At some point most of you have probably found yourself in a situation, when after voting on Steemit you have noticed that post is older than seven days. You have spent your voting power, user did not get the rewards and you did not get your curation rewards either. The reward value was transferred back to the rewards pool. 

While posts on Steemit are rated by the value they receive it makes sense as good posts even after 7 seven days  will appear higher in the feed and will receive more exposure and this is convenient for people who are searching for useful information (provided these are really good quality posts and not some users upvoting each other with meaningless content).

On [BeScouted](www.bescouted.com) content is sorted by total number of impressions with a mathematical algorithm taking into account decay  overt time in order to show users the most popular and relevant content. 

<center><h4>With the introduction of new functionality of **Categories** and **Search by Tags and Keywords** there will be situations when content older than seven days will be displayed in search results which yet has not been upvoted by you.</h4></center> 

<center><h2>Voting on such a post WILL NOT reduce your voting power and such a vote will not be sent to Steemit to prevent usage of your voting power with missing curation rewards.</h2></center>

User will still get his popularity points which most probably will be used and converted to BeScotued SMT token at the time of release in a form of airdrop. So sharing your content to Steemit on BeScouted today has several benefits:

1. You will get increased exposure through better content discovery as your posts can be upvoted on  [BeScouted](www.bescouted.com) and [Steemit](www.steemit).
