Teams will be allocated one of the @steemcurator0x accounts with approximately 700K SP. The Steem Atlas team (@pennsif) will be given the @steemcurator03 account with 1.25 Million SP. **Please would one person from each team confirm acceptance in a comment below and include their contact details (Discord / Telegram).** Then would the other members of each team add their acceptance to their respective starter comment along with their contact details (Discord / Telegram). We will then be in touch to provide the keys for the accounts. --- --- ### Curation Guidelines

The Steem Atlas and the Steem Retrogames teams will be voting on posts connected with their respective projects. **The other teams are free to vote on any posts except the homework posts for the Teaching Teams.** These are well covered by steemcurator01/02 and so we would like Community Curators to use all their voting power on other non-Learning Challenge posts. The only other restrictions are that posts should not be plagiarized or AI generated, and images should be copyright free. We also strongly encourage teams to look beyond communities. There are many good posts that are outside of any communities - just directly on people’s personal blogs. **Teams should seek out good posts everywhere - both within communities, and outside of communities.** --- Voting on comments should also be continued. Good comments can be as interesting and as valuable as good posts. We want good comments that add value to a post to be encouraged and rewarded. --- The @steemcurator accounts should only be used for voting and commenting. They should not be used for downvoting or making posts. A comment should be left on each post voted to let the author know the post has been supported by the curation team - **and please include which member of the team selected the post**. --- --- ### How the Curation Teams will be rewarded

Every day the teams will be allowed to allocate one full vote to a team member’s post - ideally in rotation. **In total therefore no more than 10% of the account’s voting power should be used on team members each week.** Additionally each week one member should post a report for the team in the [Steem POD community](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-166405) with a list of their top **7** posts, with a brief note of why each post was chosen. These weekly report posts should set beneficiaries to be shared with other members of the team. The posts will be voted by @steemcurator01. **We strongly encourage teams to ensure all members review and agree on the merits of the selected posts of the week as poor choices may influence the reward given to the weekly report by @steemcurator01.** --- --- With the start of the support for games and apps February will be a particularly interesting month for the Community Curators. The development of new apps and games is very important for the platform, so we very much hope the community will use the opportunity in February to get to know both Steem Atlas and Steem Retrogames. Thank you _The Steemit Team_
