One week ago @sndbox-alpha changed its theme and hands once again! @anomadsoul, @guyfawkes4-20, @martibis and @fingersik are in control for the upcoming month and until then, we will be curating Writing, Literature & Philosophy. The purpose of this post is to introduce the curation trail and our team, state what quality means to us and finally give you an option to participate in a philosophical quest that we brew up for you. Feel curious already? Good…
But what exactly is @sndbox-alpha?
In case you don´t know what @sndbox-alpha is...
The purpose of the trail is excellently described [here]( https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sndbox-alpha/announcing-the-sndbox-alpha-curation-initiative-program-and-schedule) so give the article a read first. Important is though, that every team is free to experiment however they want. And believe us that we will experiment a lot!
As a team we are very much on the same page. We have the same goal and that is to seek out the best content out there and curate it in order to help the Steem ecosystem grow. We are open to critical discussions and have already underwent some in order to set up basic rules which will be followed.
We also want to hear any form of critical feedback. We are just humans too after all, and we might be missing something that you are not. Important part of philosophy is discussion, therefore you want to engage in one, we won’t say no.
We have agreed that whenever we want to make a decision as a team, we need to reach a consensus – which means 3 out of 4 votes. Since we are in the control for the first time we still need to find what works best for us. Expect proclamations of new practices and possible immediate changes. We are everything but conservative. Expect the unexpected!
As of now we are highly concentrated on keeping our voting power in between 70%-99% and on seeking out the articles of the highest quality.
So, do you want to get curated by @sndbox-alpha?
We know that the quality of the content is subjective mostly because we as humans are very different one from another thus what I would consider valuable you may not but, we have a few general ideas of what quality is.
Because we’re all quality content creators and experienced curators, we consider that we have an idea of how a quality post looks like so we decided that we don’t need anyone to review the posts we submit and just curate them directly, speeding up the whole process.
We have a few guidelines that anyone should follow to ensure their chances of getting curated by us.
Having Quantity
Even if we believe that the most important thing that defines a valuable post is the quality of the ideas spread, the quantity is necessary too because we have plenty posts to choose from and often, the amount of words is a determining factor. We like to reward longer valuable posts first because this way we reward the authors for the effort they put into creating that piece of content not only for the ideas so we think that 400 words are a minimum that anyone could get up to.
Original Content
I think this is an obvious one since we want to reward only original content so we will verify every post with premium plagiarism check to ensure that everything is fine. We mostly support content made special for Steem, but in some cases when the content is top quality, and we feel it deserves more rewards and eyes, we will curate reposts from personal blogs outside Steem.
Useful information
You cannot go wrong with a minimum of 400 original words and some great ideas, so if you accomplish these, your chances of getting curated by us are very high.
Also, we want to mention that we’ll try to stay as objective as possible and even curate content that we don’t agree with on a personal level as long as it’s valuable and might help some people.
The sndbox Summer Camp Quest: Philosophy, writing and Literature
Sndbox, as a project incubator strives to constantly come up with fresh ideas, projects and members. By July 2018, a whole new set of members will become part of Sndbox´s cohort 2, getting guidance, tips, support and collaboration from the team leaded by @hansikhouse and @voronoi.
Us, as members of sndbox, are aware of the potential of changing your Steem-life by becoming part of this amazing incubator, which is why, we have decided to create sinergy between @sndbox-alpa and the #sndboxsummercamp - both projects obviously powered by @sndbox.
This upcoming week we will be announcing the new Sndbox Quest: Philosophy, writing and literature. It will posted under the profiles of @guyfawkes4-20 and @anomadsoul and @fingersik and @martibis will be our official Quest judges.
Be on the lookout for the announcement because this project sinergy will prove to be one of the most benefical to the steemians who are looking to become part os sndbox for the cohort 2 as we, as a team will be actively curating posts joining the Quest but we will also be curating with our personal accounts, we will also be nominating some entries to be featured to @ocd and lastly, together we will decided who gets a spot to join the Sndbox Summercamp Final Quest.

I just keep trying and thinking about what I read from your post @sndbox-alpha, but I have not fully understood what I can share with you, but here I keep trying to do it including building a community in the village in order to encourage them to work in steemit.
thank you if maybe your idea in theme this week be inspiration for me.
You can write just about whatever you want of course, but throughout this month we will only be curating philosophical articles and writing (stories, fiction, etc.)

For a philosophy that is created to support writing, of course we must have a content that is highly qualified, original works, and useful for many people. I can join it ?
try to produce something and we might curate it:)
@fingersik
Hi guys! Good day!
I do love so much to join. I am quite unsure though... I do blog about life. Does it belong to this Category?
It can, but it doesn’t have to. Life as a hashtag doesn’t really have the necessary explanatory powers.
@fingersik
Thank you @fingersik. I'll have entries soon once the quest is on.
Wow. This theme quite interesting. Hoping i can come out one soon
I've already entered a post to follow your contest a few days ago for the philosophy category (https://steemit.com/philosophy/@lamkote/understanding-of-hadih-maja-philosophy-of-life-of-aceh-community-bilingual), and thanks for your kind response @ sndbox-alpha. what I want to ask is whether I can still enter the contest for the category of writing or literature. Please answer @ sndbox-alpha. regards.
Of course! There is no limit for the upvotes you can recieve from us. This month you can concentrate this solely on production of philosophical articles and hope for lot of upvotes:)
@fingersik
Thank you @sndbox-alpha and @fingersik

Yin & Yang and Crypto-Art Philosophy
In fact, the world always has two sides. Day and night, happy and sad, small and big, men and women, hot and cold, good and bad, all things in pairs are known as Yin & Yang.
Try to be quiet for a moment and withdraw from the busy you are doing now. Sit down, be quiet, and think about why you are so busy. In fact, you have the same right to relax, what are you after ?!

https://steemit.com/philosophy/@lamkote/understanding-of-hadih-maja-philosophy-of-life-of-aceh-community-bilingual-part-2-religion
For writing and literature, should it be English only? What qualifies as "useful information" if it's a fictional post? Or does it not apply?
Only English posts can qualify. If it is a ficntional post than it falls under the category of "literature and writing" and there it of course is not only about "useful information"!
Ok thanks!
do u have a discord channel?
Nope. You can only communicate transparently with us on the Blockchain.
@fingersik
Kool do u give feedback?
If you ask for it then yes i guess... We have never done it so far.
@fingersik
Ah kool, well I was wondering about this one? https://steemit.com/ecotrain/@celestialcow/what-is-your-ideal-societal-structure-patriarchy-matriarchy-egalitarianism-and-more is it too long or not using enough mark down or just general style would love to know
I don't know if this qualifies but here's my latest post.
https://steemit.com/religion/@artgirl/you-want-spiritual-renewal-watch-along-with-the-gods-a-korean-movie
we wish that our post can be easily monitored by @sndbox-alpha .. we have to use tag what?
No we don’t use tags...if you think you have created a really good post you can link it to our latest @sndbox-alpha post. Just so you know like 90% of those weren’t upvoted anyway. We seek quality, but quality so far doesn’t seek us.
@fingersik
