How are your curators selected and how do we know they will do a fair job? We've seen problems on this front in other manual curation communities.
Right now they are picked by leadership from those with existing curation experience, or those we feel would make a fair judgement.
The curation channel will soon be open for any helpie member to see (soon), and feedback can also be given for that. @helpiecake also leaves a trail of what was selected as well. We will remove anyone that abuses their role to vote effortless content, though we don't really expect too many problems with that. We'll see how it plays out. There are a few guidelines I have in mind but there's nothing official.
Interesting, what about self votes or Curators voting on each others posts? I've seen that happen elsewhere

Yeah, definitely something to be on the lookout for. It will definitely happen just by nature of curators knowing each other but we will be looking to not be excessive with it. Self votes we do not allow. We hope that others in our community will also be watchful and call out such behavior.
