The purpose of a Curation trail is to have a community of people coming together to help up vote posts.

There is an entity that is the governing body of the trail and if you join that trail then you are placing your up vote in their hands, which is why you choose wisely as to which trails you join

One of the things I notice is that a number of people that are in a trail have not set up their up vote value correctly.

I can see some trails that have a number of people are giving 0 value to their up vote when they could be adding a value to their up vote, which would not only benefit their curation rewards but would also benefit the person whose post is getting up voted by the trails curator.

If you are a member of a Curation Trail, please re visit https://hive.vote look at the trail you are a member of and check your up vote value.

Make Curation trails worthwhile being a member of, don’t waste your up vote.

We as a community are always talking about how we are supporting and buoying each other to get to certain value status, so lets actually do it.

If you are a member of a trail and don't want to give value, then stick to manually up voting and leave the trail behind

Give the trail value and allow it to be supportive

If you are the curator of a Curation trail, please contact your members and ensure that they are giving value to your trail, otherwise your trail just looks spammy.

If you are going to take on the responsibility of offering authors value through your trail then take on the responsibility of managing your trail

I had a friend that got their post up voted by a trail the other day, 600 up votes they received, They got really excited and then disheartened. Only 20 of those up votes actually contributed any value to the post, that’s 580 members of that trail that are giving 0 value to their up vote.

Why are they a member of that trail and why does the curator allow this. Its impressive to get 600 Up Votes but not when it demonstrates virtually 0 value.

If you are a curator of such a trail, please don't think that you are doing a service that is up lifting and positive to newcomers

If you are going to work as a community then work as one,

It is in your benefit to add value to your up vote so do yourself a favour and add value to your up vote
