RE: My Proposals For The Next Utopian BIWEEKLY 01/05/2018 4PM CET
I want to thank you personally, that I thought that you and other supervisors didn't even see the problems people suffering. Since there is no active discussions about these on discord (or I'm missing all of them) I thought you had no idea. So I'm also sorry about thinking that way.
As propositions I'll hopefully add some but I see many mods complaining already with a greedy attitude, seems like forgetting the purpose. So still it's not my business but I would suggest that,
Every mod should re-considered and expected to be at least some years of experience/contributions in open source platforms.
Even the translator team, I saw many conversation that says "Everyone in utopian can translate", "So it's the most abused section" etc. Likewise everyone can proofread a text, a person with the love of open source can do that too..
Whoever gets into this for money make this platform even greedy, open source doesn't need that in my personal view.
I was planned to make a post about that but I already started so,
Graphics contributions should get voted by a group of proven designers for quality standards.
Like in #I-am-on-it channel in discord a private channel can created for these designers and when a mod review a post with other aspects. This designers could up/down vote the content just for quality aspect.
Design and art can not be qualified with one person's view. So a collaborative idea about if that design works or not will be more trustful.
I specifically inspect one of the graphics section mod's works which are great in my opinion, but not great as he started and in his defence, he states that utopian doesn't have a quality bar, so why he should put more effort than others?. seems logical.
Last but not least, I saw one proposition that suggests moderation applicants should have 90 days old account, who's oldest post was 18 days old :) So how should I trust his judgements..
I don't know how it could be applied but moderators shouldn't be chosen from up, I mean supervisors or else.
Thanks for your suggestions!
