Number of reviewed and rewarded contributions
Average score
Number of reviews by Moderator
This week we had more contributions than the previous week but the average score was lower.
The good thing is that we had a new contributor this week. He submitted 2 posts, the quality of his contributions was not the best but he is trying to improve. Maybe this decreased the average score a little bit.
Thanks to the suggestion of @tykee, I added the chart Number of reviews by Moderator. This week the reviews were made by @knowledges (2) and me (3). Tykee is also an active Moderator of our category but currently he is helping in the Blog category.
Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.

We did not have Staff picks this week, and only one contribution was good to recommend. Check it out.

Disclaimer: The prize is taken from my personal account. This is an unofficial contest. It is only for the Suggestions category. You must not complain to Utopian about this contest. If something is wrong with the points, or if the rules are not clear, you should write to me, not to Utopian.
Common mistakes and how to fix them
The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.
1 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less
1.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low
If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.
1.2 The quality of the mockups/images could be better
Mockups are really useful to explain an idea. We (and most of the users) are not Graphic designers. We do not expect high quality images, but few details would transform a poor mockup in a great one. We have excellent graphic designers in our community, use our Discord server, share your images, ask for help. They will guide you to improve your mockups.
1.3 - The proposal is not detailed enough
The proposal should be as informative and descriptive as possible. This will help the project owner (and the people who read your post) to understand your suggestion. Avoid being vague about the benefits of your idea.
Interesting open source projects

Hello @favcau,
Thank you for providing the weekly report for the Suggestions category. As usual, this report is comprehensive and well represented with appropriate graphical contents. Well done!
It's great that we have another contributor in the category. At least, he/she is a plus, and I hope the contributor will learn to provide quality Idea contributions. Also, I appreciate that you included moderators activities as I suggested in the last weekly report.
Furthermore, your tips for common mistakes are really useful, and all Idea contributors should have a peek.
Thank you and have a glorious 2019.
Please note that while the CM hasn't changed the footer, I am not scoring #iamutopian posts based on the questionnaire. They have their own metric, and that will be the case until we go live with the new guidelines and new questionnaire, which will be comprehensive enough to reflect these types of posts.
Your contribution has been evaluated according to Utopian policies and guidelines, as well as a predefined set of questions pertaining to the category.
