I rearranged my office. The old setup was for two people. Now it's just me I needed a more productive workspace. My desktop background is from Dancing Under The Sea, I found her while curating with @mack-bot a couple of days ago.

Spaminator

I'm still involved with @spaminator though @guiltyparties is leading the community project. I've gone back to the beginning with my love of data diving. Using Excel & @hivesql I'm currently analyzing ways to uncover comment farmers. Seems they can't be happy just farming Steemit.

Somethings never change.

Mack-bot

A few weeks ago I started manually curating with @mack-bot. You'll find the announcement here: Announcing @Mack-bot manual Curation.

As part of this curation project, I will be looking at the very first posts of new community members. I need to create some copypasta comments. There are some of the same types of posts seen by new users on Steemit. 90% range from totally clueless to downright spammy. I'd like to discourage spam & scam while pointing others in the right direction. I'm also hoping the other 10% will benefit from early curation that may lead to increased community retention & participation.

Hive.Blue

New account creation service provided by @guiltyparties. You'll find more information about it here: Hive.Blue: Account Creation. The process has been a bit slow but I am making some changes to the back end, that once implemented, will drastically speed up the process. It will also reduce the number of submissions that already have accounts.
