As @ocd is getting ready to start curation again and there will be a new way announced to add quality and original content authors to it we are adding a last chance for the community to recommend themselves or others they feel should be on the OCDB whitelist.
After curating for over a year with @ocd and adding 3000 underrewarded authors to the whitelist that we wanted to continue to support after the initial curation, we will now be continuing to grow the whitelist and curate users in a broad variety of content. Before you recommend authors make sure that:
- They aren't already on the whitelist
- They don't make more than $5 per post on average.
- They write quality and original content on a regular basis.
- There's been no plagiarism/abuse associated with that account.
- They will only use @ocdb on english content.
We will be curating your nominations over the next week but there are no promises that everyone will be added. If you aren't added to the whitelist today, keep working on your content as there will be plenty of other opportunities to join the whitelist later on.
If you make it to the whitelist, we want to warn you to only bid on posts you yourself deem to be of quality and original content, at the same time used the bids with common sense. If you post something that took little time and effort, don't overdo the max bid. We are constantly monitoring the bid queue and will be giving out warnings to users we feel are going against our principles and once you're out of the whitelist, getting back in will be near impossible.
Same thing goes for recommending people who plagiarise and abuse, if we find a pattern that you've added many of those users it might remove your chance at the whitelist as well.
If you aren't aware of what @ocdb is; basically we are the biggest non-profit distribution project that gives authors a flat 10% profit. 1 post can be purchased every 24 hours and demand and price of Steem is what adjusts the max bid. We've found a healthy way to grow distribution to a number of deserving authors as we believe this will do the platform a lot of good longterm. Since this is nonprofit we also reserve the rights to who is on the whitelist and who isn't depending on our judgement of the actions taken by those users. This does not mean that we will be trying to exclude certain users on purpose.
Now let's get to it!
Add the username of an account you feel should be added to the whitelist along with a short description of what that account writes about and why you think it'll be a good match. The account can be yours too, we just don't want people spamming usernames thus the description is required to avoid that.
If there are any further questions feel free to ask here!
Self-promo:
@ocd will be looking for new authors joining our blockchain and giving them a chance to grow through @ocdb, if you like what we are doing and the non-profit nature of it, feel free to support us by other means such as delegating to @ocd and voting our witness @ocd-witness.
We have also been working on a lot of new additions to add to OCD and will be implementing them on a regular basis and growing our community! Feel free to join us on discord to stay up to date with news and @ocdb max bid updates
If you want to delegate to @ocdb, everyone is free to do so. We send you back 90% of the rewards (bids + curation) and 10% go to the authors bidding on their posts. Delegating does not get you whitelisted, and being whitelisted does not mean you have to delegate.

I've never been good at promoting myself, but let's give it a try. I'll also use a comment from @revisesociology:

You can find it here .
So, I'm @hitmeasap and I would love to be whitelisted. I've been a member since July 2016 and I've never overused bid bots or bought votes like a crazy person. I do post a bunch of random stuff, but I have no intentions of buying votes for my streaming-posts for instance, as those doesn't yield much in terms of rewards as it is today. Some might, but most does not.
I am the co-founder of the no longer active @asapers project, I have pushed people into minnowhood with the former "push people"-initiative and I have just recently powered up ~4500 SP to become a Dolphin. Due to the recent Power up, I have also made an official announcement of "Minnow-ASAP", an improved version of the previous "push people"-initiative where I will target specific people and push them into minnowhood by the use of upvotes, donations, SBI-shares and education.
I am also a former SOG (Stewards Of Gondor) member and I am currently involved in the "250 Minnow Push", as I truly believe that we need a strong middle class on STEEM to flourish.
There might be some others out there who can vouch for me as well, but that's basically all I have to say for now at least.
I literally just added @ocdb to my witness list just before you posted this @acidyo pure coincidence but I do like what you are doing to encourage people to post better quality content.

