I am very sure if you are very active on steemit, you will know that it is very difficult to keep up with a lot of people at the same time especiallly if you are faced with a lot of responsibilities.  I have know known the account with the name curie since i joined steemit but i did not know what they stood for. One thing i knew then was the fact that it supported communities like mine which is Nigeria using 5 curators from Nigeria. 


It was not really long when i deeply knew about curie. I knew about them and their prospects when i became a curator. It was then that i knew that we had the small curie and the big curie. Though it is hard to curate since there are a lot of standards the post must meet.  One of the reasons why you should trust curie


The small curie is the one where curators were supported so they can assist minnows from their communities. the big one is the one with high vote but kind off has to go through a lot of screening. i am sure @carlgnash has explained that clearly to you.



>I will agree with all of that but i have also been contacted by a ton of people on discord and such that wanted to tell me I am doing a good job but they are fearful of getting a down vote hammer if they spoke up
 

No harm brother but i feel you might not be sincere here or it is that those that are messaging you are ignorant minnows that do not really understand how this work. When i started steemit it was hard and sometimes i will see curie vote me and i will get 8$ or 10$ and curie can vote another person and he or she will get over 100$. That was enough for me to think curie was biased. I would have made a post like you just did but i was determined to know the reason and not be too forward. It was later that i discovered that those 8$ i get then was not from curie directly. It was from one of the Nigerian curators. 

So if a minnow messages yhu on discord saying you are doing a good job, please dont take it too seriously. They dont really understand curie. Those that undersatnd curie will not chicken out and run private, they will say it here because nobody will flag them. 


I really appreciate you for coming up with this but 
>Some of this is blatant abuse of what curie stands for
curie does not stand for any abuse and they mean no harm 

It is just that in trying to help a lot of people curie has entrusted a some people with part of their power but some of them have missued it.  Now because you have pointed it out, legitimate actions will be taken. 


We are different humans and we handle situations differently. Not that i am judging you but i wouldnt have made posts about this. I would have contacted the team and ask them to look into it. 


Curie needs delegation, help them to get it dont help them take away the little they have. 

Have a nice day
