Great news! I have been whitelisted for a little bit now and used @ocdb a couple times but the whole bid bot controversy made me nervous.
I even got some down votes one time when you all manually curated one of my posts because someone was down voting anything you all upvoted as part of their anti bid bot campaign. In this case I chatted with the person and they removed their downvote.
But moments like that made me nervous about using @ocdb for my posts.
So I'm very happy you all are switching to manual curators and I hope my posts will get an occasional upvote from you all! :)
