Application for The Communities of the Month Support Program

Dear Steemit Team,
Here is our application for the Community of The Month Support Program.

Steeming Community Purpose
Steeming Community is a community for all Steemit users around the globe that would be sharing varieties of life hacks and discoveries in their daily life or through their life experiences. Your team may look further into this on this post here Steeming Community Purpose on Steemit.

Community Team
Steeming Community Team consists of @cryptokannon as a founder of the community and she is being assisted by 8 others active moderators.
@imamalkimas from Indonesia: He is fluent in the Indonesian language and understands English well.
@juichi from the Philippines currently residing in Japan: He is fluent in Tagalog and English.
@fabio2614 from the Philippines: She is fluent in Tagalog and English.
@boss75 from Bangladesh: He is fluent in Bengali and good at English.
@advhl from Venezuela: She is fluent in Spanish and understands English.
@jesusremaj7 from Venezuela: He is fluent in Spanish and understands English.
@psicoparedes from Venezuela: He is fluent in Spanish and English.
@alejos7ven from Venezuela: He is fluent in Spanish and English.
@cryptokannon from Malaysia currently residing in Japan: She is good in Bahasa Melayu and English.

We set aside 20% of the 50% SBD payout reward for the moderator incentive. We pay them on a biweekly or monthly basis depending on our community curation earning from the 50% SBD post payout rewards.
Besides these liquid steem rewards, our moderators that organize any contest in the community also get 10% of the contest's announcement and winners announcement post payout.
Lastly, our moderators will get incentives through their community post picks of the day (they will publish this post in rotation) that will then be selected for booming curation.

Currently, @cryptokannon, steemitblog and steemcurator01 are the Admins of the Steeming Community. They may do what is appropriate just in case the founder admin @cryptokannon is somehow gone or left.

Community Curation Account
@steemingcuration is our community curation account and currently has about 8,593.100 SP of its own and 36,876.400SP delegated to it.
Our plan for growing the SP of the account is by encouraging our community members to delegate to this community curation account.
Next is by asking all members to put 30% of their post payout at Steeming Community to @steemingcuration.
Currently, the post rewards from @steemingcuration account that are from the 50% SBD reward; 30% of it converted to Steem for power up then 20% for the team incentives, 40% for delegators payout and community contest prizes, and 10% of it to @steemingcharity account.
The other 50% SP reward is just as it is as we want to grow the account SP as much as possible.

All the moderators currently have the posting key and only @fabio2614 and @alejos7ven for the activation key as they are helping the admin founder to distribute the contest prize and also setting up some script bot for our curation trail.
@alejos7ven has set up a voting bot that all of our team moderators can use to upvote our community members with the command of ! zen x% and each mod with limited bandwidth to decrease the voting abuse attempt. Here is an example of this curation bot in action.

Currently, only @cryptokannon holds the master password for this community curation account.

According to https://steemworld.org/@steemingcuration @steemingcuration has 12.1 Voting CSI. All of our moderators have the privilege of having their post upvote once a day with a full 100% VP then to our delegators based on their SP amount delegated and to our community members. If we have some VP mana left for a day, our moderators will support other alliance communities such as @cotina and @japansteemit and its member's posts.

Plagiarism & Abuse
We have @psicoparedes leading the plagiarism and abuse team in our community besides having help from the @endingplagiarism team.
Almost 90% of our active members have verified themselves through community contests that require them to verify themselves and also they all have completed at least achievement 1 of Newcomers Community Program.
We will soon have all our verified members with a checkmark in our community to further strengthen this effort.
We have constantly reminded our community members to make sure that they give sources to any material such as photos or articles that is not their own.

Engagement & Commenting
Our team of moderators is required to comment on every post that they have selected for the Community Support Program of the Booming Team. They have commented on all of the contest entry posts too.
We have encouraged our community members to engage more in the community by having the policy of "To receive support for their post in the community, the members are required to comment and upvote at least 3 other communities members before promoting their post at our discord server promotion channel."

Plans & Updates
Founder admin usually does the monthly update on community budget and delegators payout and biweekly update for the delegation and the activities in the community.

Promotion
We have a Twitter account for steemingcuration community to tweet any publications that are in our community. Besides this, our team members will open a telegram channel for Spanish speaker users, so they can use that medium to communicate besides the discord server that we currently have.
We have been from the beginning only allow #steemexclusive posts in our community and we will continue to do so. As of now, we have 5,797 subscribers and 112 active users.

Hopefully, we are given more support by the Steemit Team, to increase more users in our community and to support the further development of our community. We aim high to be a different community as we mention above we will be focusing more on life hacks and DIY, in this way it can help the livelihood and daily life of our users.

We are hoping that the Steemit team will consider our community on receiving this Community of the Month Support Program. Furthermore, we welcome any feedback or any request that your team requires us to do for the improvement of the community as a whole.

Thank you and kind regards,
@cryptokannon on behalf of
Steeming Community Team and Steeming Community.
