OCD Sportstalk Incubation Curation Update

What a great week we had on @sportstalksocial as things are moving along nicely with some really good growth. Our count last week had our Sports tribe sitting at 1283 members and a short while ago when I checked we had 1331 which is more than double our average growth. This is really great news as the tribe is attracting more attention. The lowly target of 2000 members by the year end is looking somewhat easier to achieve as the weeks are being ticked off.

This week we were spoiled for choice with some great posts and really want to say thanks to everyone for making this curating task so enjoyable. Being a lover of sports it is a pleasure to read and learn about other sports that you may not always follow.

Over the last 7 days we have had close to 40 posts being submitted for curation and by the time this is posted we may be over that number. This is nearly double what is curated on average each week as this is sometimes a struggle to find decent content to submit daily.

Over the last week we had our sorts showcase post which will become a weekly thing on Wednesdays highlighting how good our sports content is. People need to know what is going on in Sportstalk and Hive and this is the perfect way to highlight this.

I am sure many of you are aware that the tribe received their first advertising payments which will go towards developing the site. There is so much we can do and need to do which I am sure will start to slowly happen as proposals are submitted.

What is encouraging to see is there isn't much abuse around on the tribe these days as we seem to have kicked those users into touch. Please lets not relax though and still keep an eye out as we don't need those users reappearing under other aliases.

I keep mentioning this like a broken record as it is that important. In order to be curated effort needs to be seen in what is posted as the rewards have to be justified. With the @ocd curation being voted in Hive and not sports tokens this is holding serious dollar values so please take the time to help yourself when putting a post together. The community becomes stronger if the members are growing in value not only in sports tokens, but also in Hive Power.

Tonight there were a few posts that could have been curated but weren't as just posting is only half the job on here. Engaging with others with comments on their posts is something the majority of us just do. In order to grow one needs to engage with others and when looking at some accounts their history shows this is not the case. Support goes both ways and you need to be active in the community and one comment every two weeks tells me otherwise. @ocd is a community curation project backed by delegators who think of the community so it is only fair to help others doing exactly that.

Lets keep the standards high and repeat what we have seen this week as there are a special bunch of people in here now giving us a great foundation to become bigger and bigger. Thanks to everyone yet again and thanks to @ocd for their fantastic support.

Thanks for the update. I'm delighted to be part of this community and I reckon in 2 or 3 years time, we'll be looked at as early adopters and people will wish they started the journey early like us.

Thanks for the ongoing support @cryptoandcoffee and @ocd
