Our curation guild better known as OCD, striving for transparency above everything, has a peculiar way of selecting which posts are underrated and should be rewarded with a bit more than the few SBD they have pending. It Is a process created to avoid favoritism towards certain authors, specific tags or any subject in particular.
The process is simple:
With 20 curators, it is easy for us to browse almost every tag and find hidden gems. If the post we found is written by an author with no more than 6 months on Steemit and his/her average rewards are below double digits, then said post is eligible to be nominated.
At the end of the day, we´ll have between 15-20 posts nominated for curation on our discord chat, then each curator reads all of the posts nominated and chooses two of them. The 10 posts with more internal votes are featured on our Daily Issue, giving the author and the post more visibility, rewards, and a vote from some members of the team, from the account @ocd and from our leader @acidyo.
This translates in total post rewards oscilating $15-$20 without counting the votes the posts may get from our 2,500 followers.
OCD Daily: English Posts
In the last 4 months our curators have nominated for curation more than 1,500 posts and out of those, through the internal voting process we have selected 985 posts from 776 different authors!.
The total rewards generated by all these astonishing posts goes over $18,000 dollars!
We know that all of these rewards are not directly from us, but given that our curators nominate posts that are usually below the $2 dollar mark and the post ends up between $18-$25 in total rewards, the 18k statement is conservative.
Here is a list of all the unique English writing authors OCD has discovered the last 120 days:
Fun fact #1
As the Steemit community grows, OCD keeps adding new curators to our ranks. Did you know that 90% of our new curators, were discovered and rewarded by OCD before they became part of our team?
This is no coincidence, a great content creator can easily spot great content!
OCD International Daily: Different Languages
Even though English is the main language - by far - used on Steemit, it is clear that more and more languages are being used to write posts on a daily basis. In OCD we noticed that and, with the only intention of encouraging these new communities to keep posting, we decided to add to the team an international group of curators to select and reward posts from 6 different languages - so far: Spanish, German, French, Italian, Polish and the recently added Indonesian.
It´s been 5 weeks since we started curating posts from these languages and so far we´ve curated more than 140 posts from 122 unique authors.
The total rewards from these astounding posts goes over $2,200 dollars!
Here is a list of all the unique international authors @ocd has discovered and rewarded:
Fun fact #2
Do not engage on any type of shady maneuvers, like nominating someone in exchange of SBD or things like that. Unless they offer food, if that´s the case, then take the bribe.
Just kidding. About the food part. The warning about taking any type of bribe is as serious as it gets and any kind of misbehavior results in immediate release of the curator from the guild.As I said, every once in a while @ocd opens the door for new curators. Every time a new curator joins our ranks, the first warning we give them is:
OCD Resteem
Every @ocd compilation post - the English and the international one - uses the tag #ocd, in there you can find every comp we´ve made for the past seven days. But there is also another tag in the @ocd universe…
#ocd-resteem
This tag is used by authors who want to be resteemed by the @ocd account – and sometimes from some of our members – and to also get some votes from our curators. Each day, from the tens of posts using the tag, we choose 3 posts using the #ocd-resteem tag and, obviously we resteem it. After that, we vote on it with the @ocd account and then @acidyo votes on the post.
This initiative started 50 days ago and so far we´ve resteemed more than 150 posts from 139 unique authors.
The total rewards from these amazing posts goes over $2,300 dollars!
Here is a list of all the unique authors that used the #ocd-resteem tag and got selected by our curators:

Shout out to all of my fellow @OCD Curators and @Acidyo! Thanks for being such great members of the Steemit Community! To all of the content creators out there, keep posting and creating, you never know when you may be nominated by a curator!
We should definitely do another post A-la-Cem describing every curator :P
I'm more than ecstatic that I got mentioned in this.. I went a little quiet for a bit, but best believe I wanna get my stuff resteemed again. Maybe even be bigger...
Yeah mate, just keep doing that awesome work. If you check out @acidyo´s latest post you´ll see why it will be good if you keep posting quality content. Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks for mentioning me and including my post.
Great that you're working hard to help quality authors - thanks for all you do! :)
This is so awesome! To see people that were nominated on ocd to be 61 rep! Way to go Michelle! I´m so glad you´ve made it this far :)
Thanks! I'm both pleased and amazed to have reached 61!
My main focus is to do all I can to create a better world through energy work and awareness. Thanks again for your support. :)
I´ll make sure to take another trip to your profile then! Always amazing to see fresh ideas with passion behind them! Yup, 61 is quite the achievement especially during these times where we are seeing a lot of new users every day :)
Thank you for wanting to check out my work, most appreciated! & also for your encouragement with the reputation and Steemit.
I hope you have a great weekend! :)
Ohh, thank you for putting me on the list! :)
You are one of our favorites! Of course! I really wish we´d be colleagues now but hey, sooner than you think there´ll be another opening :)
Haha, I am not beating myself over it, if it didn't happen it is not my time yet :) One day, though...
Proud to have been curated by OCD ❤
Proud to be the guild who found your amazing content :)
maybe you will find some hidden ART gems in my profile ;)
I´ll make sure to take a small trip to your blog!
Edit: I have a recomendation, try to add more writing to your posts, the art is amazing but from my own experience, it takes a bit more to get noticed by curation teams or dolphins. Try to wriite a story around the art or perhaps explaining the method you used to achieve it etc. Give it some flavour.
yeah thanks for the mentions guys. means a lot to me blogging here that's for sure.
Yo you are one of the most succesful stories we´ve been honored to see in @ocd. It was great meeting you over Steemfest, I´m a big fan of your work man. Cheers
wow, thank you and yes, super awesome to meet you too. glad you made it to steemfest!
Thank you all for featuring and curating a few of my posts! I’m very thankful for all the support you have shown me and my work!
Hey mate of course, I do remember one or two of your featured posts, indeed your name rings a bell. Keep making this amazing content and it is glad to see you are already on 54 rep, that is not so easy! Thanks for dropping by!

Well... we would love it if a lot of people read the last post from @acidyo and join our initiative, if you like it, delegate SP to it!
