or how they're presented? Do you have any suggestions that will help other curators during their curation block?

Future:

Do you have any concerns about curating for the VYB Curation Project? Are there any questions you would like answered by the VCP Admin before submitting your VCP Curatoship Application or before your upcoming curation block, if so, what are they?


Curation Trail Information


All curators currently active are trail followed by the @vyb.curation account at a 50% scaled vote. This means that the votes of the lead curators will be followed by @vyb.curation at half their voting percentage.

ex: VYB Curator upvotes content at 80%. @vyb.curation follows with an upvote at 40%. @vyb.curation trail followers vote at their set percentage in relation to @vyb.curation's upvote.

Here are the current trail followers supporting the curation trail and below the image are some examples of how their votes will be applied after @vyb.curation's upvote.


e.g: VYB Curator upvotes content at 70%. @vyb.curation upvotes content at 35%. friendmoose.pob upvotes content at 35%.

e.g: VYB Curator upvotes content at 40%. @vyb.curation upvotes content at 30%. doziekash upvotes content at 15%.

e.g: VYB Curator upvotes content at 60%. @vyb.curation upvotes content at 30%. funshee upvotes content at 15%.


How do I trail follow?

If you would like to support the VYB Curation Project, follow this link to access the hive.vote curation trail application so you can review the trail. If you have any further questions about the trail, please leave a comment below.


How do I prevent self-voting?

On the hive.vote dashboard, there is a setting that can be set to 'False' to prevent yourself upvoting your own content when trail voting.



VCP Recent Changes


This section is for recent changes to the VYB Curation Project made during the previous week.

  • Due to limited Aware Curator's and submitted applications (zero), requests have been made to current Aware Curators for recommendations. We are hoping to find 6 more curators to further the range of content/communities that are viewed by VCP curation.

  • Aware Curator break period between blocks has been changed to 2 weeks from the previous time of 3 weeks.

She has a great post, and is actively answering questions, and helping people to get started, in most cases without having to buy anything except seeds and other small items from a garden supply store! Well worth reading if you want to save money on food, or live where even a small garden is impossible.

I !LUV this suggestion.
