RE: Suggestions category - Weekly report: #19
Hi @favcau, thank you for the prize. I feel shame a bit that I got the prize with this low score :)
But I have some reasons. First, I intentionally didn't participate actively, since I also hoped that others win the prize. Second, more importantly, I think some of my posts were too undervalued. To be honest, I don't think they were properly treated. Of course I understand that the value on the suggestions can be very different depending on people. But a unique (and important, of course this is subjective I have to admit :) suggestion on a project that is heavily used in so many apps gets virtually lowest score, even lower than a usual suggestion (of feature which already exists on other apps) for an app that is not widely used? This really doesn't make sense to me. Ironically it was one of my best suggestions to me.
To be clear, I'm not taking about the score itself. The score itself isn't that important actually. Voting is also not that important. Even the maximum vote can't cover contributor's time-value. Reviewers should carefully choose expressions. This is not only for their comments but also for review system message.
For instance, "This contribution adds nearly no value to the open source community and ecosystem or the specific project." shouldn't be chosen unless it's unarguably apparent. Of course I know it's just auto-generated message for the lowest score for that evaluation section. But I still think that message itself should be rephrased.
In sum, I sometimes (of course not always) feel that a review is done just for review. I really wish if there could be a review system on reviews. This may be one reason why we don't have many good suggestions. But I know reviewers don't get paid well so this is very difficult to solve. Another reason of not many good suggestions may be the lack of PO's response. If they don't care, contributors lose motivation.
ps. I'll donate 15 STEEM again (but if possible, please start it from May since I think until April some bounty is already secured). I originally planned to donate much more, but I'd like to keep some for my too much undervalued suggestions this time :) By the way, how did steemsql that @arcange agreed? If it's given as well, I'll donate more. Thanks.
Rules are rules, you finished in first place, so you are the winner.
I think that I know what post are you talking about, but please, write this on Discord, link the post and tag the moderator. I know that you are not complaining but you deserve a better response.
Indeed, it should be rephrased. I am not a big fan of using a questionnaire to score a contribution, but this is what we have at the moment. I beliave that this will be improved. For example, I prefer this feature more than some fixed options.
We (CMs) always check the comments made by the Mods. If you sometimes feels like that, then there is a problem of comunication in our side. If this happens again, please contact us on Discord.
Sure. Thanks.
I told him that in my opinion those subscriptions will be more useful for Analysis contributors since our contributors barely use those services. I suggested to our Analysis CM that he could give a subscription to Staff picks authors, but he never replied back.
Thank you for your feedback.
Hi @favcau, thank you so much for your kind word. While I also thought about asking on discord, but if possible (unless rejected) I don't want to bring up the issue too publicly. While it's true that I was quite discouraged, I'll try to submit suggestions again if I have a good idea. Thank you so much!