As it stands if we do not use the existing bidbots our content will never been seen.
I have been posting here for almost two years and yet still fall into your selection criteria.
They aren't already on the whitelist
They don't make more than $5 per post on average. (less than a $1 in my case)
They write quality and original content on a regular basis.
There's been no plagiarism/abuse associated with that account.
Many of the people I follow are in the ocdb club and although I'm not much of a joiner of anything I would like to join your team.
I'd also like to nominate my alt curation account @steemimages which I have been manually curating for 6 months now. I have learned quite a bit about the curation process by doing this activity and have hopefully encouraged a few people too.
Edit
My personal blog is mostly about travel, nature, life and photography with content ranging from architectural images, historic places and wildlife photos taken in the field. Not the easiest of subjects but great fun.
I would like to nominate two people, @elihs and @dalz.
@elihs is posting genuine and original content. She usually writes actifit and steemhunt posts, but from time to time she also does blog about traveling, something she wants to share, or something else she’s passionate about.
@dalz is similar, but more focused on the crypto side of things and blender tutorials. He does different analysis, writes about crypto, as well as blender things he’s interested in, especially tutorials, and puts a great deal of effort into each and every one of his posts.
But overall, both of them are consistent, genuine and original content creators and the first people to introduce me to Steemit :) The reason I would love to see them on the whitelist is because I truly believe they deserve more for what they are doing, especially because I know how much they love Steemit and are into it :)
Hey. I would like to recommend a great artist @Arrr, this is a real creator of art who has his own style of drawing and take his work very seriously. He also participates in the development of computer games. I'm not sure that you have a lot of time to read this, but still I will say. Arrrr is my friend, we grew up in one city, we are already more than 30 years old, and as far as I know him he has always been a creative person and he always had a pencil and paper at hand, he draws all his life, he is a talent and that is a fact! Now we live in different countries, but from time to time we visit each other and keep our friendship, we constantly consult and share experiences, share our impressions about the art of drawing and creating music. In order not to be unfounded you can see this for yourself by looking at his works.
And in the second place, I will recommend myself @sadheaven, I am a musician, I have been writing club electronic music for 17 years, working with many artists from different parts of the place. I always try to develop and make exclusively original and exclusive music. I am also known as paul infrasonic.
Thank you, and I wish you good luck in all your endeavors, I watch what is happening and how much strength you build in ocd, it’s very good that you are and you support the creators!
@ketcom | March 22, 2019, 10:17 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [
VOTE ]
Hey @acidyo, I'll like to recommend myself @ketcom. I have been posting daily consistently since October 2018, I joined September 2018. I post good quality content that talks about my country, my garden, rabbit farm, places I've traveled to or visited, my experiences and the Dapps I use top of which are @actifit and @partiko and various cooking recipes because I believe I am a very good cook.
I also write about a community I started just last month called @upvotebuilders which is helping to reward good content creators by upvoting their work based on their SP delegation membership level with the community.
I have gone through a lot of challenges in life and have come out stronger, these expericence and many more life lessons are where I draw my motivation to write. These are things you can't copy and my account has never recorded a plagiarism accusation or abuse of any sort.
My post are mostly encouraging and informative and can be read by anyone including kids. I'll be extremely grateful if you could include @ketcom on your whitelist, I promise you won't regret it.
Thank you

I'd like to nominate @hitmeasap to get on the whitelist. The guy writes good quality content pretty much all the time, and truly cares about helping people grow on the platform and interacting with the Steemit community in general. The guy is incredibly genuine and is one of the best people I've seen on the Platform. He's a sound choice to be added to the whitelist, and if you don't then I guess you're just some kind of sick, commie turbo virgin.
Also, I co-nominate myself which some may say is an underhanded method. But, to those people, I say this. Suckle upon the dirtiest part of my taint while you get ready to be part of modern art. But, anyways, I nominate myself due to the fact that I typically write pretty entertaining posts that I would say a decent amount of people enjoy. I put quite a bit of effort into my writing, as well as occasional videos which I edit to keep people laughing or at least amused. Those that typically aren't into my work seem to be part of a sub species of cavemen who have mutated and somehow found their way onto the internet. Very strange stuff indeed.
I often write video game and movie reviews, as well as music recommendation posts in hopes of having some interactivity in the community with sharing something I'd imagine most people are passionate about to at least some extent. I definitely feel as though my content is under appreciated and under rewarded, and believe I deserve at least several dozen handjobs with sandpaper and some sheckles pelted into my face again and again, baby. So, vote for Deadspace for Steemit president.
Hi there!
I'd like to get outside my comfort zone for this, and do a bit of self-promotion. Not for this account, but rather for my "choose-your-own-adventure" account: @postplaygames.
@postplaygames is where I post daily updates to a sprawling RPG game that anyone is free to join in & participate with. I don't require upvotes nor resteem from the players, so it is truly & honestly 100% free to play.
Not only that, but I'm currently expanding the entire project in order to begin allowing other Steemians & writers to create their own RPG games that will get posted to the account and hopefully reach a wide audience. The games will be curated to ensure high-quality and active writers. Once this feature is rolled out, and if I were to be lucky enough to get on the @ocdb whitelist, I would use the @ocd upvote to randomly reward one of the day's stories. I think all of this would help introduce new creators to the Steem platform and give them a headstart. Basically:
"Are you a writer? Come pitch a game to Post-Play Games! If selected, you'll earn daily rewards, gather a fanbase, and can use that to grow your own brand."
That's how I plan to target creators. For everyday users, who aren't on Steem yet, I'm actually going to be rolling out my very own hand-coded Post-Play Games mobile app, where anyone can come & play a wide variety of free Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games hosted on Steem. This will open up Steem to an entirely new demographic and, with the right marketing, can bring in a bunch of new people.
In addition to all of the above, I also want to bring back a feature from earlier games I posted, where I actually redistributed the weekly rewards back to the players. This incentives active engagement, not to mention making the games more enjoyable to play! ;^)
note: *currently, @postplaygames is on a hiatus due to some unfortunate real-life issues that arose. But come April 1st, everything will be firing at all cylinders again!
Sorry for the long post, as I said I tend to feel weird promoting my own works so I feel the need to over-explain my ideas in order to justify it haha 😅
Regardless of the outcome, I think what you all are doing with this initiative is great! Thank you for helping people earn while doing what they love 😊👍
Let me know of you have any questions, I'm always around! :^)

