One thing that needs to be corrected in this post is that ocd very seldomly curates the ocd community anymore. We have a channel in our discord where people are encouraged to drop their intro posts but even that isn't actively being curated as of late.

It's kind of a chicken and egg problem I guess or s catch 22, if we start actively curating intro posts, the amount of fakes increases and it becomes harder and harder to determine their authenticity. Then we are blasted and "shamed" by certain other dhf recipient projects for not curating properly and needing to get them involved to act on fakes when we haven't correctly identified them.

It's kind of a tough situation so for the most part we've curated first posts of new users based on if we believe they were onboarded by legitimate users.

So the best way to currently get your intro post seen and curated by us is to either have been directly onboarded by one of our onboarders (even though the onboarding project is at a halt currently cause hiveonboard went down) or for them to tag/mention who brought them to hive and preferably for that user to drop a vote/comment confirming it and for us to trust that that user isn't part of a intro-and-dash fake user scheme.
