RE: Welcome The New Voting Distribution for the Utopian Bot And Moderation Rewards!
That's literally why I mentioned "Communication" as a "Dislike".
Every update freaks out contributors, haven't had a single one where not some people thought it's over now, because it wasn't clear enough communicated what the consequences are.
It has to be clearly said what exactly changes and what stays the same and that people will still receive upvotes and that this is not the end of utopian as a whole.
Can you share more why you think that Utopian would end? In my opinion, the post contains the needed information and is explained quite simply. It is understandable that the wording might have been better so there is no confusion, nevertheless.
We are here, especially in Discord, to answer any questions that our users have.
After reading this I was 100% sure, that only posts with a score of at least 80 are upvoted, resulting in a minority of posts getting the upvote.
This would imho have broken utopian.
I think I don't have to elaborate any further why this would be bad for contributors, projects and utopian as a whole. I mean, we do want to get more people to do contributions, right? And a too high hurdle for beginners (or even experienced developers) would demotivate them, resulting in fewer good contributions...
Of course stuff that is clearly against the rules or really really bad to the point of being spam should deserve no upvote. But if something brings value to a project it should be upvoted (even if it is just a little).
I can see the cause of misunderstanding and it could be probably solved by adding one word.
There is no real "little" or "symbolic" vote at the moment.
Utopian votes are meant for the best of the best. If there are not enough of them, then other people may be upvoted as well.
Yes definitively. Very often it's just these little things that would improve the understanding.
Is it actively beeing rounded? Because I thought it should be the score times the maximum upvote for the category.
I haven't seen too many of the best of the best anywhere ;)
I read that part many times also and I did not really think that it makes that much difference. It is possible to misunderstand, though.
The vote is given in discrete values from 1 to 100 (excluding 0 because that means no vote). I hope I am not mistaken as I do not recall seeing decimals in the votes.
As I said, if there are not enough of the best, the others are still in the queue. There are going to be new QAs in the questionnaire that should be more suitable for each category.
We can see that lots of contributions get higher score because of questions that do not allow to give lower score, unless the user answers falsely.