I nominate myself @joseda32, I usually post writings that come to mind, I do reviews of series, manga, anime and film, I post about mythology, about the stories that I like the most and I tell them combining all the information I get, doing a new an amazing story, sometimes I post about my life and thanks to Steemit I have even encouraged myself to write a story (Maybe a book).
I'm a Latin American, so I post my posts twice, one in Spanish and one in English, I'll use the ocd account only for post in English as you say.
I have already received a vote from the ocd account, so I do not know if I belong to the whitelist, but I nominate myself in case I'm not.
I would like to apply again to be on the legendary white list.
I am very active in the German-speaking community and try hard to lead new members to Steem. I have a lot of ideas to make Steem more attractive and I would like to implement them bit by bit. Through the OCD I would have the possibility to make my contributions more popular.
A little bit about me ... I have been living in Greece for 13 years as an emigrant. I am quite social and support many projects financially. Also I am quite argumentative. I say what I think and I act as I consider it right. Thereby I got already some times in controversy with Steem :)
My contributions are diversified, once it is about how to improve Steem and then many contributions about Greece with pictures and drone videos are published.
I would only use OCD for articles that are published bilingual and that could be of interest.
Ich möchte mich hiermit auch noch einmal bewerben um auf die Sagenumwobene weiße Liste zu kommen.
Ich bin sehr aktiv in der deutschsprachigen Community und sehr bemüht neue Mitglieder zu Steem zu führen. Ich habe viele Ideen mit denen man Steem etwas attraktiver machen kann und möchte diese auch nach und nach umsetzen. Durch den OCD hätte ich dir Möglichkeit meine Beiträge bekannter zu machen.
Ein wenig über mich … ich lebe seit 13 Jahren als Auswanderer in Griechenland. Bin recht sozial eingestellt und unterstütze auch finanziell viele Projekte. Auch bin ich recht streitlustig. Ich sage was ich denke und ich handele so wie ich es für richtig halte. Dadurch bin ich auch schon einige male bei Steem in Streit geraten :)
Meine Beiträge sind breit gefächert, einmal geht es darum wie man Steem verbessern kann und dann werden viele Beiträge über Griechenland mit Bildern und Drohnenvideos veröffentlicht.
Ich würde OCD nur in Anspruch nehmen für Beiträge die zweisprachig veröffentlicht werden und die auch von Interesse sein könnten.
OK I feel a little awkward promoting myself in this way, but would lovelovelove to make it that oh-so-fabuloso whitelist! So uhm... Here goes...
My name as you can quite clearly see via the gift of eyes is @stevenwood ((I trust you can deduce my real name from this subtle clue?))
I mainly write motivational posts aimed at questioning the way our subconscious mind reacts to the principles of success that could drive us all forward if we would only embrace them.
I love to promote the work of others who excel from time to time, writers, musicians, all-round lovely people with enormous hearts and often people who are going the extra mile to promote mass adoption, blockchain tech and crypto understanding to the wider population.
I have experience as a curator, my first true love on the blockchain and I read every single post that I curate or leave a comment on...
Which brings me to my one and only super-power...
On discord curation shows and among those who know me well here I am famous for what I describe as awesometastical mega comments, this has always been my destiny on the blockchain.
I was hurtling toward success with the platform some time ago but sadly due to a family illness, then bereavement I lost a lot of ground and have been scrabbling to make it up of late, I just passed my first year on the platform and am raring to hit some pretty extreme targets that I have set myself in the coming months.
I am gonna be introducing some initiatives to stimulate engagement in the near future too, and a little something for the onboardees.
I am invested for the long-term on the platform, emotionally and soon to be financially. I am happy to say my diet is completely FUD free...I'm just not wired that way.
Hello, I am @roveana, I nominate myself, as seen.
Generally, in my blog I talk about art, both famous artists, works, my own creations, step by step drawings, descriptions and analysis of works, as well as I can get to give musical and artistic recommendations, one or another I am talking about personal or written matters that have occurred to me at the time.
I think that it could provide a vision of some points of view referring to art, of showing that art is something functional, something that surrounds us and that we are not exempt from art itself.
I hope you take into consideration my comment despite, that I have done it a little late and thanks for this opportunity.
