## New Curation process

- [In my previous post, I talked about supporting Hive community members by sending them Hive to their wallet](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@sagarkothari88/186-hive-power-as-gift-month-along-with-upvotes-for-31-communities)
- With this post, I'll explain the new curation process.


## I've created a discord bot

- Please join this discord server - https://discord.gg/5FZZqrz6wj
- Here I've added over 61 communities.
- Verified Curators & Community moderators can join the discord server
- Once they've joined, they can start curating for the community of their choice.

## Unfollowing all the curation trails

- Yes. I've unfollowed all the curation trails at the moment.
- Curation trails have couple of disadvantages.
- If a curation trail account, upvotes self content, curation-trail blindly follows & upvote.
- If a curation trails keep upvoting same author over & over, curation-trail blindly follows & upvote.
- And these are just 2 examples. What if I want to add more checks?
- This is only possible by designing a custom curation method based on checks needed.


## Which 61 Communities? Is it max?

- I'm planning to add more and more communities.
- So far, I've added 61 communities as listed below.

## Who has joined so far?

- So far there are approx 50+ members in the discord
- I've added following 21 curators.
- @bhattg, @melinda010100, @steemflow, @sirenahippie, @sayee, @idea-make-rich, @anujadhao, @pravesh0, @alokkumar121, @luckyali, @mysteriousroad, @takeru255, @thekittygirl, @edwing357, @vickoly, @flaxz, @reeta0119, @iamraincrystal, @intishar, @adalath
- I ask existing added curators & those who are reading this post to join the discord server
- I also request to re-blog for better reach.

## How to check my voting manabar?

- In the discord server, you can keep an eye on the status of the bot.
- It shows my account (@sagarkothari88)'s current voting manabar.
- It refreshes every minute.

![Discord-bot-status](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23tkhyUr5rxbmYetRiVJA9RduT4T1uc5ZV2zbk6T9i6WkVjHv3StrzLn97azTKjHp6VKf.png)

## How to get access for curation?

- After joining the Discord server, you would find a text-channel named `#intro-for-curation`
- Please introduce yourself there as a curator.
- Provide your hive-username & the list of communities in which you may want to curate.
- @bhattg & I'll take care of the rest. We'll add you to right channels for curation.
- NOTE: You must be either a moderator of the community OR approved curator of the community.
- Only after that, you'll be allowed to curate for that community.

![intro-for-curation](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23tRxSKK5oRtsK4jhNsYaSqwpKgdkPUAfGPEb17JJc1Abbz48fc6f4oEZksmrcBciapd6.png)

## How to curate?

- You can use the Discord-bot-command to curate for your community.
- As indicated below, use `/upvote-hive` command
- Provide link & set the upvote weight
- Be responsible & careful when setting the upvote weight

![Provide link and set vote weight](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23t797uHrNVEyVY5PnKReyTsfetFWy4Xx4q7CmNb7iqUopspsczNFz4VMrSXpuzfueV6P.png)

## Rules for curation

- Please don't curate your own post
- Please don't curate each-other's post
- Please don't curate the post which is related to curation-report
- Please don't curate AI generated Posts
- Please perform all necessary checks for a post before curating it (e.g. Plagiarism check, Duplicate check etc. )
- As a community moderator OR a community approved curator, I assume that curators are being responsible.

## How does a curator gets rewarded?

- There is an optional option - `reply_type` in discord bot command.
- By default, it is set to small-reply.
- `No Reply` adds no reply after upvoting.

![Reply type](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23t79QNZmruYPys4JWSZMJJqBbEhZwbf8o9EWywgaHZonfCYpbKj5NC6TyRnxYtHj2ki6.png)

- `Small Reply` adds a reply to the post after upvote.
- Any upvote based reward received on the comment, are given back to community & curator.

![Rewards](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sagarkothari88/23tGZrJgfU9ycrmoGPr7i1S3ogcRQdFSoqQgK77y9rw1K4n6kcQxHGgBWgSmiWtmn7Y2Z.png)

## What's next?

- I am focusing on rewarding curators, community accounts & content creators
- In order to do that, I'm thinking of daily curation post.
- This daily curation post will have up-to-8 beneficiaries
- 4 curator's account & 4 community accounts.
- All of the rewards received on those post will benefit them.

## Any other ideas for motivating curators?

- Curators find a good post & motivates content creators.
- So far above listed ideas, I've found useful so far to reward curators.
- But people rarely upvotes a comment. Also, upvote rewards on a comment are very low.
- I'm open to suggestions. If you've any idea regarding rewarding the curators, please do share in the comment section.


Dear Community Moderators & Members,
